I readed it already and that way I am thinking its it just about making love freefly with boys or selling yourself xD So I am asking your opinion

[visionfactory]

I don't think that song it's about teenage prostitution, it's just about a girl that fell in love after school and want to get sex but they can't because they are in the street ......

edit: Just sharing this awesome PV by SDN48 "Sado e Wataru"

[Amrai-chan]

I like the song better than GAGAGA.

But this game is quite RANDOM - it's just a game of chance (luck), and it's like you've got equal chances in the raffle, so it's quite a jumble there. But what will happen for the 20th single? Let's just see, because I want Itano to be back for the 20th single...

[visionfactory]

For the 20th single I think they are coming back to regular "popularity" senbatsu

Yeah, I want that to happen for the 20th single! I don't think the "scissors-paper-stone" idea was good for me, and maybe also for some fans, as there are a group of fans who are in support of this because they want something different, and another group who are against it because there is a chance their favorite member might actually not appear...

At least Chance no Junban is NOT the 20th single!!!

[Ranma Matsuri]

Do I see other Tomochin fans here as well? She's my #2 after Maririn, luv her sfm.

Definitely AKB48 was on top because of their record-breaking performance this year! And I'm quite surprised that even Tomochin is inside the top twenty, slightly above Ayu!

[dreamland2.0]

Loved the AKBingo performance!!
Mayuchi kawaiii!!!! I love her hat!!

[Ranma Matsuri]

^^ It's not that surprising. Tomochin is one of the most recognizable AKB members because of her modeling and variety show activities. Same for Mariko Shinoda. They both tend to rank high in polls/lists like that.

I was just about to buy it from CDJ but the first press was all sold out D:
I'll just get it from Dora I guess.

[Bigtop]

Whoa, they might be running HOT once again to end the year!!!

[Ranma Matsuri]

lol yeah, first press has been sold out for a couple of weeks now. Dora will have it for sure though. XD

I can't recall Beginner's NINKI but I think it was around the same amount or a little higher? Anyway, so far so good. I'm dying to know the shipment numbers though.

[LacusClyne]

their nikki rating is like 9 times the others! hahahah.
