AKB48 unveils cover jackets for their new single, "FLYING GET"

allkpop



Popular idol group AKB48 has unveiled their cover jackets for their upcoming single, "FLYING GET"!

The 21-senbatsu members for this single were chosen from the "3rd AKB48 Senbatsu General Election", held on June 9th at the Nippon Budoukan. Maeda Atsuko, who received approximately 140,000 votes, will be in the center position alongside Oshima Yuko (2nd place) and Kashiwagi Yuki (3rd place).

"Flying Get" will have two different jackets for its two release types: 'Type A' and 'Type B'. Both will feature the 'media senbatsu' (or the top 12 girls), which include Maeda Atsuko, Oshima Yuko, Kashiwagi Yuki, Shinoda Mariko, Watanabe Mayu, Kojima Haruna, Takahashi Minami, Itano Tomomi, Sashihara Rino, Matsui Rena, Miyazawa Sae, and Takajo Aki.

Interestingly enough, the jacket for 'Type A' sports a look similar to that of the classic movie poster for 'Akai Hachigatsu ~ Ch?j? Kessen-hen'; the title was also written in kanji characters as well.

In both versions, fans can find the title track, "FLYING GET", which is also being used as the theme song for 'Hanazakari no Kimitachie ~Ikemen Paradise~ 2011". Meanwhile, the coupling track was revealed to be called, "Dakishimecha ikenai", and it's sung by the 'Under Girls' (girls who ranked 22nd to 40th place in the 'Senbatsu General Election')

There will be some differences in the two releases, however, as 'Type A' will include "Seishun to Kizukanaimama", the theme song for AKB48's drama 'Majisuka Gakuen 2'. Type B will come with Eguchi Aimi's commercial song "Aisu�no Kuchizuke".

"FLYING GET" will be released on August 24th, but until then, check out the album jackets below!
