Jiwaru DAYS (ジワるDAYS) is the 1st Generation special single released by BNK48. This single commemorates the graduation of BNK48's 1st Generation who decided to not renew their contracts.

Therefore, this single is the formal 'graduation' single of the entire generation as we know it.

Trivia[]
Song[]
- Jiwaru DAYS is the second BNK48 song (after Sayonara Crawl) to retain its original title in Japanese instead of using a translated Thai title.
- From September 1–6, 2022, a poll was opened where fans could use the BNK Token to choose the first coupling song of the single.
- Pioneer (AKB48) (1091.43 points)
- GAGAGA (SDN48) (901.56 points)
- Kaze wa Fuiteiru (AKB48) (175.90 points)
- Throughout the selection, GAGAGA had been leading the poll until it was overtaken by Pioneer during the last 5 minutes before it closed.
- Had GAGAGA won the poll and became the coupling song for this single, it would've been the first SDN48 song to be translated by an international sister group, although its original lyrics contains Korean words.
- Although GAGAGA lost to Pioneer, but it was later included in the group's 18th single Green Flash.
- Some of BNK48 1st Generation members revealed that there were other songs which they had proposed to include in this single but were rejected by the management: AKB48's UZA (28th Single) and Teacher Teacher (52nd Single), and SKE48's FRUSTRATION (25th Single).
Music Video[]
- The music video for Jiwaru DAYS was filmed in King's College International School Bangkok.
Participation[]
- All 1st Generation members have voted for the centers of each song.
- TOP 3 voted were chosen as Triple Center for Jiwaru DAYS. This is also the first time that a main song in overseas 48G has triple center.
- TOP 2 voted were chosen as Double Center for Pioneer.
- TOP 1 voted were chosen as Center for Sakura no Ki ni Narou.
- Centers and front members position (A-D) result:
- Last single to feature only members from BNK48 1st Generation.
- Last single and Senbatsu of Jane, Jennis, Jib, Kaew, Kate, Korn, Noey, Piam, Pun, Tarwaan, Pupe, Namneung, Jaa, Orn, Namsai, Mobile, Music, Kaimook, and Mind.
- Also, this is the Last Senbatsu of Satchan.
Other Details[]
- This is a graduation single for BNK48 1st Generation. All the members of the first generation except Cherprang, Miori and Satchan are graduating.
- This special single originated from Miori's idea. Originally, she offered the graduation song for all 1st generation members. At first, there will only be one song but the management considered and gave the special single to them instead.
- Due to BNK48's contracts lasting for 6 years, members can choose to not renew and therefore graduate, which is the case for 19 members of the 1st Generation.
