HKT48 sings the Hakata dialect version of AKB48’s “Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara.” Many men seem to find it really appealing when women sing in dialect, and even if you don’t fully understand the words, you can still enjoy the vibe.

By the way, NMB48 sings the Osaka dialect version titled “Kimi no Koto ga Suki Yanen.”

This is the graduation song of Chihiro Anai, formerly of HKT48.

It depicts the shift from the path where she pursued her dreams alongside her teammates to a new path where she chases new dreams.

It’s a moving farewell song about parting from beloved friends and sending off those who have resolved to embark on a new journey.

This is also a Valentine’s song by HKT48.

It’s a pop track that makes you feel happy when you listen, but it also has a slightly bittersweet touch.

With cute girls dancing, it’s an irresistibly charming song that might just make your heart skip a beat.

HKT48’s new song paints a bittersweet portrait of youth.

Centered on the themes of “empathy” and “indifference” in social issues and human relationships, it tackles the challenges of contemporary society.

It sings about the importance of looking at others’ suffering without being swayed by edited news or surface-level information.

Released in September 2024, the song also drew attention as Hana Matsuoka’s final work before her graduation.

You’ll surely relate to the lyrics, which depict the journey of overcoming indifference toward others and discovering true love.

Rino Sashihara, known as a popular member of the AKB Group, has a song titled “Ishi” (Will), which became her last single before graduation.

It’s a refreshing, classic idol tune.

While it carries a bright mood, it also has a touch of poignancy, making it a good way to express the feelings of those who have worked hard toward school festivals or cultural festivals.

It might also be fun to copy HKT48’s choreography.
