Do you think it's going to be another Sakura single or perhaps something like "GIVE ME FIVE"?

3 Types (A/B/C) in both regular and limited editions. National hs event tickets in the limited ones, bonus picture in the regular ones. Confirmed to be a sakura song again. According to what Aki-p said in a radio show last week, the song is more about themed around friendship than graduations. whatever, it's all the same thing anyway.

Expected Senbatsu from a possible PV recording:

A(4): Watanabe Ma · Takahashi M · Shinoda · Yokoyama
K(4): Oshima Y · Matsui J · Itano · Kitahara
B(5): Shimazaki · Kashiwagi · Kojima H · Minegishi · Watanabe Mi

^Yokoyama is awesome. She's top 16 anyway and she's only going up. It's no surprise she's there. In fact, she should be included.

From an objective perspective Paru and Milky have the least right to take Kasai's spot, but yeah, it makes sense. It's the way it goes. I'm not even surprised or annoyed by it anymore  :nervous. Personally I would have preferred Kasai over Kitahara, but all the transfered members need their momentum to keep them popular so their (Rie, Yui, Milky) inclusion makes sense too.

Actually, I'm quite happy if that's the senbatsu. A lot of great members.

*this is still a rumor*

The title of this single will be Saigo no Jugyou (Last Lesson). It will feature double center, Watanabe Mayu & Shimazaki Haruka and it will be performed at the Request Hour this year. Other members in the front include Takahashi Minami, Oshima Yuko & Matsui Jurina.

Do you think it's going to be another Sakura single or perhaps something like "GIVE ME FIVE"?

I really hope this single would sound like GM5 because that single rocks and so cool but I don't think Mayu & Paruru are suitable as fronts in singles like GM5, so I think most likely it will be a Sakura single like Sakura no Shiori or Sakura Ki ni Narou.

Really looking forward to this single since it never lets me down.

3.You're going to step into that dog poop there? (Team B)

Yeah, think I'll stick with the non-translated title for that one (which is what everyone does anyways), "Sokode inu no unchi fun jau ka ne?"

Similarly I'd call the Oshima Team K song "Yuuhi Marie". The three other titles are actually in English... which is a lot...

Anyway, nice to see that the Sugar Rush MV will appear somewhere.

(Don't like the song in the clip though... it's... well, just boring....)

Paruru is the 23rd rank in senbatsu election but i am so surprised that Paruru is going to be center with Mayu for this next single...
Paruru probably has more fans than before... so she probably be the 17th rank or higher than this rank for next senbatsu election.... dont you think?
And i am sad that my kami-oshi is not there...  :pleeease:

I am not certain whether these numbers from 2ch are accurate, but ''So long!'' is up on ''Eien Pressure'' in terms of ''handshake block/sales(?)" for AKB, NMB and HKT.  But down on SKE which affects the total. 

We'll soon see whether this holds true when sales numbers are revealed on February 20th.

What does "handshake block/sales" meant?

I assume that's total number of sold out handshake blocks. For handshake events, the day is broken up into blocks/slots, which are an hour or an hour and a half long. When you buy a ticket, you buy a ticket for a particular member in a particular block. The booking website lists which girls are sold out in each block - so people compile this information. For AKB48 singles, girls from all the sister groups are available to book, which is why there is the breakdown as posted above.

AKB48 will release a three-part drama special entitled [So long!].
The drama will air on three consecutive nights, 11-13. February 2013 on NTV. Each part will feature one of the three teams and last one hour.


The Team A episode will focus on Watanabe Mayu and Shinoda Mariko in a ballerina high school.

(http://i.imgur.com/c6YTS.png)

The Team K episode is a tale of rivalry between Oshima Yuko and Matsui Jurina.

The Team B episode is set in a school, with the theme being around graduation, focussing on Shimazaki Haruka as a student and Kojima Haruna as a teacher.

I'm really liking this song, especially considering its a ballad.  It has a very pleasant melody.  I hope they make a really beautiful PV for this, like Sakura no Shiori level, and I can see myself really loving this release.

Possible covers(?) floating around

Simple but nice concept that screams "Fresh!" :w00t:

The pics are small but I'm sure that is upside-down Yuko on the left in the first pic. I'm guessing the girls whose faces can't be seen in the first and second pics are Sayanee and Mayuyu respectively. That’s the most sports-allergic Mayuyu can go hanging over a pole anyway :lol:

^ Beaten to it by YKT while I was still typing this! XD Anyway, here's the news excerpt and what I could understand from it.

News from Oricon Style:

Quote
AKB48桜ソングMVは大林宣彦監督の64分劇映画 新センターはまゆゆ
 人気アイドルグループ・AKB48が24日、渡辺麻友(18)が初センターの新曲「So long!」(2月20日発売)のミュージックビデオをファンにお披露目した。東京ドームシティホールで行われた“楽曲総選挙”イベント『AKB48 リクエストアワーセットリストベスト100 2013』の初日公演の本編終了直後に公開された。映画監督の大林宣彦(75)が手がけたMVは、AKB史上最長となる64分の劇映画となった。

 AKB恒例の桜ソング第6弾、通算30作目の節目を飾る新曲のMVは、新潟・中越高校が舞台。女優になることを夢見る夢(渡辺)は、東日本大震災で被災し福島・南相馬から転校してきた未来(松井珠理奈)に出会う。未来は夢をはじめ、中越地震を乗り越えて長岡で暮らすクラスメイト、鯉屋の娘・あゆ(島崎遥香)、団子屋の娘・栞(大島優子)、花火師の娘・そら(高橋みなみ)、造酒屋の娘・あかり(板野友美)、パソコンが得意な季衣(柏木由紀)らと触れ、ある決断をする。

