Author Topic: [Poll] Best Sub-Unit Release in 2011 (Read 6214 times)

SomethingWild · « **on:** December 13, 2011, 04:11:27 PM »

2011 marked the birth of many new units: Not yet, Team Z, Ojarumaru Sisters, DiVa and Baby Gamba!
Furthermore, we had Itano Tomomi and Maeda Atsuko's solo debuts

Together they were good for a whopping 24 releases. If you combine that with the single releases from the main groups we are talking 38 releases this year. That's more than one AKB48 related single release every 1.36 weeks

You know the drill, pick 5 your favorites!

LOL, I'm the first person to vote and I completely screwed it up! I didn't read it properly and just voted for 1 instead of 5

Is there a way to change it?

Anyway, my vote went for Naminori Kakigori. 3 main reasons. First, the 4 girls that make up that sub-unit are some of my favourites in AKB. I totally love them

Second, I think the tune is great. It's a real feel good tune. I can't fully explain why but it just makes me happy when I hear it

And lastly, the PV is pretty awesome too. It has a real 'summer' feel to it and I always like PV's like that.

It actually wasn't as hard as I thought picking my favourite. If I had voted for 5 though, the other 4 would have been:

Tsuki no Uragawa
Hetappi Wink
Perapera Perao
Kibou Sanmyaku

Not yet - Shuumatsu Not yet
Itano Tomomi - Fui ni
Itano Tomomi - Dear J
Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 - Kibou Sanmyaku
Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 - Valentine Kiss

Not yet came out strong with a groovy debut single, but following singles were not quite as impressive. Tomochin's solo singles were different from the other sub-units and had a really nice sound that suited her image. Mayuyu and friends had a good closer single for the year with a Kayokyoku inspired song. Also can't go wrong with a cover of a good song.

French Kiss - If: I love the outfits and theme for this release. I've had the 'If' poster up all year and it never failed to give me a warm feeling.

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 – Valentine Kiss: Among my top favorite releases of the year. The song is catchy, I love the outfits, the PV is cute, Wasamin and Komori have cool lines. Great, great, great.

Maeda Atsuko - Flower: I especially dig the coupling songs. Girl pop/rock with Acchan's soothing voice works really well. Looking forward for more Acchan solo releases in the future for sure.

Not Yet – Naminori Kakigoori: Happy feel good summer song. Cute PV and I the line-distribution is excellent.

French Kiss – Saisho no Mail: Classic French Kiss sound and a solid single all around (despite that one auto-tune song :/ )

I only really fully enjoyed two releases under this list to be honest:

Tomomi Itano - Fui Ni
- great single, fresh move even further away (similar to Dear J) from the Idol music AKB/Tomochin is known for.

Maeda Atsuko - Flower
- decent A-Side, but i gotta give more credit to La Brea Ave., great b-side that complements the mid-paced Flower really well. and guitars.
