Watching them dance on the grassland, they’re so fresh and pure—it’s soothing, isn’t it? HKT48 back in their early, budding idol days.

This is one of the tracks included on the 9th single, “Bugtte Ii Jan.” The lyrics are really great.

It’s a straightforward love song about how the two meeting wasn’t by chance but by fate, and how nothing will shake their bond no matter what happens.

The music video is adorable, with colorful, cute idol-like outfits, and the song has a pop, easy-to-listen-to sound—so I definitely recommend giving it a listen!

In this song, a shy girl’s unrequited love is sung over a poppy, high-energy melody.

Haruka Kodama served as center for the first time, and it became a hot topic as a landmark single for the reborn HKT.

It’s a classic love song.

This is the quintessential idol song! With lyrics and a title steeped in the Akimoto Yasushi world, plus adorable costumes, it’s a track that soothes both to listen to and to watch.

The way they cutely sing the innovative line “I’ll dust you with flour!” really shows they’re true idols, no two ways about it.

It’s a song by Diamond Girls included on “Kiss wa Matsu Shikanai no Deshouka?”.

In the chorus of the music video, the members line up in a single row and perform a coordinated dance using notebooks.

The innovative idea of incorporating notebooks is one of the track’s key charms.

It’s a Team H song included on “Shekarashika!” The music video, based on a red-and-black color scheme, exudes sexiness, but when you see the members dancing with smiles, you can also feel their cuteness—truly a track that gives you the best of both worlds.
