AKB48's upcoming single, "Beginner", has been a hot topic on the internet due to the nature of its PV.

The original PV contains quite a bit of controversial scenes, such as Kojima Haruna's face being chopped into half, Oshima Yuko getting stabbed by black thick needle looking thing, and Maeda Atsuko chopping her own arm off. �Though it was shown at "AKB48 19th Single Senbatsu Janken Taikai" on September 21st, and also at "AKB48 Tokyo Autumn Festival" on October 10th, they released a different "dance version" PV which was a much different PV than the original.

On October 15th, King Records made an official announcement about the music clip, "The music clip version of 'Beginner' that will be included on the release of AKB48's new single (scheduled to be released October 27th) will be different from the original music clip version of 'Beginner' that was shown at 'AKB48 19th single Senbatsu Janken Taikai' on September 21st, and also at 'AKB48 Tokyo Autumn Festival' on October 10th. �Also, some parts that were shown in TV spots were from the original version, but those will also not be included with the single. �The original music clip version will only be distributed through Recochoku starting on October 27th at midnight. �The music clip does contain some controversial scenes, so please read the notice carefully, and download it at your own discretion."

Check out the video that has been released as the "dance version" below, along with the CM, which shows parts of the "original version".
