After releasing the smash hit single RIVER in October last year, 48-member girl group AKB48 has a new single, called Sakura no shoiri, scheduled to be out in stores on February 17th.

For this single, the girls formed new sub-teams within AKB48 called PB and YJ. Each of these new teams have recorded one new song to be featured in the CD, which are, respectively, Enkyori Poster and Choose me!. Team PB's song is included in the type A, while team YJ's track is part of the type B.

All four songs recorded for the single, Sakura no shiori, the b-side Magical Rock 'n Roll and both Enkyori Poster and Choose me! are included in the "theater" version of the release.

On the other hand, the types A and B are different from each other. In addition to having a DVD with the music videos of the title track and the b-side, each type also has the PV of its respective sub-team song and footage from the standing performances "Sotsugyou omedetou" (type A) and "Honto wa suki deshita" (type B)
