It's been decided that 25th of November is Ochi's last show as JKT48 member

Was there ever a "full" PV for Sugar Rush? These two clearly contain different scenes, so I was wondering.

and

I've been waiting forever for the entire PV

Takamina is sooo cute in it

^ To my knowledge, a full PV hasn't been released yet. Maybe it'll be included in the next single after Eien Pressure, or the single around the time Wreck-It Ralph (aka Sugar Rush in Japan) is in theaters.
