Single HKT48 8th [Saikou ka yo] (2016/09/07)

@EinhanderX It's following the trend of the previous singles. The only one selling out, or at least following in amount, behind Sasshi, Sakura & sometimes Haruppi in the earlier rounds. Not exactly a bad spot to be in lol.

More photos from the shoot today. They went all around Tokyo, one of these is from Ueno and the other one from the Katsushika ward, more to the west across the Arakawa river.

If you see what Maichan is holding there, it's a sign with "Cyber" on it. This can of course mean what it means in English, but it's also part of wotagei MIX chants, as you might know. After seeing this I had a look at the previous photo and I think I spotted it on the banner as well, so I think that might be a banner with the entire chant on it.

So maybe a slight wotagei theme? The outfit style does seem to go well with rave-y things for one lol.

 

NMB changed the system to payment after each round when they change application platform. Thats why Im asking since HKT changed from charaani to AKB group shop

i'm reading on matome that the single has stirred some controversy on plagiarism with "neru's song"

 

All the coupling songs have been revealed. Aside from the songs already mentioned it will be team songs (all three teams) and theater edition will have a solo song with Hana it seems.

Also count the JKT48 covers for KFC.

 

So team TII song is in all types. Management really want to push them

 

^I don't really have a problem with that since it's their first single as a team since they got promoted!

 

that's just the same for everyone who knows Neru, including Aki-P of course. or is this the word of the minute in Kyushu?

 

Meru in the last row...
Ouch

So much for the 2nd Jurina.

Those covers are ugly af. Hope the songs are good.

 

the covers are fine. Not the best but not the worst.

Nothing will be as bad as NMB's BwI covers. THAT was abomination. + AKB's Bokutachi wa.
