Labrador Retriever (FULL PV)

I was expecting memorable members shoots, I guess just the "clone" shoots were special

Ending was funny, really didn't expect that lol

edit:

Graduation alert: Takamina is graduating!! date unknown, probably end of the year

^ wait what?!
but there's no news about it

Really ? O_O

It just happened to pop up at my FB at that time so I couldn't find the article!!

She said that this will be her last stage with her team, in other words, she won't be in the group for the next stage

I'm sure she won't be graduating until AKB's 10th anniversary on December 8th, 2015.

Their 10th anniversary already!? It just feel like yesterday when they debuted

:wave

I'M OUTTA THIS FANDOM

^They only want to be popular.
I watch the MV and I only know some faces (Takamina, Sashi, Jurina, Rena, Mayu, Kojiharu).
Who other members are popular ?

^Minegishi, Sayaka (NMB48), the Nogizaka girl

^Minegishi (shaved head ?), Sayaka is the face of NMB48 with short hair, right?
But who is the Nogizaka girl ?

Yes / Yes / No, I was wrong it wasn't her, it's just a SKE member that is being popular, holding a concurrent position in AKB48: Kodama Haruka (She stands a lot because of her haircut)

Erm, no?
She said this would be her last team, which is VERY different.

The next shuffle could come in 3 years, and it's prety obvious that she won't be around by that time.
So, in the end, she didn't say anything we didn't know.

And Kodama Haruka is from HKT, not SKE.

And "the other girl" in the Labrador Retriever cover with the "flawless" members is Kizaki Yuria, who will probably rank in senbatsu this year, recently transfered from SKE to AKB and new center of Team 4.

Plus, no matter how you count, Mayu is a third-gen member: http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/AKB48_Members

^^

Mayu is 1st gen Team B, I count how I want to

Mayu is 3rd gen. You can count as you want, but that doesn't make it true lol

How do you count then members like Watanabe Shiho and Urano Kazumi? They were originally in Team A and were transfered to Team B so they could be 16.
And Oku Manami? She was in Team K before transfering to Team B.

There's a difference between "original Team B" and "1st gen".

The only 1st-gens in the group are Kojiharu, Takamina and Miichan, you like it or not.

I barely know who is who in AKB anymore, so many new faces and so many people have transferred to other groups it's hard to keep up! I just want No Sleeves to release something new again. I love Kojiharu, Takamina & Miichan together.

SKE, NMB and HKT are, essentially, AKB. They're just another city's version of AKB (just like EXO-K and EXO-M).
So you can give them a listen cause they sound exactly the same lol

I feel like AKB48 is getting the worse songs lately.

I kind of feel the same way, maybe not the worst but I don't care for Labrador Retriever at all and typically AKB's summer songs are pretty good. I guess that's why I've been paying more attention to NMB & Nogizaka46, their songs are usually decent.

Agree, I don't like AKB's recent songs, I feel like the most decent songs they released since last year is only Koisuru Fortune Cookies.

I have peen paying more attention to SKE nowadays <3 Even though some prominent members have graduated but it's still fun to watch
