    Name some of your favorite songs of AKB48 Groups that you consider them underrated because though they're good, they're rarely performed live or don't rank on Request Hours.

    Here's mine:

    • Give Me Five: most underrated single for me as it's AKB48's first band single but only reached top 200 on RH once in 2013. Too bad, after Acchan's graduation, the song is no longer performed as full band but dance version of it.
    • Haru no Hikari Chikadzuita NatsuX My favorite B-side of Green Flash.
    • Punkish: Also my favorite B-side of Green Flash. It sounds like songs from punk bands such as NOFX. JKT48's Nabilah really likes it as she's fond of punk music and JKT48 version of this song is centered by her.
    • Summer Side: My favorite B-side of Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai. Its MV featured senbatsu of such single who weren't on title song MV.
    • Inochi no Tsukaimichi: a song of B3 stage. I always like this song for electronic sounds.
    • Darkness: I accidentally discovered this song. It's B-side of Choco no Dorei. One of the best EDM song of AKB48 Group for me.

    Here's some from off the top of my head...

    • Ashita wa Ashita no Kimi ga Umareru: I keeping hoping they'd perform this song again, maybe as a new unit during a special stage. It's really nice to listen to. I like the mix of Rinatin's soft voice and Sayaka and Sae's powerful voices.
    • FIRST LOVE: I like the cuteness of Erepyon's voice here, and it's the kind of typically idol-ish style song I like. The uniform makes me think of Evangelion.
    • Nantai Renai Kuragekko: Mayuyu had a lot of solos in Warota, and this is my favorite. So fun to listen to.
    • Hitsujikai no Tabi: I love it when AKB excels at a ballad like this.
    • Ruby & Ikirukoto: Shinoda Team A had some nice experimental songs, and these two are my favorites. So good.
    • Nageki no Figure: I can't decide if this is my favorite stage song, or Shonichi. I consider it an underrated song because it's performed so rarely. Another with Rinatin originally~

    I'm not really sure how underrated they are but i can think in a few:

    -Downtown hotel 100 goushitsu: I think i have never seen this song being performed at all o_O
    -Kimi wa kimagure
    -Hate
    -Dare ga futari wo deawaseta no ka? :shifty:
    -Saigo ni ice milk wo nonda no wa itsudarou?
    -Yasashii Place
    -Nanka, chotto kyuu ni

    Actually i think i could keep going with this for hours, akb seems to perform a very limited number of their songs :|

    KONJO from Mae Shika Mukanee is my #1 pump up song, but I'm pretty sure at one point I wasn't sure if it was a real AKB song or something I'd heard in a dream. It did make it to request hour this year though so that's nice I guess

    For me, the most underrated AKB48 song by far is Saigo no Seifuku, which was the c/w track to Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008. It is a gorgeous ballad, with a powerfully sentimental chorus. AFAIK it has only been performed live once at 2009 Request Hour (correct me if I'm wrong about that) It was also performed on an episode of 1ji59fun...



    I used to always say it sounded like a song that from a music standpoint could've been written by Roger McGuinn (The Byrds)

    The first song that came to mind is Lily from NMB's first album (also Team N's first team song). It's actually my favourite team song from that album, but also the least popular one. So far I haven't even met one person except me who likes that song; most people seem to think it's a snoozefest lol. I think it's a really calming song though. Iirc it has only been performed by Team N once, in a concert not long after the album's release. Then the Kokoten stage and other team songs appeared and they switched to performing those in concerts. :^^;:

    Another one is Nante Bohemian, the undergirls song from 2012 SSK (the senbatsu song is Gingham Check). At least this one was revealed in the 2012 Tokyo Dome concerts. Though after that it's only been performed in RH once.

    Also, Rinjin wa kizutsukanai, my all-time favourite from AKB.

    I like a lot of the songs already mentioned in this thread too (WHEN will I see the middle finger from Hate again???? lol). :)

    My favourite underrated song is Hakanai Monogatari, a coupling song from NMB48's 14th single Amagami Himi. I love the musical composition of this song especially the flute and guitar parts, but the voices of the members seem to particularly blend well together:

    Do you think Ima Para is an underrated song?

    Version by JKT48 Team J tells about the team's new era.

    Great post and wonderful memory. AKB circa 2009. Wow, checkout the future star power on the AKBingo stage. ''Their like will not be seen again.''
