I split the post from the Erena thread since this is pretty epic news!

and woah! That preview sounds a lot better than I ever imagined.

According to the news article, Erepyon wrote the lyrics to Erepyon

WHOOOAAAAHHHHH

This is amazing! Erepyon is back, and a solo single too. Everyone's debuting solo these days

Judging from it clip, I think her singing improved a metric ton. The song had a nice rock-ish touch to it, which is a good change from the cutesy songs she used to do. Very cool

No way!!! If this had been announced on the 1st April I'd have been sure it was a joke. I half expected her return to be a small acting role, there was no way I'd thought it would be with a single.

I've always loved her voice when she speaks due to that raspy quality. And she sounds really good in that preview when she sings. It has that quality of her voice but also quite a mature sound. But it just made me so happy seeing her again in video like that

I was far too late getting into AKB that she was basically leaving by the time I started to become a big fan. Yet she'd already got my attention and then whilst rewatching old AKB stuff I fell in love with her more and more. Yet of course she was gone.

I hope this single really does well and that she can make a return

I became a fan of AKB waaaaaay after Erepyon even graduated, but looking at old AKB TV appearances and such, I found her really cute and I thought she had potential.

Now she's going for a SOLO SINGLE 2 years after her leave. Defenitely buying this one, can't wait for my first taste of Erepyon :3

PV preview!

First impression:
- Boxer Erena so kakkoii.
- Idol Erena looking good as well, though the choreography isn't what I imagined it'd be given the feel of the song.

Looks and sounds pretty damn good! Her solo career is already more interesting than Oshima Mai's.

PV preview!

First impression:
- Bounce bounce~
- Not feeling the idol get-up for her. Indeed the song feels un-idol wasn't expecting something so sugary
- Boxer scene looks cool though

Watches PV preview, see's slow-mo of her jumping into the ring, 'hmm, I wonder if they also did a slow-mo of.... Hot damn, they did do a slow-mo of her jumping rope!'

Well that's me officially sold

That aside though, I kinda like the song and I think it suits her voice well. I'm not so sure about the 'idol' parts of the PV only because I've never really seen Erepyon as a real sparkly type idol. She always seemed more a mix of cute and cool to me. I prefer her looking a little badass in the boxing scenes. Although she does look cute in the idol outfit so it's still all fine by me.

I'm really hopeful her career can get off the ground with this release.

Edit: replaced with better quality (watermark D:)

Transition between chorus and 2nd verse seemed rather non-existent and threw me off quite a bit. Don't know if I'm reading into too deeply, but I'm getting that this PV is supposed represent Erepyon's post-grad transition to where she is now. Idol Pyon -> Pyon boxer training for fight -> boxer Pyon taking out idol Pyon. If that's what it's supposed to be, I totally like the concept.
