AKB48 will be releasing their 19th single in December, and which members will sing will be chosen by "Janken (rock-paper-scissors)".

The "Janken selection tournament" will be held at Nippon Budokan on September 21st, and 16 lucky members will be able to cooperate in the new single, with the final champion getting to be the center member. � This time, all they need is a bit of luck, so even Oshima Yuko or Maeda Atsuko can be eliminated if they lose, even though they are part of the main members.

Before the "Janken selection", they released the book titled "AKB48 Janken senbatsu official guide book" on August 31st, and it sold 59,000 copies. �On the Oricon weekly book chart (for talent books section) for 9/13, the "Janken senbatsu" book won the No. 1 spot.

Let's see who the lucky members will be in a couple weeks.
