Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu Looks to Make 'Suki' a Universal Language with Latest Music Video!

“Suki! ~Cho ver~”, the  hit from popular girl idol group Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu, is sweeping the world! 

While the song was first a smash hit in Japan, it recently took the No.1 spot on the TikTok chart in Korea – and now the buzz has spread to Indonesia, where the song hit No.1 on Spotify’s daily Indonesia Viral 50 chart (as of November 20, 2021). 

“Suki!”  has even busted out of Asia, becoming a hurricane of global proportions: The song has charted on Apple Music’s country by country charts, reaching No.2 in Azerbaijan, No.10 in Portugal, No.15 in Norway, No.19 in the Netherlands, No.30 in the United Arab Emirates, No.35 in South Africa, No.39 in Ecuador, No.40 in Poland, No.43 in Honduras and No. 50 in Sweden over the past month (to November 17). 

“Suki! ~Cho ver~” is a new version of “Suki!”, which was first released on the April 2018 album Tokiotome. The new version is performed by the group’s current lineup and was included on the mini-album Suki Suki Suki Suki Suki Suki!, released in September this year. The word “Suki!”, which means “I like you” or “I love you” in Japanese, is sung some 114 times on the song, and this lyric along with a cute dance that involves making a heart shape with your hands became one of this year’s biggest TikTok memes. The “Suki!” dance then leapt across the ocean, and in September, the official double-speed version of the song reached No.1 on the Korean TikTok weekly song chart. Views of the music video and live videos on YouTube continue to grow ever larger.

On hearing that the song was No.1 on Spotify’s Indonesia Viral 50 chart, the six members of Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu commented on their feelings of joy and surprise, which you can read below. Yoshikawa Hiyori represented the group’s feelings by saying, “Let’s make the word ‘Suki!’ a universal language! I hope that more and more people around Japan and the rest of the world can get to know Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu, and that we can perform live for our fans everywhere!! It was amazing to see TikTok users dancing to “Suki! ~Cho ver~” in Korea, and now I hope we can go on a tour of Asia!! I want to visit Korea and Indonesia!!”

The original version of “Suki!” is ranked at No.9 on the same chart, meaning that both versions are in the Top 10 simultaneously – an impressive achievement. Be sure to check out the music video of “Suki!~Cho ver” below!
