The timing of all this is so hilarious.

That's it. Mind blown.

It was too fast. I mean, the CD will be release in a month from now?? Are they crazy or what?

I always want her to get the solo project thingie... but this is....

They make it seems like the single recording and the photo shoots (the CM at least) have been completed already?
That just raises further questions regarding the whole 'dropping out the 10.000 yen challenge' situation...

Anyway, I hope people will forget about all that and that Kasai can make a fresh start and have a successful 2013.

As for the single... Please be epic.

AKB48’s Kasai Tomomi to make her solo debut

On November 10, AKB48’s Kasai Tomomi (20) appeared in Tokyo for JRA’s (Japan Racing Association) ’Kasai Project‘ event.

During this event, it was announced that the idol would be making her solo debut under Nippon Crown on December 26. “I was surprised. It’s still like a dream,” she expressed. She will be holding her solo debut live during the Japan Cup this coming 25th at Tokyo Keibajo.

Earlier in spring, JRA started their campaign, ‘AKB no Gachi Uma‘, in which 27 AKB48 members over the age of 20 competed by betting on a horse race to star in JRA’s new CM. As the winner, Kasai will not only be getting a CM, but also a solo debut.

Kasai commented, “A solo debut was my dream. Because I’m used to a large number of people, I get nervous when I appear alone on variety shows. When it comes to singing, I think I’m going to be even more nervous. But this was my dream, so I want to enjoy it.”

Although her debut single hasn’t been recorded yet, she shared that she’s already looked at the lyrics. “I get excited just by looking at it. It’s perfect for me, and I hope that people who listen to it will become happy.”

Kasai became AKB48’s 2nd generation member along with Oshima Yuko (24) and Miyazawa Sae (21) back in April of 2006. Following Itano Tomomi (21), Maeda Atsuko (21 = graduated on August 27th), Iwasa Misaki (17), Watanabe Mayu (18), Sashihara Rino (19), Matsui Sakiko (21 = pianist), Kashiwagi Yuki (21 = in preparation), and Takahashi Minami (21 = in preparation), Kasai will become AKB48’s 9th member to debut as a soloist.

Aside from her solo debut live on the 25th, Kasai will also release her 1st solo photo book in late-January. Her CM for JRA will air starting on the 18th.

A wild solo debut appears!

I think we can safely assume that every mainstream AKB member is gonna get something like this soon?

IMHO Kasai's not really one of those powerhouses in the group, but still is in the spotlight. I don't exactly know what's special about her that Aki-P sees unless she has a good solo voice (which I haven't heard).

Excited about what good this push is gonna bring besides more money for Aki-P.

She is. Just listen to her unit songs or MINT's song (Kimi ni Tsuite). Dakishimeraretara and Maria are my favourites.

Mu-mo.net has some information on the coupling songs:

Type A: Candy (Solo version)
Type B: Dakishimeraretara (Solo version)
Type C: both of the above

Subject to change, but it seems legit.

stv_wong · « **Reply #15 on:** November 21, 2012, 03:57:02 PM »

^Type C got both songs?

But it was CD only

Arghh.... which should I choose??

songbac · « **Reply #16 on:** November 21, 2012, 05:01:49 PM »

i'll buy type A &B

i'm asking myself: should i add type C

WindCaliber · « **Reply #17 on:** November 22, 2012, 12:31:00 AM »

Candy isn't Candy without Masuda Yuka, though!

Anywho, best wishes to Kasai

yeah, it's my problem too

, besides, i'm saving my money to buy her photobook

( luckily, she isn't senbatsu in single 29th, so i don't buy it, i can save money for her single)
And the ship cost is my big problem, the ship from Japan to my country is expensive

. For example, i want to buy photobook AKB48 24 hours ( i like style's Tomomi-chan in this book), its cost is 1000 yen, but ship cost to my country is > 2000 yen

, so i have intermediary buy it and the cost total is cheaper
