@riripicoxxx3619
このMVだいすき
衣装もカラフルな色彩も編集も振付もメンバーもかわいくて何回も見ちゃう！
@florallucy2053
I found out about AKB and all the sister groups through Produce48 and absolutely have fallen in love with this song! It makes me so happy and cheery whenever I hear it! I'm sorry many new fans from produce 48 haven't been understanding, many of us are trying hard to learn more about them all rather than just the produce 48 girls! 💕
@user-se8yj3gw5r
