SOURCEFitting the image of ‘disco’ from the Japanese Showa Era (1926–1989) as its theme, the new PV continues last year’s trend where it teases the audience to 「 Dance together to the song! 」 with a choreography that is a lot simpler than AKB48’s big hit last year, “Koisuru Fortune Cookie”.
Watanabe Mayu, Sashihara Rino, Kashiwagi Yuki and other senbatsu members only needed around 5 to 10 minutes to remember the choreography to Kokoro no Placard.
With Tanigawa Eiji as the director, the PV was shot at Shizuoka on June, involving well over 550 extras in the making.
