Iconic and popular songs by SKE48

Unrequited Love, FinallySKE48

On sale 2012/1/25 – 8th single ‘Unrequited Love Finally’ MV (special edit ver.)

In terms of being sensational, this is the first song I’d recommend to someone who doesn’t know SKE.

The dance performed in tight spaces that’s typical of SKE, the burgundy sailor uniforms that stand out because many members have fair skin, the shocking kiss scene, and that unique SKE blend of translucence and fragility.

Many SKE48 songs feature lyrics that reflect the members’ emotions.

This piece, performed in Team S’s 3rd Stage “Seifuku no Me” (Uniform Sprout), is one of them.

It symbolically expresses a woman’s pride and assertiveness in love, portraying the desire to be treated as someone special and the frustration toward a partner’s passive attitude.

A fan favorite performed 244 times between October 2009 and July 2013, it also ranked No.

1 for two consecutive years at SKE48’s Request Hour.

Its energetic melody and relatable lyrics clearly resonated with fans.

It’s a song I recommend to women struggling with matters of the heart.

EscapeSKE48

[MV] Escape (Short Ver.) / SKE48 [Official]

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.

When you’re vaguely interested or want to get to know the members, this SKE-oshi is really handy.

I hope this will make you interested in Masanya, who introduces herself first, and also get you curious about Nannan—and be amazed by her academic background.

Pareo is emerald.SKE48

On sale 2011/7/27: 6th single “Pareo wa Emerald” MV (special edit ver.)

This song always gets a great response when I sing it at karaoke in front of friends.

If you want to spread the word about SKE, I recommend playing this song together with Kataomoi Finally, both with video.

It’s brimming with the refreshing charm that SKE, the standout of the 48 Group for their breezy vibe, is known for.

It’s not just about the sporty vibe.

Of course, we haven’t forgotten the classic idol cuteness either.

This song best showcases the innate talent plus effort-driven idol qualities of these three—Yuria, Kuumin, and Dasu.

If Kuumin sang it to me, I might even start playing tennis.

Slave to chocolateSKE48

On sale 2013/1/30 11th single “Choco no Dorei” MV (special edit ver.)

It’s a song by SKE48 that’s well known as a Valentine’s Day staple.

The curious title, “Slave of Chocolate,” is enough to pique many people’s interest, isn’t it? As the tagline “I’d have taken even an obligatory one” suggests, it vividly portrays a boy’s longing to receive chocolate from the girl he likes.

Released in January 2013 as their 11th single, it debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and posted an astonishing first-week sales figure of about 539,000 copies.

The song was also used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Tsubokko Musume.” With Valentine’s Day coming up, don’t you feel a little flutter wondering what kind of chocolate you might get?
