Mix in their 0to1 album and christmas. We finally know AKB fans' pockets are not bottomless.
Still. 900k with 29 consecutive No.1 singles. Still
Friggin' Crazy.
I actually thought the songs in this were some of the better ones in these past few singles. Been listening to Yasashii place on repeat a lot.
