Regular editions can be found at aforementioned site.

I think under-performing sales for the 27th Single - "Gingham Check" may have factored into AKS/KingRecords going for a Type C  - a first for AKB48 single.

Source : http://tower.jp/article/news/2012/08/24/n07 (http://tower.jp/article/news/2012/08/24/n07)

About the title, don't you guys think that this is gonna be different from the usual October singles since RIVER?
I hope they maintain the same dark theme of an October single.

AKB48 28th Single [Kakkoii] Announced

Today, at the end of the first day of AKB48 in TOKYO DOME ~1830m of Dreams~, the live that the group has long desired, it was announced that AKB48 will be releasing their next single on October 31st, 2012.

http://tower.jp/article/news/2012/08/24/n07 (http://tower.jp/article/news/2012/08/24/n07)

Following Gingham Check, this will be AKB48's 28th single. The new single, titled [Kakkoii] (meaning "Cool"), will be of the same style and image of past singles like RIVER, Beginner, and Kaze wa Fuiteiru, and at the same time pushing the frontiers of AKB's music.

The single will come in Type A, Type B and Type C, all three sharing the same title track and a common coupling song, and one more song that will be different for each type. Including off-vocal versions, each type will have 6 tracks, and a DVD included that will contain music videos for the 3 songs and a bonus video.

As usual, each copy of the first press limited edition will come with 1 of 2 handshake event tickets, and the regular edition will come with a random photo. In addition, both limited and regular additions will come with a voting ticket for Request Hour Set List Best 100 2013 for a limited time period.

Didn't they realize that they dug their own grave by making the album and 27th single have time periods to pre-order(theater edition) too close?

It looks like they're trying to spread the popular members across the groups, instead of having them packed into A/K primarily. It really won't affect senbatsu selection or anything like that, most likely. We could see the loanees (Anna with AKB, Yui with NMB, etc) in the singles, though, which would be boss.

Wait, KazeFui was supposed to be a cool song pushing the frontiers of AKB's music? I didn't really pick up on that  :lol:

Hoping for Beginner Pt 2.  :thumbup

That's such b/s. No Umechan either. Aki-P always says the senbatsu is selected based on the image of the single, but I think I even saw Sakura-chan in there for this performance. Stupid unfair popularity contest.


Secondly, auto-tune and male dancers?! Why do they do the dance break and not AKB48? It doesn't even make sense.
The song sucks, but all the members look super epic  :inlove: So yeah, won't buy but will collect pics.  :lol:

I am wondering if, based on the double Team K center and the "competition" between the potential new centers if we're looking at 3 versions.

Team A ver - Mayu/Takamina (possibly - could be another new Team A member, but not sure who)
Team K ver - Jurina/Yuko
Team B ver - Paruru/Yukirin

Each single would have a different version perhaps.

I remember reading somewhere on Google+ where some of the members mentioned how difficult it was (I think).
Other than the male backup dancers, I notice that Jurina gets shared center, and Paruru is center for the next single.
Mayu is already up there, so she doesn't need too much promotion. I SEE YOUR PLAN, AKI-P!

Post by: nori on September 18, 2012, 05:11:33 PM
My first impressions of the new song is that I like it since the center pairing has the 2 best dancers from the group (in my humble opinion) and one of them is Jurina :twothumbs
 The dancing was insane good and production of the performance was awesome but I can't wait to hear it performed live on a TV programme since that would remove that strange interruption during the middle of the song, however awesome it was, and it would give a better idea of what the studio audio is like since it would be a smaller audience.
I have to admit I am a little disappointed that not a single member of DiVA since this sort of song is right up their street I can understand why Sae wasn't included, with the uncertainty of going to China, but I really wanted to see Sayaka or Ume-chan in there, especially Ume-chan and her awesome dancing.
However I think I'm going to be keeping an eye on Paruru in this single since most of the top members have been able to pull off the dark image as well as having the more generic idol image, I don't think she's had the chance to show that until now.

On another note the outfits are cool and Saya-nee with short hair :w00t:
Also who is on the far left when the 4 members are dancing with the guys? I could see Yuko, Takamina and Saya-nee but there was one more

Thanks, but I wonder if one of them was meant to be Jurina, before she got injured recently, since they don't cut across to that member at all whilst you got at least one close up of the other 3, that makes it even worse if it was always going to be Miichan performing in that sequence...

I hear alot of people didn't like the new single, and yeah sure it is autotuned pretty hard but I don't really mind stuff like that. My favorite AKB songs are River and Beginner, and the "darker" sound of UZA fits along with them, although it has abit more disco/club feeling.

