It is used as the commercial song for Palty’s Foaming Pack Hair Color.
The commercial features Mai Shiraishi, who is part of Nogizaka46’s “Eleven Fukujin” and has been selected as a member.
The song is characterized by its catchy and familiar sound.
Time-Limited Unrequited LoveNogizaka 46

This is a coming-of-age song that captures the poignant first love and courage of a girl on the verge of graduation.
Performed by Nogizaka46’s 6th generation, it’s included on the March 2025 single “Navel Orange.” The clean, pure vocals and the delicate arrangement woven by piano and strings leave a strong impression.
It’s a song that gently gives a push to anyone who can’t quite bring themselves to confess their feelings.
Be sure to give it a listen during graduation season.
Riding on a white cloudNogizaka 46

This song, which is included as a B-side on the debut single Guruguru Curtain, feels exactly like a classic idol song.
Its fluffy melody and dance are soothing.
I like it because, for a Nogizaka track, it has an unusually strong idol vibe.
a grace period until thenNogizaka 46

This is a Nogizaka46 song with an appealing disco-funk sound.
The lyrics, which portray the fleeting nature of youth, are striking and depict youth as a grace period for dreaming.
Fifth-generation member Nao Tomisato serves as the center, showcasing a new side of the group.
The track is included on the single “Hodōkyō,” released on December 11, 2024, and was also pre-released digitally.
In the music video, created with the cooperation of the University of Shizuoka, the free-spirited lives of young people are depicted.
It’s a recommended song both for those who feel nostalgic about their youth and for those who are currently living it to the fullest.

That day, I told a lie on the spur of the moment.Nogizaka 46

Including its heartrending lyrics, this is a fall song by the idol group Nogizaka46 whose highly dramatic development strikes a chord.
It richly expresses the autumn vibe that follows the end of a radiant summer and anticipates the coming winter.
Although it’s a danceable idol track with a four-on-the-floor beat, it still draws you deeply into its world.
The members look great, of course, but this is a song where I want you to pay close attention to the lyrics and the arrangement as well.
swingNogizaka 46

This is a poignant song that conveys the melancholy of autumn through the gentle sway of a swing.
Released in November 2016 as a track by Nogizaka46’s Under Members, it features Ranze Terada as the center.
In the music video, the struggles of members striving to make the selected lineup are depicted symbolically, creating a deeply moving effect in tandem with the song.
The lyrics are striking for overlaying the ache of unrequited love and the passage of time with the motion of a swinging seat.
It’s a nostalgic piece that makes you want to listen while swaying on a park swing at autumn dusk.
At the moment of parting, I fall even more in love.Nogizaka 46

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.
