The Best AKB48 Songs – Singles, Stages, and Albums

AKB48 had so many songs, don’t know how much the total amount, maybe more than 1000 songs? For me, best songs of AKB is from their past. Sorry, but now their singles is often make me boring. Eventhough still there many good song but cannot compare to their old songs.

But i still interest with them, interest with how AKB will survive in Japan industry music, how young members will pushed by management, how AKB future if all old generation members who still survive bring AKB big name like Mayuyu, Yukirin, Sashi, or Kojiharu graduate, will Aki-P still write lyrics or become their producer until he old and die, and many things that i cannot imagine.

Is their fate will become like Morning Musume? Their used to be very popular in old day, from 1998 until maybe 2009 but now their existence defeated by new idol group like, Nogizaka46 or Momoiro Clover Z. But yeah i predict AKB will face the same problem too like Morning Musume, because many reason.

Ok, sorry for my lamentation so now i will tell you’re, here they are my favorite or best AKB songs from their singles, stage songs and albums. Until now when this article done, AKB48 has 43 singles.

AKB48 Most Beautiful Members 2016, January Version

Why my title on this article is 2016 January version? Because the members that there here is the members who still become part of the group. We don’t know when they will graduate from AKB48 so, this is for January version. Maybe in other month or years they are still on AKB48 or not, we will never know what will happen. Ok, let’s take a look about AKB48 most beautiful members in my opinion. 1. Kojima Haruna   She the oldest member in 48 group, she was born on 1988 and now her age is 28. For person with status idol in Japan, 28 is too old because usually the maximum age for being an idol is 25 years old. Not just pretty but Kojiharu (her nickname) is sexy too but she known airhead by fans and public. 2. Kashiwagi Yuki   Yukirin is a good example for good idol criteria. She always give good fanservice and her rank in senbatsu sousenkyou always rise, the best is her 2nd position on last year sousenkyou (2015). Not only Kojiharu, but Yukirin also have sexy ima

The Best Nogizaka46 Songs - 1st until 14th Singles

After write about AKB48 best songs, i will continue to write about best songs from my other favorite idol. Now i will try to write about best songs by their official rival, Nogizaka46. Nogizaka46 not lose with AKB about music, their have different charm with AKB. Their music is so fresh, for the fan like me who like 48 groups songs. Nogizaka46 songs usually not idol-like songs who usually cute and simple. Nogizaka has many ballad and cool song, also the song with classic vibe (like 80’s Japan music?), so for me Nogizaka is different from other idol who always smile and act cute in performance stage. Nogizaka performance is full of kakkoi-ness , with cool expression but with cute appearance. Ok, now i will write about Nogizaka best songs from my point of view. Songs from Singles 1. Guru Guru Curtain (1st single) 2. Hidari Mune no Yuuki (1st single coupling by under girls) 3. Nogizaka no Uta (1st single c/w by all members) 4. Aitakatta Kamoshirenai (1st single c/w, cover song from AK