I am also expecting some Miyawaki Sakura in the upcoming PV, because she was invited onstage.  :thumbup

I really like how UZA sounds and I was hoping for a double center but I didn't expect it to be Jurina. Not bad though I like it.

But I can't take the head bobbing seriously lol also random dance break, hope that's not very often and dnw those backup dancers.

So I found another one!  :twothumbs
AKB48 - 「UZA」 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8EF2Mqz67o#ws)

Don't really like the song; personally I still like Beginner & River a lot more. I certainly appreciate the fact that they are trying to up their dance move nonetheless.
They should try to be more creative with the senbatsu thou.

My first impressions of the new song is that I like it since the center pairing has the 2 best dancers from the group (in my humble opinion) and one of them is Jurina

I highly disagree. Just look at the auditions for The Wiz, both the semis and finals.

I have to admit I am a little disappointed that not a single member of DiVA since this sort of song is right up their street I can understand why Sae wasn't included, with the uncertainty of going to China, but I really wanted to see Sayaka or Ume-chan in there, especially Ume-chan and her awesome dancing.

THIS.

However I think I'm going to be keeping an eye on Paruru in this single since most of the top members have been able to pull off the dark image as well as having the more generic idol image, I don't think she's had the chance to show that until now.

Considering her attempts at dark in MG... :lol:

Sorry wrong use of words I meant they are in the top tier of dancers within the group and I do agree with girls from the audition also being in the top tier, Ume-chan would be a good example since I already said she was a good dancer.

True but MG is scripted so she gets the benefit of the doubt and a 2nd chance. She also has a proper outfit in the single, that prison uniform would make anyone look bland XD

Personally, I love the song. It seems pretty polarizing in the fandom from what I've seen though - people either love it or hate it. Not much in between.

I for one, welcome our new Team K leaders.

Wow, pretty polarized opinions so far. My opinion can best be summarized by Homer Simpson: "WOOHOO!"

I fucking LOVE it. It's catchy, it's energetic, it's like RIVER and Beginner fused together and got an electronic power up. This is the kind of song I was hoping they'd do next. Something with some kick, and this song definitely kicks. My only gripe is I don't get why we need some bozos to come in for the dance break. AKB has plenty of epic performers, let them do it. Other than that, this is solid. Jurina being half of the "center" is also interesting. I was also surprised to see Miyawaki Sakura. She's senbatsu for this single? Pretty awesome if that's the case.

Yeah can I just have all copies please. *opens up CD Japan, throws credit cards at screen*

Agree with Jurina being top tier, (if the poor girl wouldn't injure herself so much... :() and if she continues to learn she has the potential to become even better.
I'm conflicted about where to put Yuko. It's a slight conundrum here of talent and training. Girls like Yuko, Kojiharu, and Mariko have shown themselves to have the talent, but because their training is dependent on the dances they learn for various performances, sometimes there's just a visible difference in how they execute a moved, based on how they saw the instructor do it, as compared to the girls with dance backgrounds, who would know a move from the style it came from and execute it as such.
But it's been long enough that most all of senbatsu, even the ones who came in with zero dance experience, have acquired enough skill to be at least comparable to lesser Kpop groups. Takamina went from being notoriously bad at dancing to doing the break here, (Lol, what is it about the Takahashi. They said Aichan was the slowest learner in MM, too.) and Yukirin did great in End Roll. Nonetheless, I still hesitate to put Yuko in top tier, when there are so many formally trained members in the newer gens, SKE, and NMB.

True but MG is scripted so she gets the benefit of the doubt and a 2nd chance. She also has a proper outfit in the single, that prison uniform would make anyone look bland XD

I dunno. Maybe some proper Beginner-esque smoky makeup will help. She should probably grow her hair out, too, because I haven't really seen Yui smolder since she cut hers. (then again, Kanburi in MG S2 just looked teddy-bear-adorable) And I was too distracted by Akicha and glorious Masana forehead to notice Paruru in Nante Bohemian.  :nervous

I've still got this on loop.

I get the feeling the dudes were there just for the Budokan performance; they may have been responsible for the choreography too, but I highly doubt they'd have a significant presence in the PV and/or future performances. The dance break (if they do it in future performances) will probably be filled in by members that weren't able to master the choreography in time for Janken.

Would be awesome if the dance break was really meant for AKB. I was wondering what would happen to the guys in other performances too. To me it seemed they were there to cover up bad dancing :V

At first listen I thought the song was alright, but after a few more, I'm diggin it.

