[Drama] AKB48 - 35th Single 前しか向かねえ Mae Shika Mukanee

Just like the previous two singles released, AKB48 have included a 22 minutes short drama in this single as well. But unlike the last two drama, this one was filmed with a higher budget that can be aired as a featured film in the cinemas in my opinion, and with an interesting plot line of the Earth (or Japan, since we do not know if this is international wide or not) being in an apocalypse of some sort (Might be a zombie or disease apocalypse,but we will never know). I reckon AKB48 and any of the other sister groups should include a short drama or something similar in each of their singles, since this can let the girls practise their acting skills, but that is only if they have the time and resources to film.

Anyways... It will be me again, TAKA, doing the pleasure of writing the review for this single's drama, even if I'm not that good at all in writing a review since I'm bad at trying to convey what I think.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

*PLEASE DON'T SCROLL DOWN IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS*

*P.S. The review will be my perspective of the drama and I may say something that you guys will not agree with and perhaps set off some disagreements. If that is indeed the case, please don't bash me.*

From the beginning, we can see our senbatsu members in somewhat ripped and dirty clothing, following by a long shot of Mayu holding what I suspect is a M16 rifle?. This suggested to me that something had happened to Earth, perhaps a Zombie (or any kind of creature) apocalypse since it required the members to have some sort of a weapon to protect themselves, especially what they are wearing as well. Well... except for Kojiharu who is wearing high heels and a dress like she was about to go on a date... LOL!
I'm not that professional when it comes to guns but I still know a few from playing games such as Resident Evil series and so on, so if that is not a M16 please correct me!! And I love love LOVE the story line of an apocalypse!!!

[Drama] AKB48 - 34th single 鈴懸の木の道で「君の微笑みを夢に見る」と言ってしまったら僕たちの関係はどう変わってしまうのか、僕なりに何日か考えた上でのやや気恥ずかしい結論のようなもの / 鈴懸なんちゃら Suzukake Nanchara

Just saying... This gif is really big... (around 7 MB)
But I just gotta gif this part because is so damn pretty~
sorry if I drain you guys internet...

Finally, I have time to write a review on the short drama of Suzukake Nanchara which was released ages ago on the 11th of December last year. I know I was suppose to do this within like a week of its release but work and other stuff just caught up with me and I just didn't have enough time to focus on it... This review would be like a personal view of it I guess, because I am just not used to what critics actually do... (*´_ゝ｀)

Anyways... It is going to be quite long I think and there is alot of screenshoots so I'll get on with my review~

The drama begins in the year of 2003, with Jurina, Shizuka, Emika, Mina and Rie burying a time capsule containing stuff that they would want to bury and look at after 10 years. I guess with them starting off the drama, that means they are the main characters but I wonder why isn't it the top 5 members.... Oh well~ Along with a soft piano playing as background music, I reckon this short drama has started off really well to set where the story is heading and created the appropriate atmosphere.
I have always wanted to bury a time capsule myself actually xD
