[MV full] 10nen Zakura / AKB48 [Official]

AKB48’s “10nen Zakura,” released in 2009, has been widely embraced for how easy it is to sing and is loved as a classic graduation song.

It’s also known for borrowing the intro from “Aogeba Tōtoshi,” which adds to its familiarity for many listeners.

The lyrics depict reuniting with friends far away, something people of any generation can relate to.

With a not-too-wide vocal range, it’s easy to sing and approachable for a broad audience.

Although it’s a song about graduation and parting, it’s a bright, positive number.