After listening to it again in HD I like it a bit more than I initially did.
In the grand scheme of things I can understand why this single makes sense.
However, slightly butt-hurt about no Kasai + it still not being my style of music = no buy. Aw well.
I saw this and it felt appropriate:

I feel this way, that when a group becomes mainstream, they lose their original essence of when they were less
popular.
On another note, I didn't know you were such a Kasai fan! We can share the pain together  :cry:

Only heard the song in the Janken broadcast, but its not really my thing at all.

Strange that Sakura is in there... but pretty happy for Shimazaki-san. And Yuko sharing the centre spot, hmmm...

Anyway, I'm far more interested in this:

2.次のSeason(アンダーガールズ)

Something like Next Season? Kinda goes with this whole "AKB48 2nd Season" stuff they've been pushing since Acchan graduated. Pushing the new girls. Will be interested to see who they pick and hope its a good song. Of course, the "season" in the title could just mean its another Christmas song...

The New Team PVs will be interesting to see, the first time we get a glimpse of them.

'Tsugi no Season' is performed by the Under Girls so it sure as hell won't feature those girls :P

First of all, I love this song. If someone doesn’t like it, they don’t like it. Whatever. :bigdeal:

Secondly... the person on the left during (or after?) the b-boy part is so hard to tell because of the lack of attention that person got. But her hair bounced together the way it would if your hair was tied, so looking at the members who have their hair tied, I would have to say... :mon dunno: that it might be KojiHaru, but it’s hard for me to see her dancing like that. :mon one: My thought still stands that it’s KojiHaru because her general hair and side bangs were curled like it was when KojiHaru’s bangs came out...

Oh, and is that Sayaka, Yuko, Takamina, and Yui doing that move where they drop to the ground and get back up before the b-boy part? XDD *applause~* :mon fyeah: :on woohoo:

But. The b-boy part threw me off like whoa. But considering it, if they meant to put a b-boy part in so the four who danced with them could stand out, it would make sense for me to have boys dance it. If they were going to close up focus on the girl that is supposed to be dancing or have the girls wear different clothing as background dancers, I might've had other members dance it. I would've found it hard to differentiate the background members from the girls if they were wearing the same type and style of clothing, wouldn't you?

It would be overly awesome if it was meant for other members in AKB. Gawdz, but I consider b-boying relatively difficult. You would need strength and endurance and other such things, so it would take them a while to learn some cool [b-boying] moves, don't you think?

:mon exhaust:

^I'd hesitate to call it Bboy. It's more a mix of Hip Hop dance and Popping if anything.
Man this forum sure goes quickly from hating to loving songs. All for our precious idols I guess?  :nervous
I still don't like the song however.

Like I said before, I'm almost certain it's Miichan. Her hair is tied up the same way and it's black as well.

These pictures are way clearer than I've seen before these. So, you're right. I MUST BE MIICHAN THEN...... Sorry for my... mistake?

To be honest, I was conflicted between KojiHaru and her being another person (I was actually tried to count how many members had their hair tied, and going through the process of elimination but...), but the video I had was at a standard where you could see the video fairly well, but you couldn't see it very clearly. But being unable to see any other video the one I was supplied with (by the time I saw the videos posted here, it was too late. *sigh*), I guess it's normal? Mn? No? Ohwell... (Youku doesn't seem to work with me anymore. I dunno why though. </3)

It's cool  :lol:

I literally just found those online, even though they were still blurry, but I could guess it was Miichan by her body movements  :nervous
Youku is probably the best site for AKB videos in quantity, however the quality is usually not as good as YT's videos and there's the fact that
it's in Chinese, which makes it hard to find the video you want, but for some reason the copyrights don't apply there o.O
So you should take advantage! (Maybe your problem has something to do with Adobe?)

The difference between 1st round and later rounds is you can order only 3 tickets per order in 1st round while you can order as much as you want but no more than 3 tickets of same blocks in later rounds. So the number of sold out block in this round is much more than 1st round.


Based on this result, Mocchi and Suda are in the same rate as AKB/SKE and NMB center  :XD:

^If you pre-order the "UZA" theater edition at chara-ani you can get a handshake event. I think the event is in early February. The above data shows whose handshake tickets have sold out.

This PV looks great judging from those screens. My favorite PV (not song) was actually their recent Gingham Check but this might even surpass that one. Like the actual song UZA better too.

Really looking forward to it..

