Watarirouka Hashitai 7 Single [Valentine Kiss]

Covers

From left: Limited A, B and Regular

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 (Watarirouka + Iwasa Misaki and Komori Mika) is releasing their new single on the 2nd of February. It will be a Valentine-themed song as Valentine's Day is only less than two weeks away from the release, and the title song "Valentine Kiss" is a cover of Kokusho Sayuri's (from the now-defunct Onyanko Club) 1986 solo debut single.

The PV concept is of the 7 girls working in a chocolate factory. Previews from news snippets and such has gotten good reactions from fans because it's so sugary cute and catchy. The cinematography also looks good.

Watanabe Mayu gets a solo song and a solo PV included in the single, which has some detractors criticizing the unfairness. However, AKB48 has a reputation for making unpopular decisions so I have no opinion. I'll just wait and see.

The other coupling songs, different on each version are 4nin versions of Hatsukoi yo, Konnichiwa (from Team B 5th Stage) and Pajama Drive (from Team B 3rd Stage), and Mayu's new solo song Yuuhi no Ijiwaru. The funny thing is how the solo PV is on both Limited editions but the song itself is on the Regular version which doesn't come with a DVD. Selling tactics, eh?
