Iconic and popular songs by SKE48

We’d like to introduce songs by SKE48, a sister group of the nationally popular idol group AKB48.

While AKB48 is based in Akihabara, SKE48 operates out of Sakae in Nagoya.

They’re known for sharp dance moves and high-energy live performances.

They also embrace community contribution as one of their themes, engaging in volunteer activities such as cleaning efforts in their home base of Sakae.

Please enjoy SKE48’s music, closely connected to their local community.

SKE48’s Classic and Popular Songs (1–10)

No Sleeves’ songs go perfectly with Churi.

I can’t take my eyes off her singing, dancing, and expressions.

Somehow, they seem to suit her slightly tsundere vibe.

It’s also a wonderful track showcasing Matsurina’s skillful performance.

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.

When I thought I had to accept the current SKE, I watched this PV.

Ryoha Kitagawa, who already had a somewhat distinctive but beautiful face, had become so strikingly beautiful that she radiated an overwhelming aura even standing next to Jurina.

SKE is in good hands.

I learned about Yui Matsushita from this video.

The visual balance of the three is excellent, and above all, Rena Matsui’s charm really shines.

Just having Masanya and Rena-chan—both delicate beauties—standing side by side is enough.

It leaves you feeling like you’ve watched a quality film.

First, the PV begins with two “anglers” staring intently.

Aya Shibata-chan became a hot topic in the election, so many people probably know her, but her pulling power is incredible.

Another highlight is Ume-chan’s clarity, who has been leading Team E.

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.

There’s no other video that captures, in under three minutes, girls this beautiful dancing and singing.

Rena Matsui—now active as an actress—has a baby’s-breath-like delicacy and understated allure; Matsurina radiates a fleeting, ethereal beauty; and Shiorin’s visuals are overwhelmingly stunning.

It’s breathtaking.