Just caught a glimpse of the PV on Mezamashi TV... On KeyHoleTV though... I want to watch it in HD.....
Looking good so far... Yuko has close up shots, so do Kojiharu, Takamina and Sayanee...
Didn't notice much close up of others in that short PV though... Got to look out for this Goth Loli! LOL
This PV is going to be awesome!!!
I wonder why its not available anywhere on YouTube.... Copyright Law?

Here's that clip you were talking about

Upon seeing the clip I have to admit that this gothic theme fits real well with the song, though I still think something more slick and modern would have suited the song better but I'm sure I'll totally change my opinion when the full PV is released. :D

Also I didn't notice any one shot of Jurina in the clip in her alternate costume (Yuko as a ballerina) which is a bit strange considering she is one of the two centres :?

Yeah she is in that costume right at the start but other than that nothing, compared to the number of times we saw Yuko in her ballet costume, though I guess it would be more even in the actual PV itself.

Looking at the photos given by YKT (I can't watch the video, of course)... I get the feeling of something similar to a child playing with/showing off their toys... In this case, Jurina(?) and Mayu are the children while the others are the toys. But I'm curious about who the person in the um... glass... cage (in the first pic after Yukirin's screenshots) is? :huhuh :?

Thanks YKT for linking the HQ clips on youtube! I can actually see stuff properly now. I struggle with youku and this quality is great.

I'm really excited for the new PV now. Despite the odd make-up and styling, everyone looks great. I'm really liking the paruru puppet dancing, mayu looks amazing, and I really like that transition from Takamina to Sayanee.

^I kinda have a fear of clowns too. But I'm fine with the jester look. Guess I treat them as two different things.
Yukirin's clown-look (http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee374/kyot777/AKB48/tokuten-19.jpg) from Koko ni ita koto though, I need to muster all my strength just to make bearable... :sweatdrop:

I felt the song, and now the PV too, reminds me of the standard Kpop style. I guess it's always good to try new styles though. And they look pretty good doing it. 8)

Since the UZA PV is directed by Joseph Kahn, allow me to show you the full version

Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet's Back) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M6samPEMpM#ws)

Really, they should have just made I'm crying from A6 a single :lol:




Pretty excited for the PV. It looks good. It looks high quality. It looks like Backstreet's Back, which Joseph Kahn also directed, and was one of my favorite music videos back in the day.

I'll probably buy it. Why not.

Janken is for the 29th single, when Paruru is going to be center.
This single is just picked by Aki-P(I think).

Oh my god. Youku finally worked for me for once after three or so months. This is a miracle. Thank you, youku~... :farofflook:

However, this is entirely unhealthy for me. It's 4:25am right now, and I have school tomorrow. Goddamn, me. :sweatdrop:

Yup the picture of a child and their toys is still in my mind. And now watching it in motion, Yuki looks... scary and funny at the same time. Is this what they were aiming for when they had her as the clown? ; n ;

I'm really liking Joseph Kahn's work with Gingham Check and now, UZA. All the girls look gorgeous in UZA and everything flows so well. Amazing cinematography which screams international-worthy standard. The transitions are smooth and the well-paced editing hits all the right spots. I wish Kahn will direct more of AKB48's future PVs.

My favourite "toy" has got to be Jack-in-the-box Yuki. She's far from elegant or cool and her lifeless jerky movements coupled with the expressionless face may send shivers down some people's spines but I find her oddly fascinating. Plus, MaYuki biasness aside, there's just something very endearing about a cute human girl being so smitten with a creepily emotionless Jester XD

Love the video so much  :D Impressed with Yukirin's eerie performance, the actual production of the whole thing and lots of Jurina  :inlove:
Really hope they keep working with Joseph Kahn since this and Gingham Check were both really good for totally different reasons :twothumbs
I'm still dissapointed about the limp end to the actual song but at least there is still lots of energy in the video at the end, which confuses me as to why the song can't have just as epic an ending :?
Also the gothic look didn't necessarily suit all the members but most pulled it off quite well, though in Yuko's defence who actually thought white lip stick was a good idea  XD

The PV is extraordinary. Super high quality and mega fun to watch. I fucking love it. Same comments for the song. Sounds great. I'm in love with this release, so much so that I might just break my 'one copy per release' rule. This one's worth dropping some extra cash on. :thumbup

Aside from being happy that it's a good release, I'm happy that this particular release is such high quality. It's almost like a statement of "Yeah Acchan's gone for real but we're gonna keep on rockin'."

