So PVs C/W's for the new AKB48 single are out.
Full GIVE ME FIVE - Baby BlossomFeat: Kojima Haruna, Sashihara Rino, Shinoda Mariko, Takajo Aki, Takahashi Minami, Maeda Atsuko, Itano Tomomi, Oshima Yuko, Minegishi Minami, Miyazawa Sae, Yokoyama Yui, Kasai Tomomi, Kashiwagi Yuki, Kitahara Rie, Watanabe Mayu, Matsui Jurina, Matsui Rena, Yamamoto Sayaka
Haven't watched it, too much drama not enough PV.
I personally think they should have left the front girls out of the c/w songs and left them to the other girls. But that's just me being me. :P
Sweet & Bitter - Selection 6Feat: Sashihara Rino, Shinoda Mariko, Takahashi Minami, Maeda Atsuko, Itano Tomomi, Oshima Yuko
As no one in this lineup interests me in the slightest I found the PV boring because of this and the song just as much.
New Ship - Special Girls AFeat: Sato Sumire, Ichikawa Miori, Iriyama Anna, Shimazaki Haruka, Yamauchi Suzuran, Iwata Karen, Kato Rena, Kawaei Rina, Takahashi Juri, Tano Yuka, Kizaki Yuria, Matsui Jurina, Kimoto Kanon, Watanabe Miyuki, Kodama Haruka, Melody
Got to admit, I only watched this to see how Melody faired with the other girls. Stuck out like a soar thumb so it wasn't hard to spot her. The more I watch her the more I think Sumire was better meant for AKB48 and never to be a H!P member.
Oh and are they recreating Heavy Rotation? I skipped the entire storyline part and went straight to the music.
Hitsujikai no Tabi - Special Girls BFeat: Iwasa Misaki, Ota Aika, Katayama Haruka, Kuramochi Asuka, Kojima Haruna, Takajo Aki, Akimoto Sayaka, Umeda Ayaka, Kikuchi Ayaka, Fujie Reina, Matsui Sakiko, Minegishi Minami, Miyazawa Sae, Yokoyama Yui, Kasai Tomomi, Kashiwagi Yuki, Kitahara Rie, Sato Amina, Masuda Yuka, Watanabe Mayu, Shimada Haruka, Nagao Mariya, Matsui Rena, Takayanagi Akane
With two girls whom I know in this group, I was mostly interested in this song. Of course it was slow and I hate slow from anyone associated with the 48s. (Same could be said for H!P. In general I just dislike slow songs from Japanese artists.) PV on the other hand, wtf? Not sure what was going on, but hello Pagan!
On an aside note, I want to burn that hat on Takahashi Minami's head SO bad! The one she's wearing in promo for Give Me Five. Or do this!

This would be so much better!
