AKB48 now has sustainable center for upcoming single
/2019 has been a pretty quiet year for the mega idol group AKB48 so far with the only release for the group this year being “Jiwaru Days” which came out in March. Last year they had a release for each quarter of the year and by this time we had “Jabaja” and “Teacher Teacher”. Well, we finally know the second single to be released for the year. It will be titled “サステナブル” (Sustainable) and will be released September 18.
Around this date will be when the senbatsu song would normally come out, as “Sentimental Train” was released last year September 9, but this year there was no senbatsu so it has been unknown for awhile who will be serving as the center for “Sustainable”. However, now we finally have the answer to this question. Yahagi Moeka has been revealed to be the new center for “Sustainable” and this will be Yahagi’s first time serving as the center. Also, in commemoration of being center for the first time, Yahagi is also getting her very first photobook, which will be released August 7. If you are interested you can pre-order it here.
“Sustainable” will be released in a flurry of editions, six in total. There will be three standard editions and three limited editions. Both the standard and limited editions will manifest in types A, B, and C, with all of the editions including a CD and DVD, but the limited editions will also feature event tickets that will only be redeemable in Japan. You can pre-order you copy of “Sustainable” here.
