French Kiss' 2nd Single "If", will be used as the theme song for anime OVA "Kyo, Koi wo Hajimemasu". Continuing from the 1st single, there will be a special drama made which is set at the same school, as well as a new digital comic version, featuring the members voice acting parts of the manga.

I dig the winter vibes in their outfits  :wub: Makes me feelw arm inside already haha.

^ I agree, so fast
I found this news from Tokyo Graph News

Quote
AKB48 sub-unit French Kiss has announced their second single "If." The song is a collaboration with Kanan Minami's popular shoujo manga series "Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu," which so far has 5 million copies in print over 10 volumes.

The three members of French Kiss will star in an original live-action drama, set at the same high school as the manga but taking place one year before the manga's story. The drama will be included as a DVD with one of the versions of the "If" single, which is scheduled for release on January 19. A different version of the single will instead come with a "digital comic" DVD, which features the members of French Kiss providing voice-overs to images from the manga.

In addition, "If" has been chosen as the theme song for the "Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu" OVA being released on February 25, 2011.

^That full version is much ncier than the short preview (obviously). I was a bit worried, but the song came out quite nice. Almost a bit melo-dramatic at times. It even reminds me a bit of temo demo no namida... not sure why. Maybe the general atmosphere.

Pretty cool stuff, can't wait for the pv/drama.

If lyrics!

Kanji (from uta-net)
Code: [Select]
Ifじゃ始まらない 恋をしているなら
ねえ“もしも”の道で 迷わないで

みんなの中に あなたがいると
いつもと違う 私になるの
友達にさえ話していない
秘密のせいで ぎこちなくなる

飾ることなく 不器用なまま
愛しさと自分と向かい合おう

Ifじゃ始まらない 空想していても
今日と同じ もどかしさ
Ifじゃ始まらない 勇気出してみよう
さあ“もしも”の先に
未来はある
WOW WOW WOW・・・
WOW WOW WOW・・・

どんな言葉で伝えればいい?
振られることに 臆病になる
ドアを開けなきゃ気づかないでしょう?
傷つくことに臆病すぎる

人は誰でも 頭の中で
恥ずかしい結果に怯えるもの

Ifを考えずに やりたいようにやろう
ホントの自分 出せばいい
Ifを考えずに 素直になれた時
そう“もしも”以上に
強くなれる

失敗なんか すぐに忘れる
大切なこととは逃げないこと

Ifじゃ始まらない 恋をしているなら
正解なんて何もない
Ifじゃ始まらない 恋をしているなら
さあ“もしも”の仮説 ポジティブに行け!

WOW WOW WOW・・・
WOW WOW WOW・・・

Romaji + Colour-code

Weekly sales:

*1 67,729 YamaP
*2 67,122 French Kiss
*3 33,884 yuzu

...permission to say cock.  :lol:

Aw well. 67K is MUCH better than any other (regular) sub-unit's single has ever sold. the old record was 39.5K for WH's Seishun no Flag.
They also beat the best total sales for any (regular) sub-unit's single, which was 48K for WH's Gyu.

edit: lol, on the final day, French Kiss sold 23 copies more.

---------------------------

hmmm.... the sales on the oricon site are slightly different.

FK: 2063, which would mean: 67,178
YamaP: 1821, which would mean: 67,566
Which would only be a difference of 388!

maybe I made a typo somewhere.

It seems they stop counting the weekly sales on Sunday (or as soon as the end of YamaP handshake event)

The article about Yamapi got #1 weekly and French kiss got #2 came out even before Monday number report.
