🧢 Title Track Vibes? Still Under Wraps (For Now)

The full tracklist’s still under wraps, but if the title’s anything to go by, we’re expecting something sweet, sunny, and a bit cheeky—classic HKT summer energy. Whether it's a high-tempo bop or a feel-good melody with heart, we’ll be keeping an ear out for the preview teasers in the coming weeks.

⏮️ A Quick Look Back...

In case you missed it, HKT48’s 18th single, “Boku wa Yatto Kimi wo Shinpai Dekiru” (僕はやっと君を心配できる), dropped back on 11 September 2024. That one leaned a bit more emotional, so fans are curious to see what direction “Hansode Tenshi” takes—lighter? Brighter? A total shift?

Whatever it is, this one’s shaping up to be the summer anthem for HKT48 in 2025.

📲 Stay Tuned...

Keep an eye on HKT48’s official site and socials for the jacket visuals, MV teasers, and full tracklist reveal soon. And of course, we’ll be watching closely to see how centre Nene and the rookie girls bring the sparkle this time.

July’s gonna be busy, y’all Hakata fanbase. Let the short-sleeved angel season begin!
