Saying you like something is rock ’n’ roll!Nogizaka 46

Nogizaka46’s 30th single, released in August 2022.

By the way, the center position for this track is Haruka Kaki.

It starts with a quiet piano intro that briefly makes you think, “Is this a ballad?” but once the song kicks in, it turns into a lively, uptempo number—nice little trick there! The vocal melody and overall feel are classic, straight-down-the-middle idol pop, which means anyone can easily pick it for karaoke and aim for a high score.

Without overthinking it, just enjoy singing and letting your voice out—that might be the secret to scoring big!

Dear Sir/Madam HakumaiNogizaka 46

This is a rice-themed song by Nogizaka46, the sister idol group of AKB48.

It’s included on their 15th single, “Hadashi de Summer,” released in 2016.

The comical lyrics, which insist that rice comes before anything else, are particularly memorable.

Nogizaka46 – It’d Be Nice to Become a Cloud (ROM | KAN | ENG) Lyrics
If only I could become a cloudNogizaka 46

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.

A song included on “Sayonara no Imi,” Nogizaka46’s 16th single released in 2016.

It is performed by Nogizaka46’s under members.

The song portrays an unfulfilled love between two people who care for each other, and even among the many under-member tracks that deal with heartbreak, this one stands out for its especially poignant sense of sorrow.

The song “Ma, Iika?” included on Nogizaka46’s 19th single “Itsuka Dekiru kara Kyou Dekiru” is a unit track by Manatsu Akimoto and Mai Shiraishi.

The music video features a “Best-of-Five” showdown where Akimoto and Shiraishi—who usually bicker but are actually close—take on Guinness-style challenges.

The MV shows their genuine frustration and other real reactions, which I think makes it especially appealing to fans.
