Now, it might sound stupid but I was under the impression that AKB48 already released albums. I guess stage albums and their greatest hits albums don't count. Who knew? XD
This is extremely exciting news for AKB48 fans. Personally I am looking forward to hearing the songs. AKB48 always releases good songs, so I can't wait to hear what types of songs are on the album.
But I also have to wonder how the album is going to work. AKB48 is an insanely huge group, so how are they going to decide who sings when? It's not like singles were they can do a janken tournament or hold senbatsu elections. It's also not a stage where they are already in their teams. So, how exactly is this going to work. If they split the songs into already existing teams or sub-groups, how is that different or exciting? I don't know about you but if I wanted to see them in their predictable teams, I'd watch one of their stages. But I'm afraid that, that's what's going to happen. But if AKB48 is going to continue to stay on the top they are going to have to constantly be creative and different. Granted, albums do sell less than albums do. But since it's AKB48 this album is sure to sell a million copies at least. I have extremely high hopes and expectations for this album. I hope I'm not let down.
As always you can purchase the album from CDJapan by clicking the links below. But I suggest you hurry. No doubt that the Limited Edition will sell out quickly.
