AKB48 28th Single - 'UZA'


The title of the upcoming AKB48 single is revealed and the song was performed for the first time during the AKB48's 3rd Janken Tournament at Nippon Budokan. In 'UZA', Oshima Yuko and Matsui Jurina are chosen as double centers - where this is the second time Jurina is chosen as center for an AKB48 single (The first time was 'Oogoe Diamond' where Maeda Atsuko and Jurina were chosen as double centers). The single is scheduled to be released on the 31st of October.

Like the previous Janken Tournament, I am very impressed with the new song 'UZA' ('Kaze wa Fuiteiru' for the previous) and can't wait for the release of the single and PV. Well, the singles released around this period of the year for the past few years are 'cool' themed after all  - Kaze wa Fuiteiru, Beginner, RIVER... and just happen that these few are my top favourites!

The other Senbatsu members for the single are:
Shimazaki Haruka, Watanabe Miyuki (AKB48/NMB48), Miyawaki Sakura (HKT48/first senbatsu), Yokoyama Yui, Minegishi Minami, Sashihara Rino (HKT48), Yamamoto Sayaka (NMB48), Kojima Haruna, Shinoda Mariko, Matsui Rena (SKE48), Kashiwagi Yuki, Itano Tomomi, Takahashi Minami, and Watanabe Mayu.
More details are yet to be announced.

Hmm... somehow I prefer the performance of 'UZA' at the Janken tournament than the PV... but the PV actually is kind of addictive too. Can't stop looping it again and again. =X
