"Kokoro no Placard" (心のプラカード Kokoro no Purakādo?, "The Heart's Placard") is the 37th single by the Japanese idol group AKB48. It was released in Japan on August 27, 2014.[1] It was the 5th best-selling single of the year in Japan, with 1,058,059 copies.[2]

2014 general election

The lineup for the title track and supporting B-sides was determined by the results from the AKB48's 2014 general election.[3] Mayu Watanabe of ABK48's Team B received the most votes and became the center, or headlining performer, for the single.[1][3][4]

Promotion and release

The single was released in five types: Type A (two versions: regular and limited), Type K (regular and limited), Type B (regular and limited), Type D (regular and limited) and the Theater Edition.

The lyrics of the song were written by Yasushi Akimoto, the music composed by Yusuke Itagaki.

The full version of MV has not been released along with the single "Kibouteki Refrain", and due to the delay, was released a week later, on December 1.

Reception

The single debuted at number one in the Oricon Daily Singles Chart with 871,923 copies sold on the first day.[4][5][6] It reached number-one on the weekly Oricon Singles Chart.[7]
