it’s honestly very misogynistic that akb get disrespected all the time mostly because they’re a group of girls doing cute concept. while it’s true that akb has such a diverse discography , why is being “cute” something that people look down on?
you're totally correct!
I hate those people doing that, most Filipino are like that. They like kpop, whether they're doing cute or fierce, but when their local performs like that, they despise it.
I think it's all goes down to owning your own femininity. They look down on idol because they think all they're selling in their fermininity or sexual appeal. There's a lot of hardwork and passion that goes into performing... Which is I guess, the 2018 thing happens.
@@Gfriend_Buddy99 and they are the same people idoling artist who loves showing their butt and twerking.
I also feel like it’s ageism, someone acts cute when they’re young, and they’re cringe and weird, someone acts cute when they’re older and they need to grow up/it’s a fetish, there’s no winning
They have rock, pop, disco, edm, choir music and even traditional japanese music. And if you listen to their stages albums, is even more diverse.
Yes, and AKB Group has the best rap song I’ve ever heard: “Glory Days.”
My favorite adjective for AKB48 is "supergroup." It's true in terms of number of members, longevity, song catalog, and sales. AKB48, for better or worse, defined idol culture in Japan for a decade. They may have reached their peak in 2012-2015, but they are due for a major comeback.
I think being a member in 48g is harder than being a kpop idol. Yes k-pop idol are talented and very skilled singers and dancers, training for several years, some are starting at very young age. But in 48g, although the audition and training is not same level of difficulty with kpop. 48g thrown in the stage not ready enough, and only what they had is charm and charisma.They should know different dance step from different Akb48 song, and actually its too many compared to k pop idol. The new gen should know how to perform the hit songs of akb48 from old gen to current era.While kpop idols shapes in training room, 48g idols are shape both in training room and most of all the stage. We literally witness them how they grow as an idol and as a human being, we see them how they're improve, their struggles, how they handle issues around them. Unlike kpop, I don't know if kpop trainee are allowed to study acads in regulary school. But most of 48g idols are students, some of them are college student, ( the first mnl48 all over captain is now a registered nurse)I heard before that some members in akb48 is sponsored by management to their studies. They do it simultaneously while being an idol, actress, model, doing concerts, variety shows, handshake events and etc. It seems what they did is easy on stage, just being cute with flashy costume, but a lot do not know behind the curtains.
There's even ex members who's now in politics
@@memyself7667 who is it?
both have their pros and cons tho
the kpop training and dieting process is like 10× stricter than a lot of jpop ones (only exceptions would probably be for ldh and avex artists)
@@AllenTube Melody of JKT48 she was Japan-ASEAN friendship council, and Ambassador of Agriculture and Food of Bandung
I totally disagree, k-pop is much muck harder than j-pop,
in fact the chance to debut in a k-pop group is very very low, and it took years of practice.
and you'll find most of the kpop idols come from rich family , they risk their time knowing that they already have a second choice so they continue.
Akb48’s discography is absolutely phenomenal
True!!
Yes, they have more really good songs than any other group in the world, with the possible exception of the Beatles.
and not just 48G, it's like a requirement for jpop groups and japanese music artists to have versatility when it comes to their discography and performances or they'll just fizzle out. even perfume who has a solid, unbreakable concept, challenges the electro-pop genre and the technology used in the music industry that they're still going strong even after 20+ years.
not to mention how out of this world some of the concepts of idol groups (and just all of their artists in general) in japan offers. they push boundaries in music and the pop music industry that when you want to experience rich and varied sounds, you just have to dive in to japanese music and drown in all of its beauty and quirkiness
japan is a treasure trove of both musical oddities, revolutionary, and everything in between
“Worth to idolize”
I can feel their passion and hard work. Members, Management, Songs, Merch, Seifuku/Costumes, Concert, etc. Everything felt precious and wonderful to me since my first time i knew them. I dont know if theyre just perfectionist or is it just they know how to repay "kindness"
Simple analogy :
Fans : Ganbatte Kudasai!!!
