Its gentle, soothing melody is easy on the ears, and the moving lyrics make it a karaoke number that draws you in.

It’s perfect for moments when you want to convey your feelings to someone or express gratitude.

The song doesn’t have a wide vocal range and has a relaxed tempo, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

[MV full] He’s My Ex / AKB48 59th Single [Official]

This is a dance track packed with lingering feelings and frustrations toward an ex.

Performed by the popular idol group AKB48, it was released in 2022 as their 59th single.

One of its charms is the bass-heavy sound arrangement that makes you feel like you’re in a club—you’ll want to turn up the volume.

Even in the chorus, the melody stays within nearly the same range as before, making it especially easy for women to sing.

Match the vibe of the track and keep it cool!

Hatsukoi ni niteru

AKB48, known as a national idol group based in Akihabara, released the single “Nokori-zakura” in February 2026.

The coupling track included on the single is a fresh number featuring eight next-generation 20th- and 21st-generation trainees.

It has also drawn attention for having its lyrics written by alumna Rino Sashihara.

The lyrics, which capture the momentum of being in love and the sparkle of youth, combine with a classic idol-pop sound to set listeners’ hearts racing.

The chorus, where youthful vocals overlap, has an appealing sense of openness and overflows with positive energy that seems to give you the courage to take a step into a new romance.

It’s a recommended song for those who want to feel upbeat with the arrival of spring.

Nagorizakura

AKB48 is an idol group launched in 2005 under the overall production of Yasushi Akimoto, and after passing the major milestone of its 20th anniversary, it has begun carving out a new chapter in its 21st year.

Their 67th single, “Nagori Zakura,” released in February 2026, has drawn attention as a track that features Momoka Ito from the recently joined 19th generation in her first-ever center position.

The lyrics weave past and present together as they depict nostalgic scenes of school routes and classrooms—something many people facing the season of graduation and new departures are sure to relate to.

It’s a perfect springtime sakura song that blends wistfulness with forward-looking resolve, bolstered by footage brimming with the energy of their Budokan performance and a diverse selection of coupling tracks that are also highlights to enjoy.
