Obviously someone was only glancing at the article, it is the name of a song and pretty much looks like they were lazy and put the chorus as the title of the single.

It was a joke.
Also, the one who only glanced at the article is you.
Quote:
General Producer Yasushi said, "When creating the song this time around, while picturing the members from the [most recent] Janken Senbatsu, we felt something that we couldn't quite put into a single word or phrase. That might be the glimmer of youth, of the mystique of the girls, or the enthusiasm witch which AKB48 as a group chases their dreams with everything they've got. That's why we went with a title where that sentiment seemed to be jotted down."

Why can't Aki-P just level with us and say he's copying the growing trend of run-on titles.

I wonder which takes longer to sing... the verses, the chorus, or the title? Either way, time for e-stores and MP3 manufacturers to start checking the maximum field lengths & pushing updates now.

I'm sorry, sarcasm never reads well over the internet.

Tokyohive has more information on this song. Yeah I'm going to agree with some of the comments made on Tokyohive:

Quote:
i'll just call this as 34th single


Quote:
Im just going to call it Jurina's single!!


Quote:
Fans agree to call it "Suzuki Mariya"


Quote:
I'll call it the song with the really long ass title that no one can remember. Can't wait to see music shows trying to say this or fit this into the intro box lmao


I think this is the first time I've seen a song title this freaking long.

Good point. Maybe the title of the song should have been that instead. Much shorter. Razz
