AKB48 Journal

Akimoto Yasushi – 13:59 – Mobile – Public

Had meeting for Matsui Sakiko solo album. He must be very busy, but the composer and arranger Hattori Takayuki has voiced several complaint about this, and I accepted those gladly.

Basically there will be instrumentals of AKB48 hit songs, also “Anthem of Gugutasu* Republic”, “Anthem of Utsui Ken’s Kaatsu Training”, “Anthem of ggrks**”, “Anthem of Mune Netsu***”, etc.
I’ve asked (the composer) so “Anthem of Gugutasu Republic” could sound like Afrika ethnic music.

CD jacket will be done by AKB art club.

The release date is around summer, perhaps.

*Gugutasu = abbreviation from Google (read as ‘guguru’ in Japanese) and Tasu (how you read ‘+’ sign in Japanese)
**No idea about ggrks
***Mune netsu = literally ‘fevering chest’, a condition where your heart feels like burning with indescribable emotion or passion towards something.
