Details on AKB48‘s upcoming single “Heart Ereki“, which will be released on October 30th, has been revealed. It will mark their 33rd single, and its title song’s concept is “band.” Kojima Haruna will be featured as a center for her first time. The new costume which uses mainly red and blue is Group-Sounds-conscious. Group Sounds is a genre of Japanese rock music. Inspired by The Beatles, Group Sounds became popular in the mid to late 1960s. The jacket covers were also finished in 60’s fashion.

In addition, the Music Video for “Heart Ereki” was unveiled during AKB48’s hand shake event took place at Kyocera Dome Osaka on October 5th. This time, Kaneko Shusuke participated as a director of the MV. He is a Japanese film director and screenwriter notable for directing the Heisei Gamera trilogy, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah, and so on. The new MV is a drama-like film, Kaneko commented “I wanted to shoot a drama that 16 members compete with each other for their own personality. I think, I could reveal feelings of the girls through this movie that describes their real selves living earnestly, fighting, singing and dancing.”

Kojima Haruna also commented, “There were lots of acting scenes, but I’d enjoy it. In addition, it was difficult for me to remember member’s band nickname. It has been said that AKB48 should be pass the baton to the next generation, so I think this is a precious chance for me to serve as a center. I’d like to do my best with “charm of adult” that other member don’t have.

The MV has not been published on the internet yet. Now, check out the images below!
