Overseasidol.com — Japanese idol group NMB48 has officially revealed details for their upcoming 33rd single titled “Hajimete no All”, set to be released on May 27, 2026.
Along with the announcement, the group also shared the concept, tracklist, and striking jacket visuals that highlight a nostalgic retro theme.
The timing of the announcement is particularly meaningful, as it coincides with Showa Day on April 29, which in 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the Showa era.
Reflecting this milestone, the title track embraces a classic “mood kayou” style, blending old-school Japanese pop influences with a youthful coming-of-age story.
Visually, the single’s cover features vibrant colors and collage-style artwork, creating a vintage aesthetic that still feels modern and dynamic.
This artistic direction reinforces the theme of connecting past and present through music.
Group captain Shiotsuki Keito takes the center position once again, marking her third time leading a title track.
Her continued role as center highlights her strong presence and importance within the group.
The senbatsu lineup includes 16 members: Aohara Yuka, Ike Honoka, Ishiyama Chihiro, Izumi Ayano, Itagaki Koharu, Okagoshi Seira, Sakashita Makoto, Sakata Misaki, Sakurada Ayaka, Shiotsuki Keito, Shinazawa Nao, Tatsumoto Yayoi, Haga Rei, Hirayama Mai, Mikamo Kurumi, and Tanaka Rei.
The single will be available in multiple editions, including Type-A, Type-B, and Type-C, each offering different coupling tracks and bonus Blu-ray content such as special events and footage from NMB48’s 15th anniversary live performances.
A theater edition will also be released with a more compact format.
