AKB48 have announced their 42nd single.

This will be the last single to feature Takahashi Minami, who will be graduating on the 10 year anniversary of the group a day before the release of the single.

New singles are perfect since it means more content for fans and hot off the heels of their recent release Halloween Night we get a new release that is sure to please everyone. No other details are known apart from the date so we don’t have much to go off on.

As for this being Takahashi’s last single with the group, this is a sad occasion since she has been with the group since it first started and has become a regular face in releases. Personally, she was my favorite from the group so it will be a bit sad to see her leave but this single is the perfect opportunity for her to show off her vocal skills one more time as part of AKB48.

The release date is set for December 9, with Minami graduating on December 8.
