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

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.

Its fresh, grand sound feels like a cool breeze.

Listening to it on a hot summer day might make you feel refreshed.

Perhaps the pure side of idols resonates with children as well.

Just listening to it makes you feel excited, doesn’t it? For those who are about to give birth, the title “Umaretamama de” might evoke the image of a baby, don’t you think?

I didn’t realize they’d put out such a great song.

It’s my first time hearing it, but it’s so good—bright and uplifting—that I want to listen to it over and over.

I think that when I’m feeling anxious about raising my child from now on, listening to it will make me feel like I can keep doing my best.

♬ jumping joker flash – Nogizaka46

The song released as the coupling track for “Suki to Iu no wa Rock da ze!” became a hit on TikTok.

“Jumping Joker Flash” means “a fun person who’s always cracking jokes.” Even among Nogizaka’s songs, it’s a super high-energy, hyped-up track.

The lyric “Let’s make some noise without listening to what the grown-ups say!” is also pretty rare for Nogizaka, who usually gives off an honor-student vibe.

When they shout the song title “Jumping Joker Flash” in the chorus and jump, it’s nothing but fun.

By the way, the Type-B CD jacket of the single that includes this track features an all-star lineup: Asuka Saito, Mizuki Yamashita, and Yuki Yoda!

The fourth lightNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 'The Fourth Light' Short Ver.

It’s a song by the 4th generation members included on the Type-D version of Nogizaka46’s 23rd single, “Sing Out!”.

Nogizaka46 is divided into “generations” based on when members passed their auditions.

The title likely reflects lyricist Yasushi Akimoto’s hope that they will become the “fourth light.” The school-themed world suits the fresh 4th generation perfectly, and the song features a melody brimming with the refreshing charm characteristic of idols.
