The music video for AKB48's 61st single "I Just Want to Love You" to be released on Wednesday, April 26th has been released! *The multiple subtitles are also available. The director of this music video is NANASARI TAMURA (KIENGI). With the theme of "everyone being a student, there was a moment when they became the protagonist. I made a music video that would evoke such a scene in a distant and vague memory," and the work depicts "a page of youth" that shines a light on the moment when each of the 16 members shines as the protagonist in places such as school classrooms, libraries, broadcasting rooms, health rooms, and pools. Honda Hitomi, who is in the center, is set as the dance club captain, making use of her dancing skills. Kashiwagi Yuki is set as a trombone player in the brass band, which is linked to her own school days. Yamazaki Sora, who is being selected for the first time, also links to the swimming she has been learning for 10 years and challenges herself to a fantastic scene of standing on the surface of the pool. The other members are also linked to their real school experiences, skills, and images, and the moment when each one shines as the protagonist is expressed in a beautiful video containing fantasy elements. Please pay attention to the situations of each member! The choreography for this work is handled by Team "S", a specialist team of professional dancers active at the forefront. In the dance scene that concludes the MV, you can't take your eyes off the "Inu Musubi Dance" and the formation that only 16 people can shine! It is a MV that everyone can recall their own youth and overlap the emotions they felt at that time. Please enjoy it as many times as you like ♪ [I Just Love You] Lyrics: Yasushi Akimoto Composition: Nasca Arrangement: Yuichi Nonaka "Masa" ■ Available on all subscription and download sites! https://lnk.to/AKB48_DKSes ■AKB48 61st single selected members: Momoka Onishi, Maho Omori, Rin Okabe, Yui Oguri, Erina Oda, Yuki Kashiwagi, Narumi Kuranoo, Kisei Sato, Eri Chiba, Hitomi Honda, Yuki Hirata, Mion Mukaiichi, Ayaka Murayama, Shinobu Mogi, Mizuki Yamauchi, Sora Yamazaki ■AKB48 61st single information ●Release date: Wednesday, April 26, 2023 ●Title: I Just Want You to Love You Price: ¥1,700 (¥1,545 excluding tax) Format: [CD + DVD] *There will be 3 types in total, the first limited edition TYPE-A to C, 3 types in total, the regular edition TYPE-A to C, and 1 type of Official Shop edition, for a total of 7 types. *The jacket visuals for all formats are different.
