「Eien Pressure」 might be the name of this single.

Janken Single title is 'Eien Pressure' (Forever Pressure)

[SomethingWild]

Big pressure for Paruru indeed! Looking back at AKB48's sales history the "janken single" always sells less than the "cool autumn single."

Beginner: 813,320 --> Chance no Junban:　588,669　
Kaze ga Fuiteiru: 1,276,694 --> Ue Kara Mariko: 1,143,062
UZA: 1,128696 --> Eien Pressure: ???

In other words, if this single doesn't break a million people may blame Paruru for it which might affect her "future ace" image.

You can also make the cover into a house:

3. Sakura no Hanabira (Maeda Atsuko solo ver.)

  The single is saved! Will she even be in that PV herself?!
Looking forward to the First Rabbit video. Team B Oshi could be cool, if they use the original line-up for the song and not make it too tacky.

Every single time they come up with new ideas to make the single more appealing.
Paruru may be Aki-P's fav, but he must not have complete faith in her if he calls upon SKE48, NMB48 AND HKT48

Type D: 03. TBA

Nice move there by Aki-P, getting the sister groups' wotas to jump into the fray. Might even be the best-selling janken single if they (SKE/NMB/HKT wotas) decide to turn this into some competition of sorts. 

In other words, if this single doesn't break a million people may blame Paruru for it which might affect her "future ace" image. 

Now they're probably just going to blame the sister groups for this.

I was already gonna order this single because Maria (also Kanon and Kasusu) was in janken senbatsu but then they added in SKE, NMB and HKT and how the heck can I not order all versions?? 6 w 9

[boykun]

I quite like type A's cover. The other two... not so much.

Sakura no Hanabira PV should be a pretty awesome montage, lol. Team B Oshi gonna be fun.

Weird to include sister group songs.

[RenX]

-) Love the covers, finally they made something that is at least more elaborate than Gingham Check & UZA covers.

-) Really looking forward to the Sakura no Hanabira PV. I bet she is featured solo in that PV which is simply beautiful or maybe -and I think this is much more interesting- she will be featured completely through archival footage of her years in AKB48 or maybe other things related to her.

-) The inclusion of sister groups is kinda weird really, an obvious attempt to increase the sales.

By the way...

Type A - SKE48
Type B - NMB48
Type C - HKT48
Type D - JKT48???

lol It's possible I think

According to the CD Japan listings, the first press editions come with *TWO* photos, including one of an SKE/NMB/HKT member depending on which version. This is in addition to the CD Japan bonus photo, so you get THREE photos with these.

Who has two thumbs and is buying Type C for the HKT48 goodies?  This guy!
