March 1, 2010

Japanese pop group AKB48's latest single Sakura no Shiori (桜の栞) has topped the recent Oricon sales chart, with over 300,000 copies sold in its first week of release, a record best in seven years for Japanese female artists…


作詞：秋元康　作曲：上杉洋史　編曲：光田健一

「いつまでも...」

AKB48 だからこそ歌える「卒業ソング」。
中高生のファン層が増え続ける中で、同世代の彼女たちが贈る「別れ→旅立ち」を応援す­る楽曲です。
Music Clipは「スワロウテイル」「リリイ・シュシュのすべて」の岩井俊二監督が担当。



It’s a nice choir-like song; perfect for graduation season. It’s probably not the type you would expect to top the pop charts, but it’s Japan… you never know.