Idol : Yoroshiku Onegaisimasu (and followed with REAL ACT)
Well Japanese popular music in general is more versatile compared to American or Korean music so,...
and in context of 48 family group you can feel variety of other musical influence like for example
Pop punk/Rock -> Mae Shika Mukanee, River, Alive, Give Me Five, New Ship, Maybe, Gonna Jump, Bingo, Heavy Rotation
Hip hop -> River, Moto Kare Desu, Konjo
70's pop dance/funk -> Halloween Night, Shoot Sign, Give Up Wa Shinai, Ima Para, Fortune Cookies, Flying Get, Romance Iranee, Ambulance
Pop Latin -> Me wo Aketa Mama no First Kiss
That's why if you can play music, covering 48 songs is so much fun because the wide variety of genre, melody and harmony
Exactly^^
I study a lot of music and I admire AKB’s versatility because their songs are all wonderfully composed
hmmm I think japanese music is indeed more versatile then korean music, but I think most people dont know how diverse the industry is.
@@itsrayyyyxd you mean how diverse Korean music industry is?
My topic for critical essay was the social criticism in akimoto yasushi lyric. Song like mokugekisha, sekai ga naiteru Nara, and Keibetsu shiteta aijou. Jpop or more specifically the 48 group were seriously underestimated.
that sounds so interesting!!
Maybe you can add the famous Skirt Hirari and Hakimono to kasa no monogatari
Skirt Hirari (allegedly) talks about public sexual harassment towards high school girls and Hakimono talks about a story of friendship between 2 elderly women who both lives alone, one is an umbrella seller and the other one is a sandal seller, i think it's an interesting social topic and rather an unusual theme for idol group
@@SNSDP0P Don't forget NamidaUri No Shoujo, Seifuku GA Jama Wo Suru, Darui Kanji or Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou.
They can actually go into some very dark, heavy topics if you look those songs up.
The first two are like two sides of compensated dating. Darui and NamidaUri both openly talk about feeling suicidal or similar, and Keibetsu is about bullying in school.
The video for Keibetsu is really powerful
The love I had for AKB48 was fading. I used to always follow news and updates about them, until Mayuyu~sama graduated. Thank you so much for this video. I was reminded of how passionate I was once for this group. Singing their hit songs and latest singles loudly in our college boarding house was fun. I was reminded why I loved them so much. But I don't think I'll love the generation now like how I loved the golden era.
They have so many good songs esp during their peak!!
nice video! I agree AKB's discography is diverse. I especially like their rock based songs. ikiru koto, kagami no naka no jeanne d'arc, bird, itoshiki rival, mushi no ballad etc.
One thing that i love about akb48 is that they have very cheerful or energetic song yet the lyrics were kind of dark, sad, about hardcore fan's that already (sorry) dead or about unrequited love.. like, bruh wth.. but it so addicting lmao
I can say that Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou is their darkest song, and I am glad that you put it here
this and namida uri no shoujo are such deep songs
namida uri no shoujo too
Black Flower is up there as well
Support akb48 forever no matter what
Love this video because i’m tired of people saying they only have cute songs…like beginner is right there hell even river like their discography has so much to offer
If by “cute songs,” you’re referring to their songs written in a MAJOR key (whether ballads or upbeat rockers), and their “non-cute songs” as the ones written in a MINOR key, then I can say that I love their cute songs the most! I love their songs in major (so catchy!), and don’t care for most of their songs in minor (and nearly all songs by any group in minor). Fortunately for me, most of AKB Groups’ over 1500 songs are in major!
Your selection of songs seems to make the major vs. minor key songs contrast very clear, roughly alternating between major and minor key songs (though sometimes a couple of the same type follow one another).
Very interesting juxtaposition of song types! Thanks!
And that's just from singles or albums, there's hundreds of beautiful and worth to give a listen to songs from the Theater Stages that people don't know about and really show the variety and range of music AKB has.
