Saisho no Mail PV
This is the most anticipated single release of the year for me as French Kiss is my most favourite sub-unit from AKB48! I foresee that a lot of my pay would end up on this singl. XD
UPDATE (8th October):
Details updated, Radio rip added
UPDATE (12th October):
One of the types of the single would feature a footage of French Kiss in 'Korea Bullet Tour'
[With regards to the single’s promotions, the girls will be doing a campaign on Recochoku called “A ‘First letter’ from French Kiss”. One member will choose their favorite “love mail” and send one back. French Kiss expressed that it’s an exciting project for them, and Takajo sweetly pointed out that the scenario is like what one would find in a manga. She requested that their fans send a letter that will make her heart skip a beat. Kuramochi, on the other hand, wants one that is more straightforward.]Sound super interesting but I would not be able to take part in it I guess T_T
UPDATE (24th October):
Short preview of the PV posted on avex official youtube channel
UPDATE (25th October):
Rest of the track lists (the Type B and C B-sides) were announced
UPDATE (23rd November):
French Kiss holds a release event for their latest single
On November 22nd, AKB48 sub-unit French Kiss held a release event for their latest single, “Saisho no Mail“.
French Kiss performed their new song in front of 50 fans who were invited to the event through a lottery. Regarding the song, member Takajo Aki commented, “It’s a song about destined love that starts with one mail. It has lovely lyrics like something that would appear in a girls’ comic. It’s a very cute song appropriate for French Kiss.” Kuramochi Asuka added, “The three of us can dance together, but Yukirin’s (Kashiwagi) angle of her turns is especially cute!”
Although AKB48 has a ban on relationships, each member commented on love. “I’m not good at household chores in general, so I want someone who can do household chores. I don’t have any desire for marriage, but I would think about it if he’d do everything for me,” explained Kashiwagi Yuki. Meanwhile, Kuramochi revealed, “I want to feel that excitement the first time I meet him.“ Takajo also shared, “My dream is to date for about 10 years, then get married. I want an inseparable marriage.”
After the event, the girls gave each fan a high five on their way out of the venue.
