NTT docomo Support Student Discount “Me from 6 Years Ago (Cheering)” Version

GIVE ME FIVE !AKB48

Nice Commercial: NTT Docomo — Atsuko Maeda — Support Student Discount — “Me from 6 Years Ago <Support>” Version
GIVE ME FIVE !AKB48

This is AKB48’s 25th single, tagged with the catchphrase: “Once we’ve cried our fill, let’s high-five!” The center is AKB’s immovable ace, Atsuko Maeda.

It’s the group’s fifth so-called “sakura song,” and a rare single for them in that it was released with a full band arrangement.

The title “GIVE ME FIVE” refers to a high-five, and it feels like this one phrase contains the beautiful youthfulness of “We’re graduating and going our separate ways, but let’s end it with a smiling high-five.” It’s a cherry blossom song full of memories that makes you stop what you’re doing and watch whenever it comes on in a commercial.

AKB48’s “Sakura no Shiori” is also very popular as a graduation song.

Released in 2010 as AKB’s 15th single, it featured Minami Takahashi and Atsuko Maeda in the center positions.

The music video is memorable for the members in furisode kimono, and unlike a catchy idol pop tune, it’s a choral piece—something a bit different.

It’s a perfect choice for a graduation chorus.

For those about to graduate, it’s a tearjerker that brings out strong feelings toward friends and teachers.

There are many songs about cherry blossoms, but this one is a track that leaves you with a bittersweet feeling.

“Sakura Ame” (Cherry Blossom Rain) is JUJU’s 12th single, released in 2010.

During cherry blossom season, both songs and commercials tend to be cheerful and upbeat.

But the rain of that season brings a sad feeling, as it makes the blossoms fall.

Perfect for that mood, this song is a sorrowful heartbreak ballad that brings back memories of an old love.

For anyone who just can’t forget someone, it’s a sentimental spring song that’s hard to listen to without tears.
