CD Cover

French Kiss was a subgroup of japanese supergroup AKB48 formed in June 2010 and disbanded in November 2015. They released six singles (Zutto Mae Kara, If, Kakkowarui I love you!, Saisho no Mail, Romance Privacy and Omoidasenai Hana) and one album (French Kiss). Though they were loved by the fans their farewell concert (Last Kiss, 05 November 2015) was their only one.

Members were Asuka Kuramochi (Mochi, *1989), Aki Takajo (Akicha, *1991) and Yuki Kashiwagi (Yukirin, *1991) .The first two left AKB immediatedly after the disbandment, only Yuki is still working there - momentarily as the oldest member.


Omoidasenai Hana (english: Forgotten Flower) is the name giving song of their last single. Point of interest is here the cute (but way too short) puppy love story that is interwoven in the second part of the video (confer the lyrics). The name of the little girl is Erika Murashige, sister of HKT48 member Anna Murashige and russian on mothers side. Of the boy I cannot say anything but I think it's even more obvious that he is partly european ...

Lyrics (english translation):
Spoiler:

The forgotten flower
Blooms along the road
You taught me of it
One day
That tiny white flower

It had a simple name
Even a child could remember...
But for some reason back then
I was interested in flowers of other colors

Seasons come and go
Though I believed in eternity
The person who meant most to me
Became more and more distant

The forgotten flower (the forgotten flower)
I can't find it anywhere (I can't find it anywhere)
Its beautiful petals
Have been swept away by the wind
Scattered along with my tears

The forgotten flower (the forgotten flower)
Blooms all alone (all alone)
Along the railroad tracks
Among the weeds
The white flower from that day

Flipping open a book on flowers (flipping open a book on flowers)
I tried searching for it (I tried)
But thought “this one looks different” and “I don't think it's this”
I didn't have faith in my memory

I loved you so much
I never realized it then
I only understood that what I had is irreplacable
After I lost it

The forgotten flower (the forgotten flower)
Sways to and fro in my heart (in my heart)
When I close my eyes
I feel I can hear
Your voice from the past

If it can be done (if it can be done)
I want you to tell me
The name of that flower (the name of that flower)
Once more
Ooh...
Seasons come and go
Though I believed in eternity
The person who meant most to me
Became more and more distant

The forgotten flower (the forgotten flower)
I can't find it anywhere (I can't find it anywhere)
Its beautiful petals
Have been swept away by the wind
Scattered along with my tears

Very well possible - AKB48, its sub-units and sister groups somewhat rule the pop music scene in Japan and are extremely popular in other asian countries. They even made a single with a very funny video about it (Kibouteki Refrain) ;): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWnLRboP6LI (sorry, bad video quality :( ...)