Not to mention the lyrics are usually trying to give a message and have quite the meaning, i feel Kpop doesn't have that
And this is like just the tip of the iceberg. Once one dive down to their lyrics....
Akb has dark songs keibetsu shiteita aijou is my fav the message in the end of the mv really helps me in my dark days
versatile queens women make the best music
aahh akb48, the group that starting the japanese Idol Warring State Period, honestly their influence to industry is huge af, so many innovation on fan interaction and marketing strategy, what i love about japanese idol culture is that they keep evolving, since the first japanese idol group Johnny back in 1962, they give us somethin like BABYMETAL, Vocaloid, Love Live, Hololive and many more, btw if you want cool akb48 song try reading Eyewitness and Tear-seller Girl lyrics
they can do everything and i love them for that
i love your videos! thank u for commenting
@@SNSDP0P omg thank you so much! i love yours too 🥺
Finally, a video about AKB48 that's not a hit piece. I was starting to think I was the only one who genuinely loves AKB48 music.
This is why I love them. They have thousands of songs that I can listen to at different time when I have different moods
omg!!!!! i LOVE beginner and kurumi to dialouge! beginners original music video has to be one of my all time faves from them! i also really love the majisuka gakuen songs and yasai sisters! i hope that even though akb48 seems to be matauring a bit more they’ll still continue to do super weird or cute somgs like yasai sisters!
Thanks for this video. I feel like music all over the world is getting too similar and being reminded of these good times where they were more diverse makes me so happy.
I actually love the cute concepts and it's probably why I am having a hard time finding a girl group I like in Kpop. They're mostly girl crushes. 😔
i recommend fromis_9, woo!ah!, billlie, wjsn & cherry bullet!
I was a 48 group fan and I find twice kinda similar
been a wota since 2017 and all i can say is they can do anything really. They did choir (twice i believe. Sakura no Shiori and Koko ni Ita Koto), cute concepts, electronic music, heck they can even pull off complicated choreography. I'm just happy that i'm stanning this group for a long time
If theres one thing AKB48 has over kpop, its CHARISMA #FACT
and money
@@handel1111 really? I thought they'd make less 😆
@@donnasRock323 even a kpop group's whole year of earnings can't match a single album of AKB48
@@handel1111 it's called momentum and dayumm, kpop must be getting ripped off good
@@donnasRock323 because in every single release, only a few of their members get to appear basing on how much votes they get and every CD you buy, you'd get a handshake ticket for 10 secs and voting rights. The more money you spend the more chances your oshi gets to appear on a song that gets to be released. Top fans would literally sell their houses and properties just to be able to spend time with their idols and elevate their favourite idol's status
regardless of 48G..
I often compares K-pop and J-pop as a whole with the allegory of "big fish in a small pond",
The big pond and small pond?
K-pop is big pond, huuuge outreach and ton of exposure..yet everything seem very, "uniform".. everything sounds the same, everything looks the same, even if you have different ideas and concepts,in order to get public recognition, you'll end up producing something "similar" like everyone else's.
Vast, huuuge even, yet Shallow.. Basically a puddle.
Meanwhile J-pop as whole is a "small pond", they mainly marketed towards their own demographic, however.. with just their own demographic alone, they're 2nd largest entertainment market in the world in music consumptions. On surface yes people would see the "cutesy" idol stuff alone, however if you dig deeper you'll find hundreds of genres still thriving well with their own niche market far beyond any places.
I mean see the oricon charts, Idol been conquering top spots for almost 2 decades now. But I bet you band like Spitz, Maximum The Hormones, One OK Rock, RnB artist like Motohiro Hata and Moriyama Naotaro could definitely fill Budokan easily.
Small, yet deep, neverending sources.. Basically a Well.
Playing in the puddle are fun, but bathing from a well are more satisfying.
well put
Thank u so much for this video. So many wonderful songs. You showed only some of the thousands of reasons why AKB48 is amazing, iconic and the ultimate idol group. I love AKB!!!!!!! ❤️
Also if you are open to suggestions, I would adore a video about AKB theater stages. The most wonderful, godly songs are there! And it’s something really overlooked nowadays, even by the management and mostly the newer fans (some of them I think they don’t even know theater stages) ☹️ A video explaining how they work and some suggestions of songs from each one would be great!!!
