Avex Revealed Song-Lists Of Sashiko’s First Solo Single

  April 21, 2012
I think 2th May battle of Rino Sashihara vs Nogizaka46 is also a battle between two big record labels in Japan, Avex vs Sony. As it’s gradually revealed that bonus items for both singles are ridiculously attractive 33 versions of “Virtual Movie” short movies, we come to understand these record labeled this battle a great marketing opportunity and putting large amount of money and effort to make this battle bigger.
But I think it’s almost cheat that Avex send all of their girl idols to support Sashiko lol Sure, this is gonna drive record sales (among Ota) hundreds times more. (Rino said “Of course you don’t necessarily buy my CD to see this Budokan event, there’ll be other way to be announced. I want you to just enjoy idols!”)
One thing annoys me is Avex never put enough visuals of MV or bonus short movies for Rino Sashihara on it’s website or Yotube, while Sony (SMEJ) already uploaded almost everything on their official youtube page.
But of course this means Sashiko and Sony is clearly holding initiative in this battle. (I’m not sure)
Anyway Avex revealed song-list for her solo debut single “Soredemo Sukidayo” today.
Single’s title song “Soredemo Sukidayo” is used for a theme song of Sashiko-starring TV Drama “Muse no Kagami”. This song represents AkiP’s signature 80’s idol tune, making for me looks Sashiko a bit older. Thinks about it, she is only 19 y/o!! It’s unbelievable!
Below is the song-lists for all 4 versions of single. Note that type-D is a “Theatre Version” (which means you can buy only at here) and comes without DVD. Tickets for bonus events come with only First-editions as always.

As explained in this post, “Renai Sosenkyo” is an exclusive song for special subunit of AKB called YM7 which already broke up, while “Yeah! Meccha Holiday is a hit song of Aya Matsuura, a popular idol in early 2000’s.
Sashiko boasted “I’ve sung (Yeah Meccha Holiday) tons of times at Karaoke, so recording was done so smoothly. Make sure to listen to the song.”

I’m a little jealous of Chinese-Ota, since China’s website seems like the safest place to upload copyrights-infringing materials….