Wow, that was amazing!!! I love the dark theme of the song since it fits perfectly with autumn. I don't know if it's just me but when listening to the chorus you really get a sad feeling, like you just want to sit in your room, start the song and look outside the window. I can't really explain it xD Anyway, like I said before, the clothes, the make-up and the girls look awesome and I can't even say who was the best, since they all look flawless :heart:

Oh my lord, I really need to either update my laptop or get a new one because a lot of the sites I used to use to AKB videos are not working as well. Vimeo doesn't seem to work for me anymore when it was working just last month (Or rather August, but the October feel hasn't kicked in yet). It was a miracle that Youku worked for me twice today and then after that, nothing. In August, I also found something called YoukuAV which was working for me 100%, and up until recently it hasn't been working at all. I can't download anything on this laptop, and I'm not even sure if YinYueTai is working for me or not, or if the video content was taken down.

But the real question is, is there any other place where I can watch/listen to the UZA MV? :cry:

Look up "UZA" on the Hello Online tracker, there is a 1080p version available I believe, or you could try google
for a direct download, LoL.

I just realized the full PV is already out. So out of the loop atm  :panic:

I'm digging the heavy and intense make-up. Yukirin clown is a bit weird  :lol:
Mayu looks super epic, as do most of the others. I'm a huge sucker for Renaissance dresses and goth-esque make-up.
Sayanee and Yui looked a bit strange at times. Milky got really good exposure in this.
Surpringly, I'm not really feeling J in this at all. Despite being an 'official' center this time, she seems to stand out less than usually.

I'm still butt hurt about Kasai not being in this. I like Paruru and Sakura-chan is the cutest thing since Hello Kitty, but Kasai would have pwned them in a single like this. Aw well, after all these years it's no surprise. It's how the 48 ship flies.

As for the song... It's slowly growing on me. I think it'll be a blast during concerts, but it's not something I'd have on my mp3 player. That being said, I think they pulled off yet another solid single  :thumbup

NINKI ratings

Quote
Singles:

01 555.80 AKB48 - UZA
02 60.10 Yusuke - VIVA! Nossa Nossa
03 55.50 AAA - Niji
04 47.30 Nakayama Yuma - Missing Piece
05 28.50 THE BAWDIES - LEMONADE
06 26.10 Kamiya Hiroshi - Such a beautiful affair
07 25.00 MUCC - MOTHER
08 23.10 Superfly - Force
09 20.40 Shibasaki Kou - My Perfect Blue / Yukuyuku wa
10 20.00 Ebisu Muscats - Meiso Idol

Note 1:

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

^Thanks for posting those videos, YKT! :deco:

My thoughts after spending about an hour watching (and rewatching/spazzing over some):

Team A: OMG I CAN'T EVEN. The video is breathtaking. The girls are gorgeous. The costumes are just wow. The song won me over the first time it was leaked. I love the whole geisha and bitchy catfights concept. I wasn't expecting this so it's definitely a pleasant surprise. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly happened in the PV. Was Mayuyu forced to retire because of some conspiracy within the geisha house? Anyway, my heart skipped a beat when Mayuyu first appeared in the video. So elegantly glorious :inlove: Then my heart almost stopped completely when the doors slid open to reveal a regal Mariko-sama at 1:40. Team A seriously gets the best videos!

Team K: The first few seconds made me think of Show Fight! due to its gritty nature. The song is nice but I was hoping for a harder sound to match the punk-rock feel of the video. My favourite parts of the song are actually the verses which are strangely catchier than the chorus. Overall, decent PV and song but lacks that oomph to blow my mind away.

Team B: Find Team A too sophisticated? Team K too punk? Well, there's always Team B to bring back the good ol' high school vibes! However, I always think that Team B gets cheated out of "special" or "edgier" PVs that Team A and Team K enjoy. Even after the reshuffle, they are still stuck with the cute girls-next-door image. The song is nice but forgettable. I like the grey blazer and red checkered skirt combo though and the hats parade is freaking adorable.

Gingham Check - Takahashi Eiki ver.: If I were drinking water when I pressed 'play' on this video, I would have spit all over my monitor. Mayuyu being the main focus instead of Yuko?! I did a double take to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. *inner Mayuyu fan celebrates* But I so need subs to understand what is going on. Initially, Mayuyu seems bulimic/pregnant/struck by terminal illness then she's suddenly all smiles and sunny after the surprise prepared by the other girls. And at the very end, the focus shifts to Yuko. Dafuq? :lol: Until I watch this with subs, I can't form a proper impression :nervous It still doesn't beat the original version in terms of awesomeness though.

YKT san, arigatou gozaimashita! The back up links worked beautifully!!  :cow:

What a great group of PV's! Impressive!

