AKB48’s classic and hit songs: Relive your youth! A comprehensive introduction to their popular tracks

I can’t help but love you.AKB48

I absolutely love you Music Video / AKB48 61st Single [Official]

This AKB48 song portrays a bittersweet yet passionate love.

The distance between two people separated by a railroad crossing is used symbolically, and the protagonist’s belief that their feelings will be conveyed even if drowned out by the sound of passing trains is deeply moving.

Released in April 2023, the track made its debut on TBS’s “CDTV Live! Live!” and became a hot topic.

Professional dancers participated in the choreography, and the music video, set in a school, depicts each member shining as the protagonist.

It’s a song that brings back memories of the sweet and sour romance of youth that everyone has experienced, so I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with love.

Dance “Heavy Rotation”AKB48

Let’s dance to AKB48’s signature song, ‘Heavy Rotation’! When it comes to AKB group dances, having more people makes it look more impressive.

There are many moves, but they’re all simple, so I think it’s an easy song to dance to.

True to an idol song, the choreography is cute.

Coordinating costumes will make it even more exciting!

A single released by AKB48 in 2017.

It was used as the theme song for a morning drama and became a big hit.

In our daily working lives, not everything goes well.

There are times when all you can do is sigh and say, “Haa…” But when things aren’t going smoothly, why not try changing your perspective to, “This is just a preparatory phase for moving on to the next step”? It’s a song that helps calm your mind in that way.

It feels like AKB48 has finally ventured into the genre of “ondo,” huh… That’s the vibe.

It’s a song that flows with a slow, “ha—sore!” kind of groove.

With Yasushi Akimoto on lyrics, even though it’s called an ondo, the romantic storyline is depicted clearly.