 撮影は昨年11月に新潟で行われ、初日はヒョウが降り、水着で露天風呂に入るシーンは気温2度の寒空の下で敢行。メンバーは気合で演じきり、なかでも、まゆゆと珠理奈は長台詞も持ち前の集中力で乗り切った。

 大林監督は「僕はもう、彼女たちのひいお爺ちゃんかもしれない」と話しつつも「AKBの諸君と仕事することが楽しくて、アイディアがどんどん沸いてきてね、なんと64分の劇映画を作ってしまいました!」と自信たっぷり。自身がメガホンをとった意義について「若い人たちに、ひいお爺ちゃんの体験したこと、学んだことの全てを伝えれば、彼女たちがまたそこから新しい未来を作ってくれる力になるだろう」と期待を込めた。

 MVとともに今作のジャケットも解禁。まゆゆをセンターに、珠理奈と前作「永遠プレッシャー」(昨年12月発売)で初センターを務めたじゃんけん女王・島崎が両脇を固めた。

- The full PV will be 64 minutes long, making it AKB48's longest PV to date.
- Mayuyu is center.
- Mayu's character meets Jurina's character (named Mirai) who is from Fukushima. Jurina transferred to Mayu's high school after the great earthquake.
- In the story, Mayu's dream is to be an actress. Takamina is the daughter of a fireworks master. (Please make a fireworks display that spells "Takahashi Japan" :lol:)
- The PV is set in a high school in Niigata.
- Filming took place in November 2012.
- It snowed on the first day of filming. Members had to wear swimsuits in 2°Celsius near freezing temperature for the shoot. Nevertheless, Mayu and Jurina were able to smoothly complete the scenes where they had long dialogue exchanges.

Shiso translated the Oricon report (http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/confidence/2020979/full/)

Quote
On the first day of “AKB48 Request Hour Set List Best 100 2013” held at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL on January 24th, the MV for AKB48’s upcoming 30th single “So long!” (to be released on February 20th) was revealed. It was announced that the MV was directed by a film director Obayashi Nobuhiko.

“So long!” is AKB48’s 6th “Sakura” song, and Watanabe Mayu will be the center for the first time.

The MV that was revealed at the event was the short version that was 6 minutes long, however, there will also be a 64-minute long version which is the longest MV ever for the group.

The MV takes place at Chuetsu high school in Niigata.

“Yume” (Watanabe Mayu), who has a dream to be an actress, encounters “Mirai” (Matsui Jurina) who transfers to the school from Minamisoma, Fukushima, after she suffered from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. “Mirai”, “Yume”, and other classmates, such as, “Ayu” (Shimazaki Haruka), the daughter of a carp shop, “Shiori” (Oshima Yuko), the daughter of a dumpling store, “Sora” (Takahashi Minami), the daughter of a pyrotechnist, “Akari” (Itano Tomomi), the daughter of a sake brewer, and “Kii” (Kashiwagi Yuki) who is good at using computer,  strengthen their friendship; and after “Mirai” spends time with them, who have all been through the Chuetsu earthquake, it leads her to make a certain decision…

Before the encore, the director, Obayashi, appeared via a video message, and he revealed his thought, “I could be a great grandfather for the girls, so I was wondering why I was working with AKB at first.” He continued, “It was so much fun to work with the AKB folks, and it brought me so many ideas, thus, I ended up making a 64-minute long film drama! I’m sure if I, the great grandfather, could tell everything that I have experienced and learned from those young people, it would be of the power for the girls to create their new future from here. In that sense, this could be a letter from the past to the future.”

Along with the members, singer Mickey Curtis and actor Takashima Masahiro also make appearances in the MV.

The 64-minute version MV will be included in a DVD that will come with the single.''

It's official, So long! has cracked 1 million:

http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/rankmusic/2022043/full/ (http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/rankmusic/2022043/full/)

Currently standing at 1.036 million.

Tokyohive translated the above article:

Quote
Popular idol group AKB48’s 30th single “So long!” (released on February 20th) sold 1,036,000 copies in its first week, and topped the Oricon weekly single ranking for the week of March 4th.

This marked AKB48’s 17 consecutive chart topping single since “RIVER” (released in October 2009), and they have extended their own records for “the number of consecutive chart topping singles” and “total number of chart topping singles”. Moreover, this is their 11 consecutive single (and 12th single overall) to sell over a million copies since “Sakura no Ki ni Narou” (released in February 2011). Among those singles that sold over a million copies, 10 of them achieved the million mark during just the first week.

This accomplishment of 10 singles selling over one million copies in the first week is even more impressive considering that since Oricon’s single ranking started back in 1968, there has only been three singles besides AKB48 that sold over a million copies during the first week. These are, “Namonaki Uta” (Mr.Children in 1996),  ”Dango 3 Kyoudai” (Hayami Kentaro, Shigemori Ayumi, and more in 1999), and “Addicted To You” (Utada Hikaru in 1999). Additionally, there has been no artist other than AKB48 who has achieved it with more than one single.

Watanabe Mayu commented, “I was informed that ‘So long!’ that I served as the center for the first time reached a million copies, and we were the only one to accomplish the record of ‘having 10 consecutive single that sold over a million copies in the first week.’ I am happy from the bottom of my heart, and I’m full of gratitude toward the fans who have always been cheering for us, and the staff members who always support us.”
