AKB48 28th Single [Kakkoii] Announced Today, at the end of the first day of AKB48 in TOKYO DOME ~1830m of Dreams~, the live that the group has long desired, it was announced that AKB48 will be releasing their next single on October 31st, 2012.http://tower.jp/article/news/2012/08/24/n07Following Gingham Check, this will be AKB48's 28th single. The new single, titled [Kakkoii] (meaning "Cool"), will be of the same style and image of past singles like RIVER, Beginner, and Kaze wa Fuiteiru, and at the same time pushing the frontiers of AKB's music.The single will come in Type A, Type B and Type C, all three sharing the same title track and a common coupling song, and one more song that will be different for each type. Including off-vocal versions, each type will have 6 tracks, and a DVD included that will contain music videos for the 3 songs and a bonus video.As usual, each copy of the first press limited edition will come with 1 of 2 handshake event tickets, and the regular edition will come with a random photo. In addition, both limited and regular additions will come with a voting ticket for Request Hour Set List Best 100 2013 for a limited time period.
I think under-performing sales for the 27th Single - "Gingham Check" may have factored into AKS/KingRecords going for a Type C - a first for AKB48 single.
The new single, titled [Kakkoii] (meaning "Cool"), will be of the same style and image of past singles like RIVER, Beginner, and Kaze wa Fuiteiru, and at the same time pushing the frontiers of AKB's music.
