"Special Generation" (スッペシャル ジェネレ~ション, Supesharu Generēshon) is the sixth single by the all-girl J-pop group Berryz Kobo, released in March 30, 2005.
The single placed 7th in the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart,
It became the group's first single (or album) to rank in the Top 10 and also its first to sell over 20,000 copies. At that time, the group's average age was below 12 years.
Special Generation was an American new jack swing/urban R&B quintet that was the brainchild of M.C. Hammer. They sang backup on several of his recordings (such as "U Can't Touch This", "Help the Children" and "Have You Seen Her"), before becoming major recording artists in their own right in early 1990. That same year, their debut album, Take It To The Floor went gold, was released and did well in the music/recording industry due in part to the ballad "Love Me Just For Me" (peaked at #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1990) and the mid-tempo R&B Top Ten Hit "Spark of Love". Troop member Steven Russell appeared on their second album, Butterflies (1993).
