Editor's note

Takahashi Minami, from AKB48 captain to solo artist

The former idol group leader now writes songs about personal reflection and emotion.

For a sense of her solo sound, try 'Kiss Miss Kiss' or 'Sabita Rock'. They give you a good idea of what she's been doing since leaving the group.

After leaving AKB48 in 2016, Takahashi Minami started making music that feels more direct and personal. Songs like 'Kiss Miss Kiss' and 'Sabita Rock' have a different energy than her idol work, and she's collaborated with musicians like Kensuke Ushio and the Yoshida Brothers. People who follow her solo career tend to connect with that straightforward emotional quality in her writing.

She joined AKB48 in 2005, became the group's captain in 2012, and left in 2016. Her solo work began with the single 'Janeiro' in 2017, followed by albums like 'Me' in 2018 and 'Dream' in 2021. She performs mostly as a solo artist with session players for live shows.
