An upbeat song sung by an idol. A recommended track that will lift your spirits when you listen to it.

Go! Go! Me!M!LK

Hooray! Hooray! Me! (2023)

M!LK is a group that’s won popularity with their energetic performances and approachable personalities.

While they’re often categorized as classic pop, they actually center on a more shapeshifting concept, and they’re known for songs that really light up live shows.

Among M!LK’s tracks, the one I especially recommend—where the members’ individualities truly explode—is “Hurray! Hurray! Me!” Originally the B-side to the single “Shingakki A La Carte,” released in March 2016, it was re-recorded by the current lineup for the 2023 album “Jewel,” making it an important number that reflects the group’s history.

At concerts, the call-and-response moments that unite the whole venue are absolutely irresistible! It’s perfect when you need a boost of energy or want to dive deeper into their appeal—why not add it to your playlist?

An AKB48 track that puts a hashtag—born from social media—right in the title, singing about modern-day feelings of love.

Released in August 2017 as their 49th single, it’s a classic idol song that makes a bright summer sky unfold just by listening.

Rino Sashihara, who won first place in the 9th General Election, serves as center, and the single proved its overwhelming popularity by going million in its first week.

Many will also remember how the music video, filmed in Okinawa, became a symbolic ‘revenge’ after the General Election there ended up with no audience due to bad weather.

Its bright, exhilarating sound and catchy choreography are sure to give a powerful push to anyone nursing a crush.

It’s the perfect song for getting everyone hyped at karaoke or for lifting your spirits!
