[2010.02.17] AKB48 - 15th Single - Sakura no Shiori

[Sayange]

^ Thanx for that.

Oh no! The more I listen to the song, the more I like it!

[Datalanche]

Okay, I just listened to the song for the first time. All I can say is, what in the world was that?

But... it's not bad. In fact, I actually like it a LOT... but seriously, where did that come from? Anyway, it's a really beautiful song and the departure from the AKB48 normal sound is refreshing and we have the PB/YJ songs anyway. I'll be buying this. Although the covers are pretty bland. I'm not sure which I'll buy. Depends on how the wallet feels next month. If I have to pick one, I'll likely get the B type.

[xyish]

This PV... is beautiful.

[kahmshi]

Whao,everyone seems so enthousiastic about the pv! can't wait to see it!! ^^

PV preview from AKBINGO:

[sakurasi]

............................

 I like a song like this, a very beautiful song.  

..................................
I hope the PV will be unique and beautiful too.  

My hopes were answered.  

Nice directing from this PV, nice angle, and not awkward.

I like to see how the unique expression from the girls.  

Lol.. it's more likes movie than a PV.

[maliciel]

That PV was..different.

It sort of played out like one of those tourism ads you see on TV. I like the filtered look of the PV, especially compared to some of the other PVs that were more vivid and bright. And I think it suited the song pretty well. Needless to say all of them looked great. Although I must admit the wings sort of creeped me out a bit, for some reason..

And Yuka got a cameo! So it's a win PV right there. Oh but, what were all those LBS48 and ASKS48 labels? Is it just locations (ie ASKS = Asakusa)?

[jafeijai]

^ I'm assuming they were the locations.
ASKS = ASaKuSa
UEN = UENo
SBY = ShiBuYa
SNGW = ShiNaGaWa
I have no idea what LBS stands for though.

But anyways, I agree with mal: the girls looked great. Still not feeling the wings combined with the hakama, but hey, whatever works. Awesome PV overall.

And I think Kitarie somehow managed to get more screentime in that clip than Acchan!

[atskv9]

I agree that those are locations. ASKS definitely looked like Asakusa as did SBY looking like Shibuya. Lol, I searched around looking for the districts of Tokyo but couldn't find anything for LBS. LBS is when they are on the bus (I guess).

Anyway, I liked the PV a lot as well. This was made really well. Started getting a little teary myself Damn the girls were looking so pretty!

[maliciel]

Probably means LongBuS or something

jaf raises a good point, there was barely any focus on anyone. I don't even remember seeing Yuko.

[Sayange]

Oh my, when I saw the LBS, I could only think of lesbians  

[atskv9]

jaf raises a good point, there was barely any focus on anyone. I don't even remember seeing Yuko.

Pay more attention to Yuko! I remember her being cute for a split second and then she might've been doing something silly later on, some sort of dance. I also remember a lot of Mikapon and Kitarie.

[maliciel]

Ok, maybe that was exaggeration on my part, but the Yuko parts were still few and far between. But no matter, Fujie Reina got a shot in, too.

[xyish]

I have no idea what LBS stands for though.

Location bus

And I think Kitarie somehow managed to get more screentime in that clip than Acchan!

I counted 12 appearances for Kitarie all with clear shots of her face, and 8 for Acchan INCLUDING one shot where the camera seemed to follow her back as she turned (no face).

[maliciel]

So I took some time to record down all the sightings in the PV. Keep in mind the numbers for the new girls are possibly wrong because this is like the very first time I'm even seeing most of them. Basically, if the girl was in a frame, she'd be on this list, even if she was a little out of focus. Which probably accounts for some discrepancies between some other people's counts.

OMG KITARIE IS THE NEW AKB ACE

[EreMyao]

Thank you for your statistic. 

Well, we all can easily notice that Riechan has much more screentimes than others. 

Perhaps Shunji is attracted to Riechan. 

Lesbians is what comes to my mind when I first saw LBS. 

I really like the camera motion of this PV. Shunji is awesome. 

[ichijoujirena]

I'm pretty sure I saw the back of Uchida Mayumi once. 

That's all I need!

[jafeijai]

I remember her being cute for a split second and then she might've been doing something silly later on, some sort of dance.

[Datalanche]

I 100% support Kitarie taking over as frontgirl for AKB48 PV's. A new era has arrived.

[Masa]

IMO the PV is pretty damn boring but it does have a couple of awesome scenes:

Girlbonding

So I took some time to record down all the sightings in the PV. Keep in mind the numbers for the new girls are possibly wrong because this is like the very first time I'm even seeing most of them. Basically, if the girl was in a frame, she'd be on this list, even if she was a little out of focus. Which probably accounts for some discrepancies between some other people's counts.

GJ, you crazy fanboy!

OMG KITARIE IS THE NEW AKB ACE

Just wait until we get the full version. I wouldn't be surprised if it had like Acchan giving an epic 10 minute long graduation speech
