Nogizaka46 “Gomen ne Fingers crossed”

A complex state of mind—saying goodbye while wishing someone luck—lies at the heart of this 27th single, released in June 2021.

It’s a strikingly cool track with a brisk, driving arrangement that really stands out.

The lyrics blend a resignation akin to saying “I’m sorry” to a relationship that drifted apart with the strength to hope for the other person’s future.

Despite being their first non-tie-in single in a while, it won the Excellence Award at the 63rd Japan Record Awards.

This farewell song isn’t just sad; its positive side may give listeners the courage to move forward.

A Nogizaka46 number sung as a cheer for people staying home due to COVID-19 and for those fighting every day on the medical front lines.

In addition to current members, former members who had already graduated also took part and showcased their voices.

The PV was made by stitching together self-shot footage taken by each Nogizaka member in her own location, so you can also catch a glimpse of their lives while staying home.

The lyrics—saying that even if we can’t meet now, our feelings remain connected, so let’s each do our best where we are until the next time we can meet—will resonate with anyone who has lived through this experience.

Nogizaka46 “Things I Don’t Mean”

Nogizaka46 is an idol group that debuted as AKB48’s official rival and has continued to lead the front lines of the Sakamichi Series.

“Kokoro nimo Nai Koto,” included on their 32nd single “Hito wa Yume wo Nido Miru,” is a track by 5th-generation members that has drawn attention as a song said to feel natural no matter who takes the center position.

The contrast between the delicate, translucent piano tones and the cute vocals, combined with the sentimental lyrics, stirs a bittersweet feeling.

It’s a catchy pop tune that truly befits a classic, orthodox idol song.
