Nogizaka46 “At the Moment of Parting, I Fall Even More in Love” Trailer

A song released as a coupling track to Nogizaka46’s 2015 single “Taiyō Knock.” Performed by the Under Members, it beautifully captures, in a mature musical style unlike anything Nogizaka46 had done before, the bittersweet feeling of parting at the end of a day spent with someone special—when your love suddenly wells up uncontrollably.

Nogizaka46 – It’d Be Nice to Become a Cloud (ROM | KAN | ENG) Lyrics

Formed as AKB48’s official rival and now reigning over the J-POP scene as a top idol group, Nogizaka46.

The song “Kumo ni Nareba Ii” (“If Only I Could Become a Cloud”), included on the Type-A and Special Edition of their 20th single “Synchronicity,” was used as the theme song for the TV program “Mezamashi Doyoubi” from April 7, 2018 to September 29, 2018.

Its lyrics—suggesting that when things don’t go your way, it’s okay to just go with the flow—may lighten the hearts of those who tend to carry too much on their shoulders.

It’s a refreshing pop tune distinguished by the delicate sound of acoustic guitar that lingers in your ears.

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 reason I’m hereNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 “The Reason I’m Here” Short Ver.

It’s a song by the Under Members with two music videos: a dance version, and another that simply shows the members continuously eating.

The adorable MV that makes you hungry just by watching is a must-see.

To You in the LibraryNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46 'To the Girl in the Library' Short Ver.

A song by the 4th generation members from the 2019 single “You Don’t Have to Put on a Brave Face Until Dawn.” The concept is very unique: it features girls who don’t even know what glasses are, experiencing declining eyesight and wearing glasses for the first time.

Triggered by Saya Kanagawa, a sudden glasses boom sweeps through the class.

The production is meticulous, with all props like eye test charts custom-made.

The “Glasses Dance” that appears in the MV is a must-see and utterly adorable.

As We Were BornNogizaka 46

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?

Nogizaka46 “As We Were Born” Short Ver.

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.
