Natsumatope＝LOVE
=LOVE is a 10-member girls’ group produced by former AKB48 member Rino Sashihara, born as a new kind of voice-actor idol trained in voice acting.
Their 14th single, “Natsu Matopie,” drew attention for its double-center lineup featuring Maika Sasaki and Iori Noguchi.
Showcasing cute vocals in a refreshing ensemble, the track perfectly evokes the scenes of summer.
With plenty of call-and-response moments, it’s an upbeat tune guaranteed to fire up live shows and karaoke alike.
More than lovers, less than love (TV Size)＝LOVE
A song by =LOVE produced by Rino Sashihara.
Chosen as the opening theme for a TV anime, the track is included on their 18th single slated for release in February 2025.
This song, which depicts complex feelings of love, features a pop, catchy melody.
Its lyrics align with the anime’s world, expressing the protagonists’ delicate relationships.
Members Kiara Saito, Hitomi Takamatsu, and Iori Noguchi are also set to appear as voice actors in the anime.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who’s experiencing the frustrations of love!
Operation: Second Semester Debut!!otome shintou
It’s a song that was also an anime theme.
The realistic lyrics from a middle school girl’s perspective are interesting.
The tempo is fast, so it takes practice, but if you sing it cutely, you’ll be able to surprise those around you.
It’s a recommended track for summer.
Why do we run?Nogizaka 46
This is a song by Nogizaka46 that vividly captures the dazzling glow of youth—being driven by something for no reason at all.
In response to the question of why we run and sweat, the lyrics boldly declare, “There’s no meaning,” embodying that uniquely youthful impulse where the body moves before the mind can think.
Perhaps it’s precisely because it’s sung by the 6th generation, the group’s next wave, that the words carry a genuine, unfeigned radiance.
Included on the single “Same numbers,” released in July 2025, this track is a youth pop anthem that blends coolness with an emotional resonance.
Same numbersNogizaka 46
This is a delicate yet beautiful mid-tempo number by Nogizaka46 that captures the feeling of sensing a special meaning in a digital clock’s repeating digits you happen to glance at.
The song was released in July 2025 as the group’s 39th single.
It carries a positive message that frames a heart wavering between hope and reality not as coincidence, but as a story of inevitability.
When you feel a fateful connection in an ordinary moment, or when you want to believe in your own choices, listening to this song might make everyday life shine a little brighter.
