AKB48 "Koi Suru Fortune Cookie" on YouTube

"Koi Suru Fortune Cookie" (恋するフォーチュンクッキー Koisuru Fōchunkukkī, "The Fall-in-Love Fortune Cookie") is the 32nd single by the Japanese idol girl group AKB48. It was released in Japan on August 21, 2013. The lineup for the title track and supporting B-sides was determined by the results from the 2013 AKB48 general election, of which the winner was Rino Sashihara of AKB48 sister group HKT48.[1] The single contains graduation songs for Mariko Shinoda and Tomomi Itano.[n 1]

A version of the song titled "Fortune Cookie In Love -Fortune Cookie Yang Mencinta-" was simultaneously released on August 21 for Indonesia by AKB48 sister group JKT48[2][3]

2013 general election

The lineup for the title track and supporting B-sides was determined by the results from the AKB48's 2013 general election.[1] Rino Sashihara of HKT48 received the most votes and became the center, or headlining position, for the single.[1] This is Sashihara's first time as a center for an AKB48 single.

The participants in the single included members who had graduated or announced graduation plans. AKB48 member Mariko Shinoda, who placed fifth overall in the election, announced on the election results day that she would be graduating;[4] her ceremony was held on July 21.[5] Tomomi Itano, who placed 11th overall, had announced her intent to graduate back in February 2013.[6] Natsumi Hirajima, a candidate who had already graduated prior to the election voting period, placed 62nd overall.[1]

Promotion and release

On June 23, AKB48 member Rino Sashihara announced on Fuji TV's late-night show, AKB Eizou Center, that the title of the 32nd single would be "Koi Suru Fortune Cookie" and a release date of August 21.[7]

The single was released in four versions: Type A, Type K, Type B and Theater Edition. The non-theater versions have limited editions for their first pressings. While each regular edition has one of 50 different kinds of photos,[8] each limited edition has one of two types of tickets for a handshake event.[9]

The title song was first performed in the TBS show "Ongaku no hi" (Japanese: 音楽の日) on June 29.[10]

Music video

Street in front of HKT48 theatre, one of filming points of the music video

The "Koi Suru Fortune Cookie" music video was filmed on June 22, in Fukuoka, HKT48's home and where AKB48 member Mariko Shinoda is from.[7] It involved 3,800 extras,[11] the most for any AKB48 and sister group-related video since "Banzai Venus" which had about 1,000 people.[12]

The choreography was done by Papaya Suzuki. Some of the AKB48 members commented on the music video. Mayu Watanabe said "It makes you feel like telling your fortunes". Tomomi Itano said "It's a song you can liven up with everyone, and is also an enjoyable song, as you can copy the choreography with others." Minami Takahashi said "It's somehow nostalgic. It's like a large-scale disco."[7]

On July 19, AKB48 released the Staff Version of the music video, which shows 365 members of the AKB48 staff and its sister groups performing some of the dance moves. The video was shot in seven days.[3][13] The staff video was listed as the most watched YouTube video in Japan for the 2013 year with over 8 million views.[14]

In other media

In March 2014, "Koi Suru Fortune Cookie" was listed as one of the songs on the Japanese edition of Just Dance Wii U[15][16]
