Coupled with the 1st single, this song was formed with Haruka Kodama as the center.

As a track to mark the start of HKT48’s journey, hasn’t it turned out to be a really good one? Their clear, translucent voices may be fresh, but you can also feel a certain strength in them.

This is their eighth single, released on September 7, 2016.

The song includes call-and-response mixes, so it might be a great track for new fans to learn how to get into the groove.

Can you tie a cherry stem?HKT48 4kisei

This is a song included on the 10th single, “Do We Have No Choice but to Wait for a Kiss?”.

The title is striking, and I was nervous wondering what kind of song it would be, but it turned out to be a refreshing, pop track that feels very idol-like and exudes HKT48’s trademark fresh vibe.

It’s sung by HKT48’s 4th-generation members, and they’re all truly adorable, so I hope this song gives you a chance to get to know the 4th gen.

It’s a Team KII song included on “12 Byou.” As the title suggests, it clearly expresses the feelings of a girl invited to Hawaii.

The music video faithfully recreates places like the security checkpoint, and it has a fresh, Hawaii-inspired vibe.

This is a Team KIV song included on “Shekarashika!”.

As the title suggests, it’s a track that sings wholeheartedly about Team KIV.

Perhaps because it’s included on “Shekarashika!”, it’s interesting that the musical style is somewhat similar, too.

Misheard RockHKT48 chīmu Tī

Misheard RockHKT48 chīmu Tī

It’s a song by Team KII included in “Saikou kayo.” As you can tell from the title and the music video, the track is rock-based.

The members in the MV are dressed in a rock style, but their singing and dancing still show a touch of cuteness.

A pure, refreshing song that feels like dashing through the dazzling summer sun.

Released in July 2025 as HKT48’s 19th single, this track sets sweet and slightly bittersweet feelings of love—where a crush’s casual gestures look almost angelic—to a light, buoyant melody.

Listen under the summer blue sky, and your romantic mood is sure to soar! Take this song along and make some wonderful memories.
