SKE48's 6th Single [Pareo wa Emerald] - Covers + Tracklist

The covers and tracklist for SKE48's 6th Single [Pareo wa Emerald], and 1st under the avex label, has been revealed. The single will go on sale on 27 July, Matsui Rena's birthday.

SKE48 has released a short version of the PV on their YouTube Channel. The PV for Pareo wa Emerald was shot in Hawaii, and resembled AKB48's Ponytail to Shushu / Everyday Kachuusha quite a bit especially at the beach dance scene. Even the intro music style was copied over. As expected, SKE48 has stuck to its fast paced energetic and catchy idol type music. Well it works and I like it.

Just like the previous 2 Singles, Akagumi and Shirogumi (Red team and White Team) will be used for this Single's B-sides too. There is also a third new team, "Selection 8", made up of presumably the top 8 girls in SKE.



There's still a month to go till the single release. 450,000 copies have already been shipped out, 150k more than Banzai Venus.
