SKE Matsui Jurina, knocking Rena over with an intense “kiss”?!
AKB48 sister group SKE48 present, as a surprise, their new song to be released September 19th during their handshake event they hold in Yokohama (Kanagawa prefecture). The 16 senbatsu members, with at the front line aces Matsui Jurina (15) and Matsui Rena (21), all wearing the blue sailor uniform used for the shooting of the music video, presented the audience with a dynamic and fascinating dance, while the members themselves were displaying striking expressions of maidens soliciting a kiss.
Resounded in the hall clamor of the 12500 fans fainting in agony as, for a finish, the 2 aces “WMatsui” “exchanged a passionate kiss”.
Rena, blushing 「We ended up way closer than I had planned, what happened really…」
Jurina, with a smile 「During practice, Rena would always turn her face away, I’m glad she turn straight toward me for the first time today 」.
About the “kiss scene” and Rena who had closed her eyes, Jurina made the following comment 「I kept my eyes open. I thought she was cute」. In front of Jurina taking up the role of the little devil, Rena appeared cringing.
It was also announced that this new single would be released the same day as the 1st album of the group. AKB48 itself never had an album and cd ranking 1st in the charts on the same day up to date and SKE48 is aiming at achieving this feat.
Rena shared her ambitions on the subject「I would be really happy if we managed. I want cross AKB-san’s expectations (tln : alt -> do more than they think we are capable of), try ourselves to bigger projects, and surprise our fans by pushing our own limits」.
