Shut up!HKT48

The song “Shekarashika!” is a collaboration between HKT48, an idol group based in Hakata, and Kishidan.

Released in 2015 as HKT48’s sixth single, Haruka Kodama served as the center.

The title “Shekarashika!” means “noisy/annoying” in the Hakata dialect.

It’s practically picking a fight right from the title (lol).

Although it’s performed by a female idol group, the song seems to present a romance perspective from a male point of view.

Even so, it’s expressed in a cute, idol-like way.

It’s a summer song by HKT48, an idol group based in Fukuoka, that makes you want to head to the beach! The piano melody in the intro gives off a slightly sensitive and delicate vibe.

But once the vocals start, it flips—suddenly you can feel like you’re on a blazing, sun-drenched beach! The lyrics portray a protagonist who’s had a long-term crush and finally works up the courage to confess, making it the quintessential “summer love song.” After listening, why not tell that special someone how you feel, too?
