【AKB48】風{With thanks to RushutuAKB48}

Reminds me of "Nusumareta Kuchibiru" PV... it is so hard to determined who is who!

The song sounds pretty good. I like this kind of songs more than, for eg, Flying Get.

The song and PV are a bit underwhelming... I'm not that excited about it tbh.

However, there is always something nice on an AKB48 single, so I have faith. lol

Actually, I think this PV is really cool.

So far the song sounds good, and the dance is truly awesome, with some Beginner-ish moves...

Moreover, the blowing wind effect does really fit the post-apocalyptic set used for the PV.

About the 'funeral' outfit, for me it looks kinda unique, compared to the usual seifuku or swimsuit pattern used before, especially since it's said that this song has some connection with the recent disaster in Japan...

The PV they showed at Janken is actually just the dance PV, and the real one is still in the making. But both the song and PV kinda suck.

I'll wait for the full normal PV before worrying about that, but the song is pretty alright, and was stuck in my had for a bit

03. Vamos（アンダーガールズばら組）

Screenshots from the recent episode of DEEP PEOPLE, where AkiP sat down and talked with two other music producers (HIRO, Kobayashi Takeshi) about what it meant to be a music producer:

From the looks of it, the following are included in Undergirls Baragumi (Rose Group):
Nagao Mariya
Suzuki Shihori
Nakatsuka Tomomi
Nonaka Misato
Uchida Mayumi
Nakata Chisato
Nakamata Shiori
Nakaya Sayaka
Kobayashi Kana
Suzuki Mariya
Chikano Rina
Tanabe Miku
Takeuchi Miyu
Shimada Haruka
Hirajima Natsumi
Ooya Shizuka
Yonezawa Rumi
Matsubara Natsumi

From the video, I might be missing one person, but for the most part, all these girls should be in it.

^Thanks! That was quick!

Anyway, this uploader noted that the BGM (background music) is 「君の背中」 which should be the b-side of this new single?

I really like the song and it might be the best AKB single since Beginner but man, the PV is boring as hell. The "dance shot" version of Beginner is probably be the worst AKB PV ever but Kaze wa Fuiteiru ain't that far away from claiming the title. Well at least the dance choreography looks kinda cool...

atarashii-michi · « **Reply #35 on:** September 29, 2011, 08:55:55 AM »

I love this song <3
Just beautiful~

Not entirely fond of the outfits, but they were chosen to be plain because it is supposed to focus on the atmosphere rather than individual members. It shows their modesty. Also, they are wearing funeral headbands. All to represent mourning the deaths of those who passed away during the Tohoku Earthquake. So some may complain about the style being too bland, but the reason is to back away from individual members and showy-ness, and instead focus on that atmosphere and the actual purpose and meaning of the single. That is why I can't really say anything negative about it, even if I do not love it. Still, I love the song, and knowing that the aim is to support victims of the Tohoku Earthquake make this single all the more meaningful. Of all the AKB48 singles, I think this is the one I feel the need to buy most.

Also, it comes out on my birthday. <3

Great post! I gotta admit that the PV does work in that context and I'd love to know what the lyrics are about. It will also be interesting to see what kind of outfits they will use for performances. For some reason I can't really picture them wearing the PV outfits but they definitely aren't gonna wear anything flashy this time.

To be honest, I thought the preview was boring when I first saw it.
But I like the song much more now after hearing the full version.

Thank you~ I would like to see what outfits they'll be performing in as well. I agree, I cannot imagine them wearing the PV outfits for performances, but the outfits will definitely be more toned-down than usual.

Thank you so much for your post! I didn't know about the funeral headbands - I just thought they were wearing weird hats

It all makes sense now.

I love the song, I love the dance and I love the concept. And the Acchan/Yuko double center is a nice change.
