I know she wasn't in the RIVER perf. But the reasons are still rumors. Aren't they? Plus, the single was recorded long ago, much before the alleged Erena issue. Would the dare to freeze the activities of one of the popular members? I don't think that would be smart from the management, really.

And even so, I can't still believe Kasai or Miichan would be out. Because... They have never been out of senbas. ^^;

Then again, if Miichan or Tomo~mi aren't in senbatsu, the management might go with "They're in Team YJ and so it's ok if they're not in senbatsu".

Ah I thought to myself "WTH is Erepyon?" when I didn't see Erepyon in that River perf. Yeah, the reasons are rumours anyway.

nah the pv filming and such coincides with erena starting to no appear in things actually

The rumors were true, sadly.

(some images appeared in i don't know what show and the mentioned girls were not among the selected ones).

But sae was chosen and she's also in the PB team...

(I'm not complaining for this, anyways)

jafeijai · « **Reply #24 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:40:46 PM »

^ In that case, maybe Miichan and Tomo~mi weren't chosen this time around to give a chance for the girls they seem to be pushing more lately (i.e. Akicha).

^nope it looks like senbatsu this time is just smaller

The song is certainly ~~lame~~ "pretty" but... It is not AKB...

Vienna ~~Boys'~~ Choir, anyone?

THE.MOST.BORING.SONG.EVER.

Best lullaby ever!

I guess I'll probably be the only one that likes this -__-"

^ At this rate, it seems that way.

Though I like the background and the overall feel for it, the song itself...

^I like that song.

Yep, maybe that's kinda a boring song... but I like a song like this, a very beautiful song.

Maybe AkiP want to draw attention fans from outside AKB48, because I think 80% AKB48 fans will buy this single.

I hope the PV will be unique and beautiful too.

I don't hate it.. I could listen to this.

Team PB's song ftw though

That's what I say... it is boring but it's cute anyways. It is not my type but I can understand why others like it. So I can live with it ^^;

I'll pin my hopes in Majisuka Rock and Roll now

Smaller number of senbatsu + choir type song = I'm confused.

I'm thinking we're missing something here.

Ok, I'll try to explain how this song works.

The senbatsu members are less than in the previous single (11 if I'm not wrong), that means 11 girls are featured, they will be always in the front row and will probably go to TV shows. They are "the visible face" of the single. It's as BINGO or Sakura 2008. Lots of girls were there, but just a few got close ups, solo shots, solo lines and so on. That is senbatsu in THIS case.

The non-senbatsu members will be at back, will probably get random shots in the PV and won't really be song flagships.

If you see the AKBINGO video, the senbatsu girls have different clothes and the camera focus on them. The other ones are... chopped liver.

Melchizadek · « **Reply #36 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:55:34 PM »

Oh yeah. I do remember reading somewhere that it was going to be like SnH 08 and BINGO, in that it actually had all the girls in it.

I must have had a brain fart when I was reading this thread. I blame it on the fact that I have to leave for work in a few minutes, and I really don't want to go in today.

Wow this suprised me. This is something totally new, but I like in for some reasons. Nice melody and great ambiente

Masa · « **Reply #39 on:** January 06, 2010, 11:50:07 PM »

I guess that's the senbatsu?
