Over the years, overseas AKB48 sister groups have continued to produce remarkable original singles, showcasing their local charm and global appeal.
AKB48's overseas sister groups are all well-known for their cover songs from the original Japanese 48 Groups (AKB48/SKE48/NMB48/HKT48/NGT48/STU48), so releasing an original single is quite significant.
From pre-independent SNH48’s 2016 releases, "Yuan Dongli" and "Dream Land," to AKB48 Team TP's 2025 single "Team Up," these groups have captivated fans worldwide.
JKT48 made history in 2020 with "Rapsodi," their first original single, followed by chart-toppers like "Flying High" (2022) and "Magic Hour" (2024).
BNK48 has also impressed with singles such as "Promise" (2023) and "Kiss Me" (2024).
Meanwhile, CGM48, MNL48, SGO48, and AKB48 Teams SH and Team TP have enriched the AKB48 legacy with their unique tracks.
This progression highlights the creative evolution of AKB48’s global units, building connections through music that transcends borders.
