HKT48 1st Single [Suki! Suki! Skip!] Tracklisting + Covers


HKT48 will release their debut single [Suki! Suki! Skip!] on 20 March 2013 via Universal Music. It will be released in three CD+DVD types and the usual CD only Theatre Edition. There were two separate types of sales which included the Theatre Edition. The first was individual member 2-shot tickets, and the second was individual member handshake tickets.

Three of the songs, [Suki! Suki! Skip!], [Kataomoi no Karaage], and [Ima ga Ichiban] will receive music videos. The generic coupling song [Onegai Valentine] is being used in a CM for Ghana chocolate, and is performed as part of Team H's 2nd Stage [Hakata Legend], as is [Seifuku no Bambi] and the lead track.

Like their first original song [Hatsukoi Butterfly], which was on AKB48's 29th single [Eien Pressure], 2nd generation kenkyuusei Tashima Meru is the centre here - even getting a solo cover on the Theatre Edition.

I really like the single and hope HKT48 do well on their debut! Aki-P has called Meru "the new Jurina" before, and I think it's just in her similar push to the front. Personally, I'd prefer Haruppi, who is the Team H centre.

Another new HKT48 song [Tanso no Gen](which is not included on this single), is used for a CM for a drawer company:
