AKB48 19th Single [Chance no Junban]

     I'm sure most of you here remember the the announcement to choose the Senbatsu members for AKB48's 19th Single through a Janken Tournament. I'm sure most of you remember the outcome of it too. Doesn't seem that long ago when we were raeging on how our Oshimens didn't make it to Senbatsu. With the 18th Single Beginner successfully released about two weeks ago, it's time to shift our focus to the 19th Single. Fittingly titled [Chance no Junban] ((My) Turn by Chance), lets see how Ucchi will fare as the new Center of AKB.

     Chance no Junban will be released on 8 December, only one and a half months after Beginner. For the first time ever, the Single versions will be Team based. There will be a total of 4 types: Type A, Type K, Type B, and Theater ver. Also for the first time ever for an AKB48 Single, the Theater ver. will have its own track separate from the normal vers.

     The A side song Chance no Junban will be used as the theme song for AKB48's upcoming PSP game AKB 1/48 Idol to Koishitara... to be released on 23 December. Track 2 Yoyaku Shita Christmas will feature the regular Senbatsu girls before the Janken Tournament. That means Acchan, Yuko, Mariko, Tomochin, Mayuyu, Takamina and co. The song is currently being used for the Seven Eleven Christmas Campaign CM, which AKB48 is part of.

     The 3rd Track for all 4 types will have their own song. Type A will have Kurumi to Dialogue sung by Team A, Type K will have ALIVE sung by Team K, Type B will have Love Jump sung by Team B, and finally Theater ver. will have Fruits Snow sung by the AKB48 Kenkyuuseis.

     This is also the first AKB48 Single since Baby! Baby! Baby! that does not have any SKE48 members.