@@mayuyu4ever thats such a good idea i will try to do something like that
tobenai agehachou is a banger
NAURRR U PUT IIWAKE MAYBE RIGHT AFTER X - X
I love 48 groups so much, thank you for doing this video!!!
its no problem at all!!
my favorite songs by them are sustainable, new ship, kichibiru ni be my baby, heavy rotation, iiwake maybe, and enkyori poster
lmao i have a lotttt more but i can’t choose which one is my favorite😂
ok now i want this as a spotify playlist 😣😣😣
i could put one together but i dont use spotify so it could take a while
@@SNSDP0P 🥺🥺 thank you so muchieee ❤️ i'll wait!
I am very very new to this fandom, and I really don’t know there are so many beautiful songs across all years really until now
I really don’t know some of my favourite AKB songs are actually more than 10 years since their release
and you didn't even include stage songs!!!!!!!!!! that's how versatile they are
anyway i'm showing this video to everyone who wants to get to know the group a little more! this is so well made, thanks :)
Probably because most stage songs has no MV. but yeah, they're probably the top-tier and likely for real fans since we can find them in stages.
I love how the B-sides are so different, example: Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai and Summer Side, Negaigoto no Mochigusare and Imapara, Sustainable and Monika Yoake da yo, these are all in the same single, and theu are so different!
kpop jpop is more versatile than people think, that's why I can never be bored of them, so many good song released within a year
So much nostalgia. 😭 Got into AKB when I was 10 (circa. 2010) when I saw a Takajo Aki (AKB member who graduated around 2013) fan blog during the early days of Facebook. I got into Kpop a year later with T-ara, Davichi, and Super Junior. I don’t get why people can’t like both. I slowly stopped listening to Kpop around the time Lovelyz disbanded and T-ara semi-retired. AKB has always stayed true to itself and it’s fans. That’s why it always has a place in my heart. 💜 S/O to International Sister groups. They prove there’s an appetite for AKB proving the Kpop purists wrong.
I have all their songs and I love them😍😍😍
thank you or the video! AKB (honestly applies to all 48groups) are very versatile even if you look at title tracks alone, and if you dive deeper nto b-sides stages and other projects they are even more so. not to mention the term "cute" is very broad and sometimes used almost randomly
AKB48 is IDOL QUEEN OF ALL IDOL
Akb48 have one of best diversity and discography ❤❤

By 4 5 3 6 chord song, you mean IV-V-iii-VI!
@@wifi-YT yes. Correct.
@@hdrvexecutions3671 Thanks. I’m curious: What’s your favorite AKB Group song with the classic I-V-vi-IV chord progression?
AKB48 and the 48G are awesome.
what's wrong having mostly cute song anyway? TBH their cute songs that made me like them.
theres absolutely nothing wrong with cute songs, theyre always some of my favourites! its just that non-fans always use songs like hebirote to insult the group as only doing one concept when they actually do a LOT of different things
If by cute songs you’re referring to their songs in a MAJOR key, I fully agree!
You are an Idol scholar good sir (or mam). I wish I could major in AKB History!😁
that is very high praise thank u so much
completely agreed! i started listening to them recently, and i was surprised by the general quality of their music. i always overlooked them because of their reputation as a vapid idol group with little musical depth, but that's not true because even their cutesy songs are quite well made and have catchy and memorable hooks and melodies. in fact, i find that a lot of their most well produced and iconic singles are the extremely cutesy ones
Oh man, how I wish Itoshiki Natasha had her own MV, but it's impossible that even though there are so many good songs in AKB48, they all have their music videos.
MNL48 is struggling with it's own concept... I want them to them to re-debut and freshen up their westernized concepts, too many members and staffs are unfamiliar/uneducated with the 48G concept.
