[[caption-width-right:170:The logo of the group, because like [=AKB48=], getting a picture will be quite hard.]]

The sister group of Music/{{AKB48}}, and like this one, it has more than 48 members currently split into 3 teams - S, KII and E, as well as a group of trainees.

The group currently performs in its theatre at the Sunshine Sakae in Sakae in Nagoya, Japan, with each team performing stages-set lists of songs.

Please list any tropes related with the girls directly in the character page, because it Needs More Love.
----
!![=SKE48=] provides examples of the following tropes:

* AlterEgoActing: In general, most of the members do Type 3 when appearing on TV or performing in live events, as part of their "idol persona" or "chara".
** Jurina Matsui does Type 1 on one occasion, during a livestream on April Fools' Day, as her wrestling persona/character from ''Tofu Pro Wrestling'', Hollywood Jurina. She even voices her support towards idol Jurina.
* AnimeThemeSong: Their first single was used as the second ending of Anime/MazingerZ's newest incarnation.
* BeachEpisode: The [=PVs=] for "Gomen ne, SUMMER" and "Pareo wa Emerald". Also, the beach-set scenes in "Utsukushii Inazuma", "Bukiyou Taiyou" and "Maenomeri".
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Nearly all of SKE's singles seem summery and cheerful...except for "Kataomoi Finally" and "Bukiyou Taiyou".
* TheCallPutMeOnHold: Sarina Souda first auditioned for AKB 3rd Generation in 2006, and took a couple more auditions until she finally made it into SKE at the age of 20 through the Draft system in 2013, being the very last selected out of all draftees. Four years later, she ranked #8 in the Senbatsu Elections.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each member is associated with a different light stick color combination so she can recognize her fans from the crowd.
* ConcertKiss: At the end of "Kiss Datte Hidakiri" two members (usually Jurina and Rena) kiss.
* CoverVersion: Currently, the three teams perform existing AKB stages (although both Team S and KII have had original stages in the past) However, it's been announced that the three teams will get original stages, with Team S being the first.
** This gets noted in Team KII's "Omatase Setlist", with the girls celebrating that their greatest dream (getting an original stage) has been granted, after having to suffer how their seniors had original songs while they had to cover old ones.
* CrossOver: SKE members such as Jurina and Rena often appear in [=AKB48's=] singles, while the group also gets to participate in [=AKB48=] concerts as well as events like the Janken Tournament and the General Election.
** Jurina from Team S and Kanon and Rena from Team E used to have concurrent positions in AKB's Team K, HKT's Team KIV and Music/Nogizaka46 respectively. Milky from NMB's Team BII and Sae from SNH's Team NII have a concurrent position on Team S as well.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It is based in Sakae and has at least 40 members.
* FreakyFridayFlip: In an SKE only episode of the radio drama series, "Watashitachi Monogatari", which was titled "Futari (Two)", Jurina and Rena switched bodies after falling down a flight of stairs. To avoid confusion, listeners were given the VoicesAreMental treatment.
%%* FriendlyRivalry: With Music/NMB48.
* GreatBallsOfFire: Featured in the "Utsukushii Inazuma" PV.
* HotterAndSexier: Compare "Utsukushii Inazuma" to the rest of their singles.
* IdolSinger
* {{Joshikousei}}: The girls act as these in many of their [=PVs=].
* ListSong: 'SKE Oshi' and 'Team KII Oshi" list the names of members.
** "16-iro no yume Crayon" also counts for Team KII.
* MayDecemberRomance: Implied in the lyrics of 'Escape'.
* ProductPlacement: In "GALAXY of DREAMS" from the "Mirai to wa?" single, the girls appear surrounded by Samsung Galaxy phones, since the song was used for a commercial.
* PungeonMaster: Jurina Matsui is known for this.
* RailEnthusiast: Rena Matsui is one and stars in a dorama which revolves around Nagoya trains, ''Nagoya Iki Saishuu Ressha'', to this day.
* SameSurnameMeansRelated: Averted with Jurina Matsui and Rena Matsui, nicknamed the "Double Matsui", who are not related.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: As seen in several of the [=PVs=] such as "Tsuyoki mono yo".
* SpontaneousChoreography: The [=PV=] for "Banzai Venus".
* SurrealMusicVideo: The video for "TWO ROSES" is quite... artistic.
* VarietyShow: "[=SKE48=] no Magical Radio" is the most notable.
** The "Ebi" series (Ebi Friday Night, Ebisho, and Ebi Calcio), hosted by comedian Kayako Okubo.
** ''SKEBINGO'', a spinoff of Series/AKBingo, was recently announced to premiere in January 2019. The show will focus on acting.
* YoungAndInCharge: Jurina has been a leading member of the group ever since she debuted at ''eleven years old''. A few months after her debut, she also became the center of Music/AKB48's single "Oogoe Diamond", which was also the first time a sister group member centered an AKB single.
