Nogizaka46 'Runway' Short Ver.

It’s the coupling track from the single “Kassōro” (Runway), performed by Nogizaka46’s Under Members.

Nogizaka46 always delivers clean, feminine dance performances, and that purity remains unchanged in this song by the Under Members.

The PV, filmed somewhere in Tokyo, features refreshing choreography.

Above all, one of their greatest charms is that their dances make you want to get up and move along with the Nogizaka members!

Nogizaka46 'A Presence Like' Short Ver.

This is a song by Nogizaka46, a popular idol group supported by people of all ages, not just elementary school students.

It’s included on their 23rd single, “Sing Out!”, released in 2019.

It’s a slightly bittersweet unrequited love song with a mature dance-music sound.

The clear, translucent vocals are lovely and soothing.

Our GoodbyeNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 “Our Goodbye”

Many of you probably remember this single as the one released when Manatsu Akimoto graduated.

Featured on the 32nd single, “Hito wa Yume o Nido Miru,” released in 2023, this song portrays a bittersweet farewell just as its title suggests.

The more you listen, the more it pierces your heart and brings you to tears.

Perhaps you, too, have said goodbye to someone dear while holding on to feelings like these.

Its relatively modest vocal range makes it easy to sing, which may be one reason it’s so beloved.

Courage in the left chestNogizaka 46

I tried singing Nogizaka46’s “Courage on the Left Chest” T

When I listen to this song, I can’t be the only one who vividly recalls footage from their early debut days.

That’s how often it used to be played on TV shows and the like back then.

It’s an idol song I recommend, featuring a dance where all the members line up in a single row and perform together.

Nogizaka46 'Shibo Enkyou' Short Ver.

This music video was filmed at the Ura Desert on Izu Ōshima in Tokyo.

As it happens, I’ve actually been there, so when the MV was released, I felt strangely happy.

Everyone’s faces still look so young and adorable.

Something valuableNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 'Things of Value'

Nogizaka46 is a classic-style idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto, formed as the official rival to AKB48.

They have been active since 2011.

The number “46” was chosen by Akimoto to signify that even with fewer members than AKB48, they wouldn’t lose, and the group has been differentiated from the AKB family in everything from tour style to choreography.

Many people get hooked on their sophisticated members and high-quality songs and vocals! Dive into their many charms and let yourself fall down the rabbit hole!

Melody of SpringNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 'Spring Melody' Short Ver.

It has a very bright tone, but it’s definitely a proper breakup song, you know? It’s actually a positive song! The lyrics might be especially recommended for students.

For working adults, try listening while reminiscing.

In the song, it’s compared to snow melting away in spring.

The way the impression can change this brightly is something only idols can pull off.
