*First-served bonus: Contents to be determined have ended. AKB48 celebrated the major milestone of their 20th anniversary with a spectacular performance at Nippon Budokan. The long-awaited 67th single! As expectations and excitement for the new AKB48 grow, the center role for the 67th single, marking the first step in creating AKB48's history, has been entrusted to 19th generation member Momoka Ito. Her appearances on music shows and other media outlets have sparked social media buzz with comments like, "Who's that girl!?" and "Her visuals are so striking!" Ito has been promoted from trainee to truly become a central member, taking center position on the new-age single. While expressing respect for the legendary alumni she performed with during the group's 20th anniversary year, she never backs down on her performance on stage, showing further growth. When the new center was announced, she said with tears in her eyes, "We at AKB48 are aiming for even greater heights!" as she spoke of her determination and resolve to lead the group into the future. The new song, "Nagori Sakura," will be released ahead of the season of meetings and partings. AKB48 songs with the word "sakura" (cherry blossom) in their names, such as "Sakura no Hanabiratachi," "Sakura no Ki ni Naru," and "10-nen Sakura," are particularly well-known masterpieces. But what kind of flower will Ito Momoka bloom with her first single of 2026? Stay tuned! B-sides include Mion Mukaichi's graduation song, a song celebrating the promotion of the 19th generation members, a song featuring the first 21st generation trainees, and a song from the TV program "Akimoto Yasushi vs. AI Akimoto Yasushi - AKB48 New Song Production Showdown." The Blu-ray included with the first limited edition (TYPE-A, B, C) features performance footage of 18 carefully selected songs from the Nippon Budokan concert stage in December 2025, divided into different formats.
