It is one of AKB48’s “sister groups” — there are five within Japan and seven including overseas — and it was formed as AKB48’s first sister group.

This time, we’re putting the spotlight on them.

We’ve listed their most-viewed popular songs in a ranked format.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or brand new, be sure to check it out.

It’s not flashy.

There’s none of SKE’s signature intense dancing.

But the girls’ purity and that unmistakable feeling of summer vacation are captured beautifully.

With my favorite members—Rina Matsumoto (Matsurina), Shiori Ogiso (Shiorin), and Mana Oya (Masanya)—all together, it’s simply unmissable.

In favor—so cute!SKE48

Released in 2013 as SKE48’s 13th single.

The song features Jurina Matsui and Rena Matsui as double centers and was used as the CM song for AiiA’s mobile card game “SKE48 Passion For You.” It’s about a shy boy who can’t express his feelings openly but harbors a crush on the class “madonna.” The bouncy dance makes it a hit for everyone to do together at karaoke.

“Kan no Ai, Gin no Ai” is a single released by SKE48 in 2016, with Jurina Matsui as the center.

It ranked first on the Oricon weekly chart.

In the drama “Death Cash,” for which this song was used as the theme, Jurina Matsui plays the lead role.

Even if they’re not the center, there are people who need to be right by the side.

In SKE, this is especially true for Mikitty, Matsurina, Reikatsun, and Riri.

It’s precisely because these four are there that Kuumin’s center position shines.

It also perfectly fits the image of a fighting girl.

It’s a cute and upbeat song, but the lyrics really make you feel how scary girls can be.

If a lie detector like this existed, it seems like it would break people.

Which probably means that sometimes humans need lies.

And having every little thing checked—like after club activities or a stop at the convenience store—must be tough for the boyfriend!

This song, performed by SKE48’s trainee members, expresses their longing for the dream stage where their seniors shine.

It might be perfect for brass band or drama club performances, which often take place on stage at competitions and recitals.

Even if the seniors we admire graduate and move on, we juniors will carry the torch—this song also works well as a declaration of that resolve.

When talking about SKE, you can’t ignore the fact that, for better or worse, they have an “athletic club” vibe.

And the ones who embody that are Team S.

While people tend to focus on Jurina, what I want you to pay attention to here is Mizuki Kuwabara’s dance skills.