I'm new to them! Well thanks to you I'm hooked some of the songs😹well for now my favourite is skirt hirari, shoot sign and oogee diamond!
Im so happy to know I have gotten people to listen to akb48!
Thank you for the video you have made, I don't know why when I saw this video I felt like I was back in the past where there were still kami7 akb48 but when I realized they had all graduated and two was already married it made me feel like time was passing too fast. I want to go back to that era, the golden era of akb48.
Is this from 2010 and to around +/- 2015 +? With Yuki Yukirin, Mayu Watanabe, Ito, Kojima Haruna, Rena Ono, and All other sweetly nicely members from AKB48 of those great beautiful years so cute
i included songs from their entire career not just specific years
I miss the good ol days
SAILOR ZOMBIE MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥
cute songs
Thank you for making this❤️
its my pleasure!!!
48G has superb diversity song.. The song would made to be suited the center member..
Love❤AKB48! 💪 🔥 ❤❤❤💪💪❤️❤️❤️🇯🇵 ❤️ ❤️ #MusicJapanFoever
Rudy love AkB48 talented and beautiful girls
原來AKB有這麼多好歌 😍
in our country, Indonesia, there's also same idol group with same concept, JKT48. they've started their debut since the early 2012s.
Halloween night, nusumareta, yobisuke fantasy, beginner, koisuru fortune cookie, tonmetsu, party is over, me qo aketa, shoot sign, sustainble, monica yoake, gingham check, love trip, river, romsnce benjuru, keibatsu, alive, romance irane, party, tobenai agehachou, kaze wa fuiteiru, kurumi to diaougue, teacher teacher, uza, sakura no ki ni narou, oogen diamond, jitabata, flying get, jabaja, yaban no kyyurai, sentimental train, motokare desu.
These are only A-side, single coupling songs, album coupling songs. The stage songs probably would show how their discography is a real rollercoaster ride tho. (Probably, my personal favourite concept from them is edgy. They rarely do stuff like Uza and Beginner and probably their new single could fall into this category)
Im well aware of this. I only used songs with music videos because sometimes live videos quality is all over the place
cool video but that cursive font is so hard to read idk how to search some of these 😭
oh im sorry! i can clarify some if u need me to
@@SNSDP0P tbh i ended up figuring them out w/ shazam but ty anyways! and thanks for the video, it was still super helpful for me 🙏🙏
I was a fan of the 48 groups from 2012 and stopped when mayuyu left, but then produce48 came out and I fell in love with izone and now I’m listening to a lot of kpop but it’s always the same and feels so plastic
@@LizLizLisa I tried but it’s not the same, I think bad management 😔 I hope they rise again
Thanks
I may be a Lovebites , Bandmaid and Gacharic Spin fan byt I also listen to Sakura,Gakuin and Morning Musume and I like all the 48 groups music especially Nogizaka 46 featuring Himeka(Himetan) Nakamoto sister of Suzuka ( Su- metal) Nakamoto of Baby Metal previously a member of Sakura Gakuin
I generally like the kawaii side of akb48 but I prefer the more mature version like River, Beginner, Uza, Sefuku ga yama wo suru, Motokare desu and No way Man.
I’m the opposite. I like their major key songs the best. Your songs aren’t necessarily more mature, just songs in a minor key.
It's so interesting to see that the choreography is now so much more advance than before. Formations is what I realise the most, before they tend to just stay at one place. Now they have different formations in one song. Not belittling other akb members but i think it's quite obvious that after hitomi and nako came back, it becomes better for akb.
This isn't true at all. Akb48 have had complex choreographies for years (beginner, uza, kaze wa fuiteiru, river etc). The idea that akb48 were just swaying on stage until pd48/hitomi is so disrespectful and condescending to the group.
@@SNSDP0P They prolly listened to hebirote then called it a day LMAO Kpop stans do be acting like they know AKB better than the actual fans
Where's No Way Man?
im not going to include every single song in a video sorry
kpop stans : cute songs bad
