Team Dragon from AKB48 Single: [Kokoro no Hane]

18 July: Updated with PV previews, full song, promo CM

Team Dragon from AKB48 will release a single titled [Kokoro no Hane] on 21 July 2010 and the title song will be used as the ending song for Dragon Ball Kai. There will be a total of 11 versions. Yes, 11. This is probably the most number of limited editions you’ve seen in a single release from AKB48. AKB seems to be going all out on walletraep.

All 7 members of Team Dragon are upper-senbatsu girls, namely Takahashi Minami, Maeda Atsuko, Oshima Yuko, Watanabe Mayu, Kojima Haruna, Itano Tomomi and Kashiwagi Yuki. Essentially the best 7 of AKB without Mariko.

I would really encourage people to buy the limited edition(s), especially if one of these girls is your oshimen, because they come with a trading card of the selected member and a B3-sized poster, which totally makes your money worth. Also, I could be wrong but I think Team Dragon is only going to be a one-off, so if you really like the lineup, you should get Limited H as well.

Since Dragon Ball is a popular title in Japan, I have no doubt this single will sell well. With the inclusion of all upper-senbatsu members (except Mariko), success is ensured. I’m expecting around 100k first-day sales, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they surpassed that.
