"River" is the 14th major single by the Japanese idol group AKB48, released on 21 October 2009. It was the first AKB48 single to top the Oricon weekly singles chart, having sold 179,000 copies in its first week. Thus it became the group's best selling single, beating "Namida Surprise!", which by then had sold 144,000 copies in 18 weeks.
The music video was filmed at Iruma Air Base.
The single was released in two versions: Regular Edition (通常盤?) (CD+DVD, catalog number KIZM-43/4); and Theater Edition (劇場盤?) (CD only, catalog number NMAX-1087). The bonuses for the first-press limited edition included a handshake event ticket for various locations (Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Tokyo), as well as a voting card for the AKB48 Request Hour Set List Best 100 2010. On the theater edition, the bonuses included a handshake event ticket (Tokyo Big Sight, SKE48 Theater), a special performance ticket lottery (live stage performances, karaoke competition, AKB meeting), and a random member photo.
