The PV is up on the download section, did you guys like it?

Chocolove's gonna be releasing their third single on October 24th, but this one's only gonna have three editions: CD+DVD, limited CD-only and a regular CD-only

Looks like their gonna be a regular sub-group

cool! btw i'm starting my own AKB48 forum and i need help with information on them and updating news, does anyone know any sites that regularly update with AKB48 news?

There's the JPM forum...
Btw, once you've finished creating your AKB48 forum, don't stagger to share the link

Chocolove's B-Side is available!

Citation :

Kare no KITCHEN [ listen RP | WMP ]

Also, Chocolove's 3rd single has been announced!
More information as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

Thanks the b-side sounds alittle H!Pish no? they sure are releasing singles fast, i guess thats their plan to go to the top

A bit indeed, but actually, I think AKB48 shouldn't try to become like H!P
I think they brought something new to japanese idol pop music with Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru, Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou, or even Ashita wa Ashita no Kimi ga Umareru.

Moreover H!P sales can't stop decrease, it seems likes japanese fan are getting bored, so it won't be a good idea commercially speaking if they start doing H!P-like stuff.

And I like the fact AKB48 and H!P are differnt I wish it'd stay like that

AKB48 8th single seems to be "夕陽を見ているか? (Yuuhi wo Miteiruka?)" on Oct 31.

From what I heard, there are 3 (or 4) versions this time.
1. Normal edition
2. CD+DVD edition
3. First Limited edition
(4. First Limited edition another ver.)

The song : http://www.akb48.co.jp/song/movie/01h13.html

ugh i don't mean to be rude to AKB48 but i'm realy getting sick of all these upbeat happy songs lol please go back to the Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou style T-T i'm gonna lose all my fan-base for them if they keep this up

stupid song writers it's all their falt

I do agree with you
What made me down on AKB48 was Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru & Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou. It was okay for me some happy songs in order not to do the same kind of things, but I was hoping it wouldn't last after summertime.

I was waiting for another cool & provocative single.

Btw, Boku no Taiyou did slightly better sales than the other singles, and Sakura no Hanabiratachi, which is also a joyful song remain their best sales ever.

their first single is their best selling one?
Skirt, Hirari is their worst selling single? but i love that T-T
what in the wrod is wrong with these poeple?!
