Among the 48/46 groups, isn’t SKE48 the one that suits summer the best? Their summer songs like “Pareo wa Emerald” and “Aishiteraburu” are still guaranteed hype tracks at live shows.

The music video for “Igai ni Mango” was also shot at the beach, and center Yuna Obata’s sparkle seems even more powerful.

The biggest selling point is, without a doubt, the cute choreography.

It’s up-tempo, but there aren’t any difficult moves, so even beginners could learn it if they try.

It’s more of a dance track aimed at girls!

A coupling track from “Suzukake Nanchara,” the single where Jurina won center through rock-paper-scissors.

Given that Jurina is SKE’s absolute center, it’s only natural—but it’s almost too good to be just a coupling track.

The highlight is Rion Azuma’s keyboard.
