Kamikyokutachi (神曲たち, "Masterpieces") is the second compilation album by the Japanese idol group AKB48. It was released in Japan on April 7, 2010, and contains 16 songs, 14 of which had been previously released as singles. The album topped the weekly Oricon Albums Chart.[1][2]

The regular edition was released by King Records as a CD+DVD. The CD features 16 music tracks and the DVD has four video clips, three of which are choreography videos. In Japan, the album came with a photo of one of the 12 cover girls.[note 1]

A theater edition was also released by King Records.[when?] It consists of 14 of the 16 music tracks. Instead of the DVD, there is a bonus CD with an audio commentary by the group on the 14 songs. It is packaged with an autograph signing ticket event held at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall.[clarification needed]
