So AKB are going to sing the drama "asa ga kita" theme (broadcasted from 2015/09/28 till 2016/04/02 on Fuji TV)
The song is titled "365-Nichi no kami hikōki" and Sayanee will lead it.

1st time she is centering an AKB song if I'm not wrong.
Also I suppose they will release this either as a B side for the october / november single (most likely to be centered by Takahashi because it's going to be her very last single in AKB), or a 1 shot single like Team dragon

 

[Reimon]

This could be Takamina's final participate for the 42nd single and probably including a graduation song for her as well.

Nothing against Nana, but I just kept forgetting to post about her Janken taikai win here. :sweat:

Fujita Nana wins AKB48's annual 'Janken Tournament'
September 17, 2015

On September 16, AKB48 group held their annual "Janken Tournament" at Yokohama Arena, and the title of the 6th Janken queen went to AKB48 team K member Fujita Nana. Thanks to this, Fujita will be making a solo debut.

Fujita's opponent for the final round was Nakanishi Chiyori. Before the match, Fujita was making aggressive comments like, "I feel like I could win if it's Chiyori," but at the moment she secured her victory, she covered her face with her hands, and dropped on her knees.

When she received a trophy from the MC Fukuzawa Akira, she said while bursting into tears, "What have I done? Please buy my CD," and continued, "but it's a chance I obtained after 5 years, so I will do my best," which brought a big cheer from the audience of 12,000 fans.

As mentioned earlier, the winner gets to make her solo debut, while the members who ranked 2nd place to 16th, will be singing a coupling track for the CD, and the center of the coupling song will be the runner-up, which is Nakanishi this time.

The top 16 members are as follows;
Fujita Nana (AKB), Nakanichi Chiyori (AKB), Nomura Nao (AKB), Sato Kiara (AKB), Nishino Miki (AKB), Kondo Moeri (AKB), Fukuoka Seina (AKB), Jonishi Kei (NMB), Yokoyama Yui (AKB), Kojima Natsuki (AKB), Yokoshima Aeri (AKB), Iino Miyabi (AKB), Kizaki Yuria (AKB), Abe Mei (AKB), Aigasa Moe (AKB), and Watanabe Miyuki (NMB / AKB).

The winners of the past Janken Tournament include Uchida Mayumi, Shinoda Mariko, Shimazaki Haruka, Matsui Jurina, and Watanabe Miyuki.

[Reimon]

Yeah, I knew that. I meant that Acchan & Yuko made a surprise appearance at the Kuhaku Utagassen.
There's also a 43rd single is coming out on March 9, 2016 which will be having Acchan, Yuko, Tomochin & Mariko participating it.

 

[Reimon]

So the 43rd single is called "Kimi wa Melody (You are Melody)", and the Center is Sakura Miyawaki.
