"Sayonara Crawl" (さよならクロール, Sayonara Kurōru, "Goodbye Crawl") is the 31st single by the Japanese idol girl group AKB48; it was released in Japan on May 22, 2013.[1]

As of the release day, the CD single "Sayonara Crawl" had been shipped in 2.3 million copies, besting the group's previous record of 2.0 million from "Manatsu no Sounds Good!".[2] As of June 16, 2013, over 1.9 million copies have been sold.[3]

On 21 March 2022, Thai version of "Sayonara Crawl" has been sung by the combination members of BNK48 and CGM48.

Release

The single was released in the form of several different editions: 3 generally distributed editions titled Type A, Type K, and Type B and Theater Edition to be sold at the AKB48 Theater.

There are also limited editions of Types A, K, and B. All editions contained a voting card for the AKB48 2013 General Election to determine the lineup for the group's 32nd single.

The release marks the first time the group has presented a “quadruple center” lineup for the title track. The centers are: Tomomi Itano, Yuko Oshima, Haruka Shimazaki and Mayu Watanabe.[4]

This is also the first time where Tomomi Itano performed as the center in AKB48 Single, but this time, in a Quadruple Center Format. This is the last single to feature members Sayaka Akimoto, Natsumi Matsubara, Tomomi Nakatsuka, Mika Komori, and Shiori Nakamata.

"Hasute to Wasute"

Center: Rina Kawaei

Note: This song is the result of a special episode of Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!, in which fifteen members of AKB48 participated in a surprise end-of-term exam to determine the "Center Baka" (センターバカ; Idiot Center). The seven members who ranked in the lower half of the class were named the "Baka 7" (バカ7; Seven Idiots), with Kawaei Rina becoming the "Center Baka" for placing last and performs with a harness on, with 'Hasute' and 'Wasute'. The title of the song comes from "Hasute to wasute ga nakayoku tsukutta" (ハステとワステが仲良く作った; "Haste and Waste made friends"), which was Kawaei's answer for translating "Haste makes waste" into Japanese. The title of the song is based on one of the answers Kawaei Rina gave in her test. The question was to translate the English phrase "Haste makes waste" into Japanese. Kawaei gave the answer ハステとワステが仲良く作った (Hasute and Wasute made friendly together), believing Haste and waste to be names. Listed in parentheses are each member's test rankings.

The performing members consist of the "Baka 7", the members with the lowest scores on a test on Japanese, maths, general knowledge, science and English, taken on the 'Mechaike Bakajo Test' dokkiri special. The ranking from lowest to highest was: Baka 7: Kawaei Rina (239), Takahashi Minami (259), Kojima Haruna (261), Shimazaki Haruka (278), Minegishi Minami (288), Sashihara Rino (293), Kashiwagi Yuki (323)
