To be honest, I dont know if its 12 new songs with 1 song each week or 12 new songs each week, but I'll just copy from Jpopasia. Guess this will be the last few songs with Acchan inside.

Ffff when is this last performance going to take place? It was announced foreeeeeever ago. This isn't a wedding where you have to wait for a year, GTFO already.

woah. suprising. sashii is still there.

and if they're really doing 12 new songs per week... isn't that already enough to create A7, K7, B6 and etc for the teams?

Probably Aki-p wants to give Jurina a break. But still, not seeing her here is quite disappointing.. Oh and, why isn't Kasai there? T.T
liime_arix 13th-Jul-2012 02:31 pm (UTC)
Jurina is a child and Pachinko is kinda like gambling, so you can't have a child promoting that.

Well the commercial you post actually tells you our answer. This part 新公演曲全12曲順次公開 means "New performance of 12 songs overall will be released in sequence". So its a song per week.


(wordy translation, I know. But my gift has never been translating smoothly, I always want to make sure people know what it means and how I got there).
