SDN48 made a surprise announcement during their evening performance at the AKB48 Theatre on February 19th. The group announced their 12 senbatsu members (members who will appear in the single’s PV) for their second single “Ai, Juseyo”, which will be released on March 23rd. “Juseyo” is Korean for “kudasai”, or “please”.

Fans selected the senbatsu members for SDN48’s major debut song, “GAGAGA”, but this time their producer - Akimoto Yasushi (54) -made the choice.


The 12 senbatsu members are as follows: Umeda Haruka, Kato Mami, Kouchi Masami, Kohara Haruka, Kando Sayaka, Sato Yukari, Serina, Aikawa Yuuki, Takahashi Yui, Tanisaki Tomomi, Akuda Akane and Fujikoso Yumi.

Meanwhile, the single’s coupling song - “Tengoku no Door wa 3 Kaime no Bell de Hiraku” – will be done by ‘Undergirls A’: Ohori Megumi, Noro Kayo, KONAN, Urano Kazumi, Akita Kazue, Chen Qu, Tezuka Machiko, Hatakeyama Chisaki, Ito Mana, Kimoto Yuuki, Ninomiya Yuka and Matsushima Rumi.

The single will come in two versions, each with a unique song. Type-A will have the song “Awajishima no TAMANEGI”, which will be sung by ‘Undergirls B’ (Imayoshi Megumi, Okouchi Misa, Kaida Juri, Nachu, Mitsui Hiromi, Akiko, Oyama Aimi, Tsuda Marina, Natsuko and Hosoda Miyuu).

Type-B will have a solo song by Nishikunihara Reiko called “Ai yo Ugokanai de”.

Both versions will include a DVD, which feature a clip of SDN48’s surprise announcement, as well as their sexy music video. Type-A’s DVD will also include a documentary video of the senbatsu members, while Type-B’s DVD will include a documentary of their “GAGAGA” in Korea.
