All the shots with Yuko are especially awesome. Other than that... I kind of wish they had shot the PV in pretty much any brighter setting, like an outdoor performance during the day, at least.

I hope she doesn't fade away like so many AKB girls

I remember she said in the first documentary she said she wanted to be an actress that represented Japan. So I took that to mean she wanted to be like Rinko Kikuchi and Asano Tabanobu who do really art-house films at home and blockbusters in Hollywood. I wonder if she is thinking of joining their agency Anore Inc? Her current agency Ohta Pro hasn't really got anyone with that kind of career path.

I guess the other actor to follow would be Ken Watanabe but to follow in his footsteps would be really hard, his career is really one of a kind.

I would be really impressed if she wanted to be a film star rather than a TV one since Drama is definitely a bigger star maker in Japan.

Yah, Akb is not what it used to be. I'm gonna miss Yuuko too. Even though I have not been such a fan.

Ahhhh, I lost most of my interest in Akb the moment Acchan left
I mean, I'll still check out the new songs because they might be cool, but all the good old members have left ,,,,

To me, there is enough girls from gen 4-5-6-7 left for me to be happy. once everyone up to gen 7 is gone.. we'll see how much i warmed up to gen 9 onwards..

I'm fine as long as Mayu is there. And Takamina.

[Pavlova]

Mayu is going to be there for a few more years at the *very* least.

I feel sorry for Yuko - what a low budget PV. Other than Acchan, she'll be forever Center/Ace of AKB in my heart. Anyways, I'm glad she's finally free off the group, she can now focus on achieving her acting dream. I've practically lost interest in the group too, Sae's the only member I'm following atm. Once she graduates (which I feel is near) that's it. It doesn't help either that the recent singles were kinda bad.

[Pavlova]

I don't know, Sae stated pretty clearly that she intends to come back to AKB after graduating SNH eventually, so maybe she'll be there for a while.

I agree that we haven't seen a really good quality PV for a while.. some b-sides were better than A-sides I guess. I like this song a bunch though. Not a huge fan of the PV.

Sae's been stuck in limbo since the visa problem and up to date, she had only performed once on stage (officially) with them. I'm happy she got to fulfill her dream of doing sth different but at the same time, she didn't do much either. It's like a long long holiday. She's busy with theater now. I hope the shuffle coming on 24th will transfer her back to Team K. If not well....

She did say she'll come back to AKB and properly graduate. As her fan though, I'm not putting too much hope of her staying longer than a year. Especially since Sayaka and Yuko's not around anymore and there's nothing AKB can offer her since they're pushing the newer gens upfront. I'd rather she graduate and pursue her own dream (acting).

[Pavlova]

well we've got the answer to our question today didn't we
