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;[5] her ceremony was held on July 21.[6] Tomomi Itano, who placed 11th overall, had announced her intent to graduate back in February 2013.[7] 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.[8]

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,[9] each limited edition has one of two types of tickets for a handshake event.[10]

The title song was first performed in the TBS show "Ongaku no hi" (Japanese: 音楽の日) on June 29.[11]

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.[8] It involved 3,800 extras,[12] the most for any AKB48 and sister group-related video since "Banzai Venus" which had about 1,000 people.[13]

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."[8]

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][14] The staff video was listed as the most watched YouTube video in Japan for the 2013 year with over 8 million views.[15]

On August 12, 2016 (2016-08-12) the music video reached 100 million views on YouTube, the second AKB48 music video to achieve this milestone (along with "Heavy Rotation"). This made AKB48 the first Japanese artist to have two music videos with over 100 million views on YouTube.

Similar to its other sister 48 groups, a Vietnamese-adapted version of the song was released as the second single of SGO48 by YAG Entertainment on December 29, 2019, titled "Koisuru Fortune Cookie - Thất tình tích cực." The release also contains Vietnamese version of three other AKB48 songs, namely "Namida Surprise!", "Shoujotachi yo" and "365 nichi no Kamihikouki", with the former having previously performed during the group's participation at the AKB48 Group Asia Festival 2019 in Shanghai. Similar to the group's previous single, all senbatsu performers for the song were pre-selected. It was the first single appearance of member Xuân Ca, and subsequently the last single appearance of Sachi, as well as three other Under Girls: Gia Nghi, Elena, and Celia, with the former having graduated shortly before the single announcement.

To promote the single, an accompanying music video was premiered on their YouTube channel on December 12, 2019, along with another documentary series focusing on the senbatsu announcement and practicing process for the song.

Background and release

Following the group's announcement to host their first Christmas mini show in December 2019, titled Koisuru Xmas Party on November 22, 2019, YAG Entertainment confirmed that Under Girls member Gia Nghi would graduate to focus on studying a week later, with her final activities being on the mini show's date.[52][53] On the same day, the label also revealed the teaser for SGO48's next single to be "Koisuru Fortune Cookie - Thất tình tích cực", with the song being performed live and its accompanying music video being premiered for the first time during the group's Koisuru Xmas Party on December 7, 2019.
