This is a song written for Rino Sashihara, who won the AKB48 32nd Single Senbatsu General Election.
It’s now considered one of AKB48’s signature hits, but Sashihara said on a variety show, “When I first heard it, I thought it would never sell.” It’s a cute, mid-tempo track, and above all, the fun choreography that everyone can enjoy spread like wildfire, leading to its massive breakthrough.

♬ Kimagure Romantic – Ikimonogakari
A happy tune by Ikimono-gakari that sings about the sweet-and-sour feelings of a girl who can’t be honest with the one she likes! Beneath her bold attitude, the protagonist is actually dying to see them, and that feeling comes through on an upbeat, bursting sound.
Released in December 2008, this track was used as the theme song for the drama “Celeb to Binbō Tarō” and is included on the classic album “My song Your song.” The cute choreography seen in the music video became a live-show staple, too! Around 2025, its fun spread to many people through social media.
When everyone copies the dance together, it creates a sense of unity in the venue and the excitement goes through the roof!

When it comes to festival songs, Kanjani Eight’s “Mukashin Hero” (Reckless Hero) is a must.
Written by Jouya Uenaka of THE Inazuma Sentai, it was released on October 29, 2008 as their ninth single.
It’s a life-cheering anthem that brightly sings about the carefree idea that “things will work out somehow”! It’s super upbeat and guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke.
It also pairs well with wotagei, so feel free to give it a try! Fun for all ages, so if you’re unsure what to sing at karaoke, definitely check this one out.
Love ABONEWS
Released in 2009 as NEWS’s 11th single.
