"Kaze wa Fuiteiru" (風は吹いている?, "The Wind Is Blowing") is the 23rd single by the Japanese girl idol group AKB48, released on October 26, 2011.
The title of the upcoming October single by AKB48 was first announced to 20,000 fans present at the handshake event held to celebrate the launch of the group's 22nd single, "Flying Get", at the Nagoya Dome on September 4.
The single was released in 5 versions: Type A Regular and Limited editions, Type B Regular and Limited editions, and a Theater Edition.
It was written with lyric meant to ease the pain of the tsunami victims from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, as well as part of the large relief process to help out with restoration as the group has donated over 1.25 billion yen, and continue to hold monthly trip visit to tsunami areas to perform free concerts for the children and elderly in those areas.
