[MV full] Heart Electric -Dance ver.- / AKB48 [Official]

AKB48’s 33rd major single, released in 2013.

This song features Haruna Kojima in the center position.

As you can tell from the intro, it’s a track inspired by Group Sounds, and the lyrics have a retro feel.

The tambourine rings out crisply in the chorus—if you sing it at karaoke, be sure to shake a tambourine while you sing.

It’ll definitely get the crowd going!

It’s a straight-up wedding song by AKB48 that was also used in a Zexy commercial.

The music video drew attention for featuring member Rino Sashihara as the bride in a wedding dress and Yoshimura from Heisei Nobushikobushi as the groom.

It’s a memorable classic that lingers in the heart, wishing for happiness.

Even AKB48, the idol group that dominated an era, has a staple Christmas song.

It may be less well-known compared to their massive hit singles, so many people might not know it, but it’s crafted in their signature style, making it perfect for singing at karaoke.

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.

Skirt fluttering

AKB48’s second CD release and their second indie single.

It sings about the feelings of a girl who can’t confess her love.

The C-melody solo by Atsuko Maeda is a must-hear for any AKB48 fan.

In the music video, a key point is that they actually flip their skirts during the chorus.

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!