Team A: 孤独の星空 / Kodoku no Hosizora (Starry Sky of Loneliness)- Beautiful set and the kimono were beatiful. Set remined me of 2007 film with Anna Tsuchiya, called Sakuran.Everyone looked great, Mayu and Mariko outstandingly so, and I enjoyed the the screen time for Juri Takahashi.

Team K: スクラップ& ビルド / Sukurappu & Birudo (Scrap & Build) - Cool set and dance action Tomo & Jurina getting lot of great looks, and nice to see the screen time for Mariya Nagao.

Team B: 正義の味方じゃないヒーロー / Seigi no Mikata Janai Hiro (Not on the side of Justice Hero)- I don't mind when Team B has the more traditional songs like this, although Yuko and Yukirin look a bit out of place as students, most of the girls are high school age. Pararu holds her own with Yukirin, and nice touch for Miyori with the lemon colored beret. Miku Tanabe looked outstanding (she had the long red twin tails)- so nice to see her with a strong visual presence

ギンガムチェック/ Gingham Check - the Eiki Takahashi version- Really heartwarming, beautifully done....I would like to see subs too, but generally it seems that Mayu's character is not in very good shape, and she wishes she could have a time machine, maybe to change the outcome.....anyway the other girls are concerned for Mayu's character, and then the magic begins. Song and PV fit together very well. Pretty amazing how one song has two such great PV's...Gingham Check for me is one of the finest AKB48 songs.

Undergirls - 次のSeason / Tsugi no Season (Next Season)- Yes, yes, yes!! It's been done before (all the little stunts), but this PV did a great job of blending in the fails with the eventual wins into the song, and the kawaii was on full display by all the members. Songs that bring a smile to your face are always appreciated.

Let's watch!

Team A: Kodoku no Hosizora
- Love the style and setting. Great visuals throughout the PV. New Team A is my favorite Team by FAR. Old school quality in Takamina and Mariko and super favorites including Kasai, Yui and Mayu. I don't really care for the song. To some extent it's a more SDN48 sounding "Sakurai Mankai" if that makes sense.

Team K: Sukurappu & Birudo
- First reaction is that the song is way too happy sounding for the dark vibe they created in the opening sequence. Can't go wrong with black/red. Jurina center, yappari. She looks more masculine and adult than ever. Moving Mocchi back to K is a mistake. She was finally starting to blossom on her own. Aw well. The song is pretty nice.

Team B: Seigi no Mikata Janai Hiro
- Classic bells intro. Paru, Yuki, Haruna, Milky... I wonder how this team will turn out. The hierarchy of power needs to be re-defined. lol, Ishida Anna, long time no see!This member line-up is so strange. it's going to take some time getting used to. Ah, Miichan and Umechan too, of course. I dig this type of song, even though AKB48 already has around 100 songs like these. 

Gingham Check - the Eiki Takahashi version-
- Yay, more drama. Mayu confirmed for super ace. Yeah, this PV is less awesome than the original GH, but consider it a bonus!

Undergirls - Tsugi no Season
- Won't load. YYG doesn't work for me.


Even though there aren't any instant classics here, it does show one of the things I like about AKB48: value for money. Most idol units would just have something like this Team B PV, but we are getting six proper PVs with their own theme and styling  :thumbup.

Huge thanks to YKT and segius for the links to the PVs, really appreciate it  :thumbsup

Kodoku no Hoshizora- Team A: Not too sure what the story was meant to be but then again it doesn't really matter since the members all looked really elegant and beautiful, only thing is the actual song seems to be a bit overwhelmed by the PV, even though the song is quite good

Scrap & Build- Team K: Exactly what you would have expected from the old Team K, cool badass outfits, a really intense performance and really happy to see Jurina fit in perfectly. Personally would have wanted the song to be something slightly edgier and dark but this is still my favourite song out of all the B-sides :)

Seigi no Mikata Janai Hero- Team B: I was really looking forward to seeing what this song would be like after hearing the 15s preview but I have to admit I was a little disappointed. That's not to say that the song or PV is bad its just that I feel like I'm listening to two different songs with chorus and the verse

Tsugi no Season- Under Girls: Nice cheerful song and a fun PV to go along with it but not much else to say. Solid song

Gingham Check??? It was a nice PV and it gave the lower ranked members more individual screen times but at the same time I was kind of thinking was it really necessary and are they going to end up with second PV "UZA" (Since Kahn produced it)

