“11-gatsu no Anklet” (Anklet of November) is AKB48’s 50th single, known for its moving, heartrending lyrics.

Its comfortable vocal range that anyone can sing and its beautiful melody have made it popular.

The music video marks Mayu Watanabe’s final single as a member of AKB48, featuring direction that pays homage to the final scene of Momoe Yamaguchi’s retirement—another highlight to watch for.

With a melody and lyrics that stick in your ears and an emotional story, it’s a song you won’t forget once you hear it.

Everyone has a love they can never forget; why not try singing this poignant song that brings that love back to mind?

A work notable for its serious, powerful sound and socially conscious lyrics depicting the challenges faced by youth.

It carries a message of pushing forward by overcoming adversity.

Released in October 2010, it sold 827,000 copies in its first week, becoming AKB48’s first million-selling single.

It was featured across various media, including as the CM song for NTT Plala’s “AKB48 × Hikari TV” and as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Naruhodo! High School.” It’s a song that gives you courage when you want to feel positive or are about to take a new step.

It sings about the importance of showing grit and seeing things through without giving up until the end.

I imagine many people feel encouraged when they listen to this song.

AKB48 has many cute songs, but this one is powerful, and the dancing is cool too, so you get to see a different side of them.

Released in 2016 as AKB48’s 45th major single, this song came out as the group’s first double A-side, “LOVE TRIP / Share Your Happiness.” It was featured in a commercial for Recruit’s wedding magazine Zeksii, making it a love-filled track.

Since the music video depicts a real wedding, it’s also nice to watch the video at karaoke.

A Special ChristmasAKB4826rank/position

“Totteoki Christmas” is included as the coupling song to AKB48’s 29th single “Eien Pressure,” released in 2012.

Christmas songs sung by idols are irresistibly cute and catchy, aren’t they? The lyrics are filled with Christmas-related words, and the sound of sleigh bells is woven into the track, letting you savor the festive atmosphere.

Make the most of this song and enjoy karaoke to the fullest!

I absolutely love you Music Video / AKB48 61st Single [Official]

AKB48 is an idol group that enjoyed immense popularity in the 2010s.

Lately, they’ve been attracting attention again, and their music video views are climbing rapidly.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Doushitemo Kimi ga Suki da” (“I Just Can’t Help Loving You”).

The overall vibe is quintessential AKB48, a straightforward, classic idol-style pop track with no quirks.

The vocal line is simple enough that you can sing it even without strong singing skills, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to handle it.

If I weren’t an idolAKB4828rank/position

If I Weren’t an Idol Music Video / AKB48 62nd Single [Official]

AKB48 is an idol group that has been loved by many fans for years.

Even with frequent member changes, they continue to enjoy popularity today.

There are probably teenage girls who support AKB48 as a whole group, too.

For those fans, we recommend the song “If I Weren’t an Idol.” Despite its shocking title, the track itself feels like a classic idol song: it has a narrow vocal range, an easy-to-follow rhythm, and is crafted to be very easy to sing.
