[Review] AKB48 - 5th Album 次の足跡 Tsugi no Ashiato

On January 22nd 2014, AKB48's 5th single was finally released. It included the single's song from "Manatsu no sounds good!" to "KFC" for its CD1, and some new and never-recorded songs for CD2. Tsugi no Ashito also made a record of selling 961,531 copies in its first week which was more than 1830m's 870,621.
Anyways... because CD1 is just single's songs, we have decided to just review the never-recorded songs from CD2.