     First thought: stunning visuals indeed! Kasai and Yui really stood out to me, they both look awesome in their outfits. The black dress/skirts—not
     so much. Takamina also looked awesome! Anyway, I'm not quite sure what is happening to Mayu, but she looks evil-ish in the PV, LoL. The
     song wasn't bad; it fit the PV, but it feels a little off to me. By the way, is that Paruru I see in the video, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Team K: Sukurappu & Birudo
     What's with the song and the video? o.o The song is way to cheery for the gloomy, black and white, punk looking music video(kind of like
     Baby!Baby!Baby!). All in all, this song wasn't too memorable for me. Heck, I barely remember it now, after only a few hours. Yuko can really
     look tough when she wants to! I felt that Kitarie and Mariyagi were kind of out of place, though.
Team B: Seigi no Mikata Janai Hiro
     Look at those bad grades—Yukirin has the highest, and Paruru is the lowest XD. I agree that the member lineup is weird—it feels like they just
     took everyone left over and bunched them together. It feels like they put the least effort into this PV, not much to say.  :smhid
Gingham Check
     This was interesting! When I first saw the intro, I felt that the PV had so much potential because I could perfectly imagine Gingham Check going
     perfectly with this. However, it was not to be, and I sighed once I saw the Gingham Check dresses. It's not like I really hate it or something, it's
     just that they don't go at all with the feel of the song. It's hyper and energetic, but the dresses totally give the opposite effect. I don't know if
     it's just me, but the choreo seems way less intense than before. There were alot of good points, too, though! I thought Mayuyu in a huge bed
     with loads of stuffed animals and candy/sweets was just too cute(even if it was supposed to be sad/gloomy)! Also, I really liked Sasshi in this,
     she always seems like a loser regular person, like in her 1st Single, and her second one, how she gets the backseat. I'm not quite sure
     what's wrong with Mayuyu, and what they're trying to go for at the end to cheer her up, though  :?

Full thoughts about the PV.

Kodoku no Hoshizora: In my opinion the best team PV in the past 2 years. The setting, the wardrobe, the tone of the PV suits really well with the song. Also the girls looked gorgeous in the PV.

Scrap & Build: Yeah the song doesn't match the tone of the PV that much. It just seems like they're not even brainstorming and just choose on the typical dark and cool setting to give the Team K feel without taking into account how the song is actually like. The girls looked nice though.

Seigi no Mikata Janai Hero: TBH even less effort was put into this than S&B. Just seems like a rehash of Love Jump sorry to say.

Tsugi no Season: I simply just adore this PV. Got me smiling throughout the video and I even had to repeat some parts. The girls were adorable, and Ricchan is quite capable of being an attractive center (also shown in Team A's PV).

Gingham Check Story version: Did not get the story at first and even after reading what it's suppose to be about, there's just something amiss, definitely not as good as GM5 storyline, but overall decent enough. I liked the school setting and shots and that Gingham patterns on the computer, wall/apartment, etc was actually a nice touch. It's alright and I guess it serves its purpose on being totally different compared to Kahn's version.

Cool! Some impressions:

Kodoku no Hoshizora: Man, they never cut anything for Team A, do they? They look like whores but they look amazing. The PV is rich in color and quite stunning. It looks like the movie Sakuran. I'm wondering if it was directed by Ninagawa Mika, who directed Sakuran and Heavy Rotation. I really like what they've done with this one. The song itself I'm still unsure about. Sounds like it should have been for SDN.

Scrap & Build: Like everyone else have been saying, the image doesn't match the song. I do love the new Team K, though. I thought everyone looked pretty good. The "band" I guess was cool, but the part where everyone was getting electrocuted was hilarious. The song isn't very memorable; just your standard AKB style.

Seigi no Mikata Janai Hero: This video was like they forgot to take off a filter on the camera when shooting. Brightness was so blown out it was kind of distracting. Everything else was kind of typical stuff. I find the member line-up kind of weird. The song wasn't too bad, even though it's usual AKBusiness there.

Tsugi no Season: Maaaaaan this PV is so cute, I had to watch it twice. The stuff they were doing has been done many times before, and has been done better. But their reactions after getting it done after all those takes were priceless. So cute. Their names on the performing outfits are weird though lol. Song is... well the song is alright, but the PV is what matters here.

Gingham Check: All I can say is... I'm glad Joseph Kahn's is the original. This version is kind of cute. I didn't like Gingham Check but Kahn's PV saved the song for me. I don't think this version would have. Don't understand why they made another one though.

