| SNH48 Prepares to Drop 40th EP “Last Umbrella” Featuring 2025 Election Winners |
Get ready, SNH48 fans — the idol group is gearing up to unveil something monumental. Their 40th original EP, titled “Last Umbrella”, is slated for release on 17 October 2025, and it’s no ordinary drop.
This time, the cast is determined by the SNH48 2025 Election, bringing fresh faces and fan-favourite talents to the forefront.
The project doubles as the Request Time Best 30 EP, meaning the songs included reflect the top picks from the election’s voting process.
In total, the EP holds three tracks, each with a distinct musical style, yet unified under one message: youthful spirit, ambition, and unending energy.
“Last Umbrella” — the flagship track — is performed by the Top 16 election winners.

Expect a majestic, retro‐glamour vibe, polished with elegance and an air of theatrical flair.
The performers are: Yang Bingyi, Song Xinran, Bai Xinyu, Zhu Yixin, Zhang Qiongyu, Liu Zengyan, Jiang Shuting, Lin Shuqing, Zhou Xiang, Hu Xiaohui, You Miao, Ye Shuqi, Xu Chuwen, Qing Yuwen, Xie Shanshan, and Wang Ruiqi.
“Jinse Hai’an” (literal meaning: Golden Cloak) is carried by the members who ranked in the Top 32.
This track leans toward a romantic retro sound — soft, nostalgic, a little dreamy.
“Xin Xue Ji” (literal: New Semester) is brought by the Top 48 cohort.
It’s upbeat, energetic, youthful — a burst of optimism and cheer.
Each song has its own identity and mood, but together they echo a shared theme: never losing hope, keeping dreams alive, and charging forward with passion.
To match the grandeur of the main track, the production team actually flew off to Montenegro, Europe — a land of rugged mountains, shimmering coastlines, and medieval architecture — to shoot visuals worthy of this EP’s ambition.
The blend of nature, old-world charm, and fresh aesthetics aims to bring that retro-glamour fantasy to life.
In short: SNH48’s 40th EP isn’t just another record — it’s a statement.
With election-based lineups, three stylistically bold tracks, and visuals shot in an enchanting foreign locale, “Last Umbrella” is shaping up to be a highlight in their discography.
Keep your eyes peeled for the full release on 17 October 2025.
