Personally I think the covers are adorable and really seem to set the theme for the single. I’m not too keen on how spread out the “AKB48″ is, but I think the font itself is gorgeous, and the jacket photos even more so. The Limited Edition covers with the girls jumping are really pretty, although the downside is is that it’s hard to see all of the girls, especially in the Limited Edition B version because not all of their faces seem to be facing on the camera.
On the plus side, Takamina looks absolutely fantastic in both B-Type covers 

I’m not a huge fan of her hair being pulled back the way it is, but still, I can’t help fangasming over how awesome and cool she looks 

(Can you tell which versions I’ll be buying? XD)
The single hits stores on February 16th - a great belated Valentine’s Day gift! – so preorder your copies and cross your fingers for a preview of the song or the PV soon!