AKB48’s ‘UZA glasses’ distributed in three cities
by ustar on October 29, 2012 at 2:53 am

To commemorate the release of their new single, “UZA“, AKB48’s “UZA glasses” were distributed in Shibuya (Tokyo), Namba (Osaka), and Sakae (Nagoya) on October 27th.

These glasses were made of paper in the image of Halloween pumpkins, and were distributed to pedestrians by women dressed in Halloween costumes. At first the passersby looked at the women out of curiosity, but when they found out that this was a promotional novelty for AKB48’s new single, they began to gather one after another. The 20,000 “UZA glasses” that were prepared for distribution were gone in the blink of an eye.

^Sakura-tan always manages to steal the spotlight, even when among the top girls. That shows true potential  :thumbup


As far as the sales go, it's a tad lower than expected but a solid result nonetheless. If they want to have a shot at outselling Gingham Check then tomorrow sales need to be close to 129,414...

Aw well, can't complain with 15 consecutive #1 singles and the 8th consecutive single to sell more than a million copies in one week  XD

I just saw the videos of the new teams now so here's my review:

Team A - Kodoku na Hoshizora

Just one word: PERFECT!!!!! The make-up, the costumes and the girls are just flawless. I love how almost every member got a good amount of screen time and I'm more than happy to see so much of Kasai, Shinoda, Takamina, Kikuchi and Mayuyu

Team K - Scrap & Build

A video with a sexy style can never be wrong. I fell in love with Mocchi all over again when I saw her in the beginning. Also a good amount of Tomochin, Yuko and Nagao Mariya (I'm slowly falling in love with this girl too) but a little too much of Jurina for my taste. It's not that I don't like her but I think that it's unfair to the other girls of AKB48, who are never in the spotlight, since SKE48 is already getting enough attention without Jurina appearing in every AKB48 single.

Team B - Seigi no Mikata janai Hero

I think it's a little too plain but the girls are looking cute, especially Yukirin and Harunyan and OMG Umechan :shocked That girl sure got a killer smile

Gingham Check Takahashi Eiki version

I'm still speechless. Everyone was acting so well and the storyline is amazing. I loved how they made Harunyan, Tomochin and Kasai the "rich" girls :P

I think it depends on when you ordered - mine shipped before the release date and I received them on 10/31.

Pride comes before a fall.

I don't see how anybody can complain about "only" selling more than one million copies in one week. Seriously.

I remember when we were ecstatic when 10Nen Zakura broke 100K after a couple of weeks!

Yeah, It's just the worst 1st week sale since NMB48 were included in theatre version HS tickets sales(they did since Ebikatsu), and this single had tons of promotion, national HS event ticket and request hour voting ticket.

But as long as they had 200girls to sell CD with individual handshake ticket which guarantee at least 700k CD sales 1st day, a million sale is pretty easy and we had nothing to worry about..

Keep in mind that besides Acchan being gone, this single lost the handshakes for Sae, Akicha, Harugon and Mariyannu. Plus all 2034554969604 girls that have graduated in the past month.

AKB48 becomes first female group with 20 million CDs sold, 10 million-sellers

Quote
Nov 05,2012 - by tokyograph

(http://i.imgur.com/3A5E8.png)

Last week, AKB48 released their 28th single “UZA,” and Oricon announced today that it sold roughly 1,129,000 copies in its first week. This gives AKB48 their 15th consecutive #1 single, but more importantly, it also marks their 10th million-selling single (9th consecutive). They are the first female artist to achieve 10 million-selling singles, and the first artist to do so in almost 14 years.

AKB48 is only the third artist to achieve 10-million sellers, after B'z (currently with 15) and Mr.Children (currently with 10). In terms of consecutive million-sellers, they were already in second place before this, behind B’z (13) and ahead of Mr.Children (8).

Since their major-label debut in February 2006, AKB48 has released 29 singles (1 digital-only) and 11 albums. In total, the group has now sold approximately 17,597,000 CD singles and 2,703,000 CD albums, for a grand total of 20,300,000 CDs. Among female groups, they have now pulled past SPEED (19,546,000 CDs) to become the #1 all-time top seller.

So while the song has grown on me a lot, it still gets a little noisy for my tastes. (well, after I've spent a lot of time with that one noisy DDR synth) The video, however, is endlessly amazing. So I swapped it out first with Backstreet's Back (come on, it's Joseph Khan) and then SNSD's latest, Flower Power.

I think both turned out pretty sweet. Using a tumblr upload to avoid copyright banhammers. (You can't find anything on Tumblr if you don't already have the link or know the account.  :lol:)

Hope y'all enjoy. I had fun making them.
