Negaigoto no Mochigusare (願いごとの持ち腐れ, "Useless Wish") is the 48th single by AKB48, released on May 31, 2017. The title song was first performed live on NCON, a traditional school choir contest promoted by NHK, and later on other shows Minna no Uta and AKB48 Show where this song made their its TV appearances.

The single was number-one on the Oricon weekly Singles Chart, with 1,305,747 copies sold, and was also number-one the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

Abstract

The song is reminiscent of Russian folk songs, and moves at an almost waltzing tempo.

An original song performed by STU48, "Setouchi no Koe", was included as coupling song, however, as the Theater Edition does not come with bonus DVD included, the full MV was released on the official STU48 channel and later included in the bonus disc from debut single "Kurayami".

Release and promotion

This single will be released in seven versions: three limited editions (Types A, B and C), three regular editions (Types A, B and C) and Theater edition. All types will include the voting tickets for the AKB48 49th Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo to be held in Okinawa on June 17, 2017 (2017-06-17).

For this single, Jurina Matsui & Sakura Miyawaki will serve as double center.

Two versions of music video (Short and Full) were released on AKB48 official channel on May 2, 2017. The Full MV lasts 11 minutes and 6 seconds, marking the third longest AKB48 A-Side music video released on YouTube ("Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai" music video has 11'54", and "Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby" has 13'05"). Due to the length, PlayTV only aired the short version (instead of full version) on Interferência Ichiban on May 8, 2017. This is the first single to release after Kojima Haruna graduated from the group.
