[Single] Oogoe Diamond (10/22)

[Sayange]

AKB48 released its latest single in October 22. The song ranked #3 in Oricon and has kept in that position since then until today.

That makes of this single their best ranked song ever. Woooooooo! Sales go around 41000 until today.

This single also marks their movement to a new label: King Records (the previous one was Sony-DefStar).

That's it. I'm proud of my girls


And no matter what some ppl say, the song is awesome!

Buy a copy if you like it

[Kanako]

I'm glad it's selling so well. This is by far the best single by them for a long time!
Not only the chorus is catchy, also the verses are enjoyable as I have to admit that the vocals are pretty good in this one. The Team A version isn't that bad, either. I was really surprised. This might become the first AKB48 single I order, although there are a few singles of them I planned to order

[RpgN]

Uhm, how does the covers look like? Is there a b-side included? I'll search their pv on youtube.

[Kanako]

There exist thousands of different covers if I remember correctly
Each member has her seperate cover picture and by ordering online you never know who you'll get.

And yes, there's a B-side. It's called '109'...

[Sayange]

Haha, sorry, I didn't post the cover coz I'm at work and didn't want to lose my time posting it... But since you ask... (sorry boss).

Embedded for those lurking fans who won't look for it.

I'm starting to recognize some of the girls. Why, oh god, why?

[Sayange]

Have you ever heard the word "inevitable"?


Thanx for posting the vid

[RpgN]

Thanks Sayange and Chatin, for the Covers, tracklist and pv.

The song is not bad. Who is that girl who cried and acted well? Are all these girls part of AKB? So many names to remember

[Sayange]

That has to be Acchan (Atsuko Maeda). She's the main AKB48 front girl.

I've watched the video only once coz I'm waiting for my DVD to arrive, but as far as I remember, it was Acchan who cried coz Sae wanted to smack her

RpgN: Just remember... Sayaka Akimoto and Sae Miyazawa
