Nogizaka46’s God-Tier Songs: Grabbing Fans’ Hearts! A Collection of Hits and Hidden Gems

The Right to JealousyNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 “Right to Jealousy” Short Ver.

It’s a song by the Under Members with Miona Hori as the center.

It poignantly yet coolly portrays the inner conflict of a girl who gets jealous over the boy she likes, even though they aren’t actually dating.

The members’ mature expressions and choreography are particularly striking.

Actually…Nogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 'Actually…'

This song, with Aruno Nakanishi as the center, was released in 2022 as the group’s 29th single.

It’s an upbeat, catchy track, but the vocal melody consists of relatively relaxed, broad phrases, making it fairly easy to sing in karaoke and a good candidate for a high score.

I feel that clearly contrasting the strength of your voice between the chorus and the other parts is important when expressing this song.

Please keep that in mind as you sing.

However, if you force your voice and belt during the chorus, it can ruin the song’s atmosphere, so try to always sing with a gentle tone.

I see…Nogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 “I see…”

A stylish track that fuses idol pop with dance music, “I see…”.

It’s a song released in March 2020 by the hugely popular idol group Nogizaka46.

While keeping the catchy appeal typical of idol songs at its core, it incorporates an old-school disco-inspired arrangement that brings out a new charm in Nogizaka46.

In large groups, members differ in vocal range and singing ability, so songs are crafted to be reasonably easy for any member to sing.

In terms of range, melody, and rhythm, you should find it easy to sing—so give it a try!

Nogizaka46 'Steep Slope' Short Ver.

A song released as a coupling track for Nogizaka46’s 14th single, “Harujion ga Saku Koro.” It likens the person you’ve fallen for to a “steep slope,” conveying that half-hearted feelings won’t make love come true and giving you a push to sprint up that hill with all your might.

Sung by Mai Shiraishi, Sayuri Matsumura, and Nanami Hashimoto, the music video—featuring the three performing instruments—is also a must-see.

Midsummer day!Nogizaka 46

Midsummer day!

This is a song by the idol group Nogizaka46.

It was released in 2025 as a track on their 39th single.

Chosen as the “Nogizaka46 Meiji Jingu Stadium Performance 10th Memorial Song,” it’s an up-tempo summer tune.

Its bouncy rhythm and liberating melody line feel great, making you want to take off running as soon as you hear it.

The lyrics express feelings for a loved one encountered by chance on a midsummer day, and that sweet-and-sour worldview is part of its charm.

It’s a bright piece that also spotlights the expressive performance of center member Haruka Kaki.

Nogizaka46: “Goodbye” Is Bittersweet

Nogizaka46 is a popular idol group supported by many young men and women.

Even with K-pop–style artists being the mainstream, they still enjoy enduring popularity.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for women who struggle with pitch is “’Well, see you’ Is Bittersweet.” It features a fair number of higher notes, but the melody progresses at a relaxed pace, so there aren’t any sudden jumps in pitch.

The falsetto parts also don’t require a lot of volume, so be sure to check it out.

The B-side track to “Kimi no Na wa Kibou” is a song about a girl who goes to the beach in a swimsuit with her boyfriend for the first time.

The solo parts and the dance are highlights.

Nogizaka’s songs sometimes have quirky titles like this one, which is interesting and also adds to their charm.
