Even now, my first loveNogizaka 46
This song is a bit unusual, expressing the feelings of “me,” who has continued waiting for his first love—the girl who left town three years ago to chase her dreams.

A KISS that’s not as impressive as it soundsNogizaka 46
Even when the A-side is the same song, idol CDs often include a different track on the B-side.
This song is included as the B-side on Type-B of the single “Boku wa Boku o Suki ni Naru.” The lyrics are by Yasushi Akimoto, producer of Nogizaka46.
The line “I was really looking forward to that kiss, but it wasn’t such a big deal after all” has just the right amount of heart-fluttering charm to tickle not only girls’ hearts but boys’ as well! While the lyrics alone might make you blush, the bright, upbeat arrangement ties it all together beautifully.
A must-listen, even if you’re not a fan.
Out of the blueNogizaka 46
A pop tune by Nogizaka46’s 4th generation featuring Seira Hayakawa as center.
The music video, which captures the lively chaos of a school trip, is wildly over-the-top and incredibly impactful.
In the choreography, the chorus includes an irresistibly cute move that mimics a cat beckoning.
After the official dance video was posted on TikTok, it spread as celebrities like Kyutaro Sueyoshi from CUBERS and Angora Soncho covered it.
Perfectly matching the bright, happy vibe of the 4th generation, the song’s casual, dance-inspiring choreography is a major draw!
Friendship earringsNogizaka 46
“Friendship Piercing” is a song by Momoko Ozono and Sakura Endo, members of the idol group Nogizaka46.
It’s a gentle friendship anthem that showcases the two idols’ clear, translucent vocals.
It’s packed to the brim with the kinds of words from a friend that make you happy to hear.
Even lines that might feel embarrassing to say out loud don’t feel embarrassing at all when put into a song.
Its straightforward lyrics, full of kindness and affection for a friend, make it a perfect track to gift to someone you care about.
To You in the LibraryNogizaka 46
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.

This song, Parallel Lines, is included as a coupling track on Nogizaka46’s 23rd single released in May 2019.
It’s a straightforward love song and idol song—fresh and so catchy it makes you want to start dancing.
The music video was reportedly filmed with most of a shopping street and town in Ibaraki Prefecture reserved for the shoot.
The scenes of them dancing in the middle of town during the chorus are irresistibly cute—you’ll want to imitate them.
It’s the kind of dance tune that makes even viewers feel like breaking into a dance.
