From February to March, Zhu Zi has been traveling outside with the members of AKB.

After returning to Tokyo, Minami Takahashi announced that he would be graduating from AKB.

For this girl, it's time for her AKB career to come to an end.

Minami Takahashi announced his graduation, leaving only Yona Kojima as the only member of the first semester.

At the same time, Yona Kojima announced that she had also withdrawn from this year's general election.

The first-term students seem to have come to an end.

Before you know it, the month of June is coming, and the general elections are about to be held.

Two members of Nogizaka 46 have been relieved of their part-time duties and returned to their own groups.

Prior to that, in late May, AKB's 40th single was released.

Continuing the AKB48 Group's tradition, this single will also be released in multiple versions of one single song, with a total of 5 types of releases: Type-A, Type-B, Type-C, Type-D, and Theatrical Plates, and Type-A, -B, -C, and -D will be sold in a limited edition with a ticket for participating in the event and a regular edition with a photo shoot inside. The first limited edition of each edition is in the same packaging as the regular edition, with only the difference in contents.

All 5 CDs come with a time-limited card for the 41st single selection of AKB48 for the final election.

The selection list and center of the main A-side song were announced during the encore period of "AKB48 Spring Solo Concert ~The Second Episode is Now Training!~" held at Saitama Super Arena on March 26, 2015, and the song was first revealed, and it was first performed on TV on the TBS variety show "All-Star Thanksgiving Festival" on April 4, 2015, and the version performed by 32 members on "AKB48 SHO!" on May 9 on the air. The MV for the title song "We Don't Fight" was directed by the well-known director Keishi Otomo.

In the B-side song, in addition to "Summer side" sung by the team "Selection 16" composed of members who did not appear in the A-side song, the four general versions of Type-A, -B, -C, and -D each include a B-side song sung by different teams.

This single sold 1 million copies on the first day of release, making it the 9th single of AKB48 to sell 1 million copies on the first day. If it is achieved on the first day, it will be the 21st consecutive single and the 22nd single after the single "Turning into a Cherry Blossom Tree" to achieve million sales. On June 1, 2015, he won the weekly crown on the Oricon chart, which is the 27th consecutive single record after "RIVER". In the first week, sales totaled about 1.673 million copies, second only to "Goodbye Freestyle", which sold 1.763 million copies.

This single was the number one singles chart of the year in 2015, and it also made AKB reach the number one singles chart of the year for the sixth consecutive year.
