AKB48 - Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai Type C ~unboxing~

After what feels like forever I am now posting an unboxing. This time it is AKB48's 40th single ''Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai'', since I recently purchased the type C of this single. It comes with a voting ticket for the 7th Senbatsu Election, which I will definetely use!


Here we have the cover which shows the 16 main senbatsu members in the dancing scene. Not my favourite cover, but it looks cool. Especially the big clock in the background. *-*
Still, I think it's so lazy that they only used screenshots for the covers. -.-


Backcover with our salty center (Paruru), Renacchi and Yuria. Oh, and it's nice to see Sasshi on the right, too. xP


Obiiii!


The inside of the CD.


A boring CD design.


And a boring DVD design.


BLACK!!


Again the cover on the booklet.


It's nice that they wrote all the names.


Aaaaaand I've got the type with Jurina in the booklet. Oh yessss, I'M SO HAPPYYY about that. *-*
She looks so awesome here and it makes me miss her long hair a bit. :o


Then we have Mayuyu, who looks really beautiful, too. *-*


Lyrics for the A-side.


And a cool Sayanee. Seriously, I'm so happy with the pictures of this type. :3


Summer side lyrics


Kegareteiru Shinjitsu lyrics.


And Mion! Since she is my favourite 15th gen and a really cool girl, I'm so happy to see her included not only in the media senbatsu but also in my booklet. ;)


Credits.


And Paruru on the back cover.

It's an okay CD design if you ask me. The screenshots are a bit boring, but they look nice so yeah. I do REALLY like the promotional pictures in the booklet.. They should have made the covers with that style..


My HMV shop bonus with NyanNyan and Paruru in the pink trousers. It's a really nice picture. :D


And my special photo is Naanya. She looks really beautiful and even though she isn't my favourite member, I love this photo. :D

Tracklist:

CD:
1. Bokutachi wa tatakawanai
2. Summer Side
3. Kegareteiru Shinjitsu

6. Kegareteiru Shinjitsu (off vocal)

DVD:
1. Bokutachi wa tatakawanai Music Video
2. Summer Side Music Video

I have to say that I like this single a lot. Bokutachi wa tatakawanai is their best single in a long while with a pretty cool video and Summer Side is our nice up-beat summer song. Kegareteiru Shinjitsu is probably my favourite song of this whole single. I really love darker songs and this one is just so awesome. Adding to that it has a cool music videos and the Team 8 members are just so freaking energetic which is nice to see. :D
The only sad thing is that we once again don't have any extra movies. :/ I know, I'm so spoiled, but AKB48 always had a Making-Of or some sort of extras on their DVDs. ._.

Still, this is a very nice single. :D

Unyanyanya, Unyanyanya all night long

I'm back again! I'm really busy put I'm posting something again. :D
Today I will talk about the song ''Idol wa unyanya no Ken'' by AKB48's sub-group NyaKB with Tsuchinoko Panda.



This was made as the 4th ending for the Anime series Yokai Watch. I don't know this show, I'm only familar with the orange cat ghost (or whatever) Jibanyan. He seems to be a big fan of an Idol group called NyaKB, so AKB created a sub-group for the Anime. For this they chose the following members: Shimazaki ahruka, Matsui Jurina, Miyawaki Sakura, Kawaei Rina, Kizaki Yuria, Kojima Mako and Kato Rena. As you can see those are mostly part of what management calls the 'New Generation' even tough sadly Ricchan won't be part of that new gen anymore. The biggest three pushes Paru, Jurina and Sakura up front and we have a Paruru center (exactly like the front row of the new single btw). Well, I like Paruru a lot, so it's cool to see her centering this. :D
Idol wa Unya Nya no Ken is a really really catchy and fun song. Especially the Unyanyanya's from the chorus always get stuck up in my head and me and a friend are always singing this because it is so cool. XD Adding to the cool song, the lyrics are also very interesting. They are about Idols and are a pretty realistic view on their lives, making fun of some stereotypes. Here are a few examples:

Aa, yes we do ue the toilet
Aa, yes sometimes we get tired of smiling too
And we have secrets that we don't talk about

This shows that Idols are only humans, too, who are living the same life as we are. It's pretty cool to see such a song!
So let's take a look at the video now:


It all starts with Paruru looking slightly salty..


Paru: What do you want?


Whut?


The members in Anime style:
Kojima Mako


Kato Rena


Kawaei Rina


Kizaki Yuria


Miyawaki Sakura


Matsui Jurina *-*


And Shimazaki Haruka



I really like the outfits and how they all have cat ears. :3
The top3 also have a crown and the others have clovers on their head.


Bored queen Paruru.


Paru: Gaaaah..
Okay, what is coming out of her mouth?


I know it's a paruru center, but I mean, they could at least try to look motivated.. :'D


NyaKB!!! :D


Paruru, smile!!!


Jurina looks so beautiful *-* and I kinda miss her long hair.. even though I love her short hair, too


The dance looks funny..


Paparazzi??


Sakura: What do they want?
It's nice to see her ear. ;3


Ricchan is so freaking cute. ^-^


Running away from the paparazzis..


This thing is creepy. :'D


A new game: Who looks the most bored..
Paruru: I'm the winner..



So cool xD



I love this part.


Paruru: Why?


It's funny...


So cute <3



Here is Jibanyan



The girls! Well, at least they are all smiling here. :)



lol, Paru xD



Well, she's really cute.


Jurina is the most energetic here. xD


Best pose everrr!! XD



Mako: I can't see!!



Jurina: Nyan!


I really like how this looks like a set for a photoshooting!


What is that?


Renacchi: That's our magic!


Whut, Paruru is crying? :o


Let's dance!


This looks actually really cool.



Sakura: Oh nooo, what's happening..



The cutest baby. *-*


J: I know..




Haha, this looks so cool!


<3


Sakura is such a cutie..


Too much salt... XD



Love these shots. *-*


I don't know what she is doing but okaaaay.


So cool XD




The NyaaKB cats. I love them :3




Wooohooo



Paru: This is boring..









Motivation..... :'D



The best <3


Sakuratan looks slightly confused. xD


I love this so much!! xD




They are all so lovely..




Well, that was a pretty simple video. Still, it was pretty funny and I loved the outfits, dance and all the colours & special effects. There's only one thing that bugs me a bit: the lack of motivation. I know, Paruru is always a bit salty which is pretty cool most of the time and here it dos fit the lyrics a bit (her face is epic). But it's a bit odd to see them all so bored in this video, especially when they are dancing. Mostly Paru, Yuria and Rena who always look a bit unmotivated if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, I like them all, but eeeeh.. Still, it's a nice video and they all look very cute. *.*

I do hope we will see more Anime tied-in songs, because this one is epic. :3
