In my opinion, stage songs tend to get enough exposure - the people who watch stages are normally gonna know every song in the stages they watch, or at least give them a listen (the one exception I make here is for Himawarigumi 2 which has never had a revival afaik). On the other hand, I feel like some of the best songs are single B-sides that get buried under the title song's hype, or people just don't get around to listening to. Some of the best 48g songs are definitely B-sides, often outshining the title tracks. (Also, I might be the biggest advocate around here for my #1 and #2 songs, I vote them for stuff all the time...)

Underrated songs for AKB or 48G in general?
If I have to list songs on the top of my head:

- Namida no Seesaw game (Under Girls) (performed at Yoyogi Stadium 2010)
- Nante Bohemian (Under Girls) (performed at 1830m Tokyo Dome 2012 & Request Hour 2013)
- VAMOS (Under Girls)
- Mittsu no Namida (Special Girls A)
- Koduka na Hoshizora (Shinoda Team A)
- Tiny T-Shirt (Umeda Team B) (performed at Theater during AKB Anniversary 2013)
- Hitsujikai no tabi
- Zero Sum taiyou (Akimoto Team K) (performed at 1830m Tokyo Dome 2012)
- Love Jump (Kashiwagi Team B) (performed at Seibu Dome 2011)
- Sakura iro no sora no shita de

Granted these are mostly single songs, but some have only been performed once and some not at all.

 

Too many songs. 　And it's to hard to rank, since some are equally underrated. But these are my picks.

1. Hitsujikai no Tabi (Like hell yeah. I wish they could have just made this a Mayuki double center single just for the exposure)
2. Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou
3. Kimi wa Pegasus
4. Romance Irane
5. Chance no Junban
6. Ikiru Koto
7. Hate
8. Hito no Chikara
9. Mokugekisha
10. Kinmokusei

or maybe this is just a list of my favorite songs but not everyone appreciates it? haha

 

There are so many good underrated songs. Really hard to narrow down as usual. These are some of my top favorites that I wish would get more love.

1.) Kimi ga Omotteru yori (Team Surprise)
2.) Ikiru Koto
3.) Korekara Wonderland
4.) Nante Bohemian
5.) Senpuuki (Nogizaka46)
6.) Girl's Rule (Nogizaka46)
7.) Iede no Yoru
8.) Viva! Hurricane
9.) ALIVE
10.) Choose Me

8. Tender Days (Nogizaka)
9. Kaisoku to Doutai Shiryoku (AKB-Undergirls)

This was difficult since "underrated" is so arbitrary and debatable of a qualifier. My definition is that the song is not worshipped to the extent which I demand

 

YES! Can't believe I forgot this one.

That's pretty much what I went with. Particularly with my #1.
