MNL48’s latest single “Pag-ibig Fortune Cookie” is here! Coming from the heels of their successful first single “Aitakatta-Gustong Makita”, the second single is the local version of one of AKB48’s biggest hits, “Koisuru Fortune Cookie”.
The album consists of six tracks you can enjoy:
- Pag-Ibig Fortune Cookie by MNL48 Senbatsu
- Palusot ko’y Maybe by MNL48 NⅣ
- First Rabbit by MNL48 Senbatsu
- Pag-Ibig Fortune Cookie(instrumental)
- Palusot ko’y Maybe(instrumental)
- First Rabbit(instrumental)
“Koisuru Fortune Cookie” is AKB48’s 32nd single. It was released in Japan on August 21, 2013. The lineup for the title track and supporting B-sides was determined by the results from the 2013 AKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo. It was also the first time Sashihara Rino won the election (she will go on to win three more times for a grand total of four…the most in AKB48 history).
Other sister groups have also released their own versions. JKT48 released their version at the same time as AKB48’s. Former 48 Group member SNH48 followed in November of the same year. BNK48 followed suit last year, releasing it on December 20, 2017.
The pre-order of the album started on November 25, 2018 at the Hallo Hall Mall (mall.hallohallo.com). Like the previous single, shipping is free nationwide. This single will also come with a pre-order bonus: one copy includes a ticket to the next Handshake event. But customers who will pre-order the album will get an additional one Handshake event. This means that you get two tickets for the price of one!
This is important, as it gives fans an added incentive to pre-order, and buying four copies, for example, will give you a total of 8 tickets. Pre-orders will be prioritized before the album is officially released in the online stores and music outlets.
