Twin Tail wa Mou Shinai (“I Won’t Do My Hair in Twintails Anymore”)
“I’ll graduate from twintails.”
OR: A girl who’s been saddled with a “childish” image longer than she likes has had enough of her iconic pigtails.

KISU no te mae dakedo...
Nobody has
Noticed
That I’ve started putting on lipstick yet!
I've tried looking grownup
In front of my mom
and my big sister so many times...
Even though I’m more of an adult
Than I look,
I’m always treated like a child
I can also fall in love,
Even though I’ve never gotten kissed before...
shishunki ni wa

During puberty
Everyone
Is in a hurry to grow up, right?¹

Enough, I’ll stop wearing twintails already
They're my ever non-changing image
Yes, it'll be like meeting a brand-new me, right?
Hairstyles are
Quick and easy
I’ll graduate from twintails

Even my
Closest friends
Tell me I’m childish
They’ll be surprised, though
My sex appeal will
Soon come out, alright!
In my own way, I’ve filled out
In several places here and there
Just a little bit more
Than last year,
And I’m putting on high heels

Since I’m the one who
understands myself

Enough, I’ll stop wearing twintails already
They made me look like a little girl
Hey, if I untie my long hair,
I'm a completely different person, right?
Girls can
Switch their appearance at the drop of a hat
I want to grow up quickly

I’ll stop wearing twintails already
After all, I want a boyfriend

¹Literally "overstretches themselves", usually referring to overdoing it in your effort to seem bigger than you actually are.
(Also, for any new 48G fans, this song was meta as heck when it first came out, as a few months prior, Watanabe Mayu had gradually shifted from her trademark pigtails to a ponytail/loose hair and this confirmed her wota’s worst fears, lol.)
This was released as a collaborative b-side with Nogizaka46 under the title “Mayuzaka46″.
Most likely to be the next center in AKB, Mayuyu, joins forces with what should be their rivals... LOL, and the result is adorable!
Not weird, since the Nogizaka pack featured on Mayuyu's dorama... also, in that dorama, she was kind of transfered for a short time to become their center...
Aki-P sure is a troll... they shouldn't be collaborating, but battleling... and instead of such a sweet PV, it should be a kind of mecha-battle thing LOL
