| Hinatazaka46 Unveil 14th Single 'Love Yourself'! |
The bright skies over Yokohama Stadium weren’t the only thing glowing during Hinatazaka46’s 6th Hinatansai ~ Sasaki Kumi Graduation Ceremony—the girls dropped a bombshell announcement that’s got fans buzzing from Shibuya to Sapporo.
Yep, Hinatazaka46 are back at it with their 14th single titled ‘Love Yourself’, officially set for release on May 21st.
It’s shaping up to be a heartfelt, feel-good anthem—just the kind of vibe Hinatazaka always nails.
The announcement came through a surprise VTR that rolled mid-ceremony, catching everyone right in the feels, especially with it also marking Sasaki Kumi’s final big stage moment.

And the suspense doesn’t stop there.
The senbatsu formation—that is, which members will take the spotlight for this single—will be revealed on next week’s "Hinatazaka de Aimashou!" (April 13).
Get your popcorn and tissues ready, because if past formations are anything to go by, we’re in for an emotional rollercoaster.
As if that wasn’t enough excitement in one night, they’ve also announced a massive show coming in hot—BRAND NEW LIVE 2025 "OVER THE RAINBOW".
It’s set for May 28th and 29th at the iconic Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium. So yep, May’s about to be a full-on Hinatazaka season.
Let’s talk releases. There’ll be four types of the single up for grabs:
TYPE-A, TYPE-B, TYPE-C, and TYPE-D, each a CD+BD combo priced at ¥2,000 (incl. tax). These limited editions come with entry serial codes for special bonuses and member photo inserts.
For those on a tighter budget (or just after the tunes), there’s also a regular CD-only version priced at ¥1,200.
Catalogue numbers for collectors:
-
TYPE-A: SRCL-13270~13271
-
TYPE-B: SRCL-13272~13273
-
TYPE-C: SRCL-13274~13275
