74 Okubun no 1 no Kimi e (74億分の1の君へ; To you, the 1 out of 7.4 billion) is the 7th single from the Japanese idol girl group HKT48, released on April 13, 2016 by Universal Music Japan. It was debuted live during a live concert held on March 30, at Marine Messe Fukuoka.
This single was released in five different versions, and in addition, this release occurs in a very delicate moment for the group: the HKT closed its old theater, located in the Hawks Town Mall on March 31 and will be opening a new one, located in Nishitetsu Hall on April 28, two weeks after 7th single release.
The single was number-one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, with 238,828 copies sold. It was also number-one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
Only full versions from "74 Okubun no 1 no Kimi e" and "HKT-jou, Ima Ugoku" music videos are available on JPopAsia and JPopSuki. Other MVs (in full version) are not available on these sites to date. As the official channel HKT48 does not release full versions from music videos of coupling songs, only "74 Okubun no 1 no Kimi e" (MV Full) will be available along the release of "Saikō Kayo", on September 7, 2016. Instead of M-On, the full-size music video premiered on Space Shower TV.
This is the last single to feature Chihiro Anai, who announced her graduation on June 8, 2016.
