Yui is pretty much taking Jo's place in Senbatsu, that works for me.
Also, Fuuchan is back
Haruna is out and ... that's the only changes in the lineup from last time.
Kitagawa Kenji, born in Aug 11, 1979, is a producer and President of North River. The person who’s in charge of AKB’s video visual.
So the HUGE IMPACT is that the song's about a real person? Here's his Google+ account:

It's always fun to see what unusual element they throw into the dance routine, and the going under the legs bit was pretty cool.
And, of course, the girls all look beautiful.
