The guy next to me looks cool.HKT48 purachina gāruzu
A track included on HKT48’s 10th single “Kiss wa Matsu Shikanai no Deshou ka?” TYPE-A, this song kicks off with the chant and rhythm of “Da-da-da!” Its distinctive phrases stick in your head after just one listen.
It’s a bittersweet love song about feelings for a boy who might get swooped up by someone else if you don’t act fast.
Mean kissHKT48 Yabuki Nako
It’s a solo song by HKT48 member Nako Yabuki, included on “Shekarashika!”.
The music video is styled after old-school idol TV shows, and many fans were moved by how, despite her youth, she blended naturally into that retro setting, singing and dancing.
Please, Valentin.HKT48
This song is included on “Suki! Suki! Skip!”.
It’s a quintessential love song that expresses a girl’s feelings of being in love.
It’s become just as popular as the title track, “Suki! Suki! Skip!”.
It was also used in a commercial.
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.
Why do flip-flops go missing?HKT48
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try a cute finger dance.
“Why Do Flip-Flops Go Missing?” is an emotional youth song about the thrill of love, released in 2022 by HKT48, one of Fukuoka’s leading idol groups.
Centered around the hashtag #ビーサンチャレンジ (#BisaanChallenge), the lovable finger-heart dance has become popular.
It’s nice that it’s not too difficult.
Be sure to check out the demo video by Nako Yabuki, who served as the center.
With lyrics that weave memories together, this song is both emotional and irresistibly cute!
HKT48’s classic and popular songs (41–50)
I’ll always be by your side.HKT48
The lyrics tell of a sad farewell with someone dear.
It’s a song by the idol group HKT48, included on their 12th single “Ishi,” released in 2019.
The gentle melody and vocals are soothing.
How about listening to it after a heartbreak? It’s also recommended as a graduation song.
By the way, it was the last single featuring Rino Sashihara.
Why do flip-flops go missing?HKT48
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?
