Pedicure is a real nice song I must say. The PV is also kind of interesting. Wasn't able to view the PV through Sony Music Network Youtube as it was 'not made available to my country'.

Video is flipped and the pitch is increased by this uploader

AKB48 6th Anniversary - My 3rd Anniversary

Debuted in 8th December 2005, AKB48 started out with 20 first generation memebers, which are later known as Team A. After 6 years of journey, AKB48 have grown to become a very popular idol group in Japan and also spreading around the world at a really fast pace. Currently it consists of more than 48 members with 16 members in each of Team A, K and B, and 11 members in Team 4. Not to forget, 33 Kenkyuusei members (Research Students/Trainees), excluding Eguchi Aimi - the virtual idol made in collaboration with Glico's 'アイスの実' CM.

I shall not talk too much into the history, which I already posted on a page of this blog, and go straight to my reflection on my three years of AKB48 fandom. Thus, can be considered 3rd Anniversary for me.

I totally loved their singles, 'Answer' and 'Relax', and am totally anticipating for the release of this single. ^^
I wonder what would be singing style be like. Maybe slightly wild or fierce? Their songs' singing style tends to be reflected on its single's cover one way or another.

Check out at no3b's official site for more information on the singles!
