flick on the foreheadNogizaka 46

A song by five members—Mai Shiraishi, Kazumi Takayama, Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Fukagawa, and Sayuri Matsumura.
It’s an adorable track that makes your heart race even at the penalty-game forehead flick.
With its relaxed melody and lyrics that sing about a casual page from everyday life, it’s a heart-fluttering song.
Sun KnockNogizaka 46

This is the theme song for the sports-themed drama “Hatsumori Bemars,” featuring the group’s members.
It also drew attention because Rina Ikoma returned to the center position for the first time in seven releases.
It’s a bright, summery track, and in keeping with the drama, performances at live shows sometimes featured uniform-style outfits, which left a strong impression.
When I realized it, I was in unrequited love.Nogizaka 46

This is the song for which Nanase Nishino—now the unshakable, absolute ace—served as center for the first time.
Thanks to its excellent lyrics, it became a track that helped boost Nogizaka46’s popularity among women.
In the music video, Nishino, whose character has only a short time left due to illness, struggles to fulfill her role as center, making it very moving.
I might have wanted to see you.Nogizaka 46

This is an arrangement of AKB48’s “Aitakatta,” and it’s a track that really conveys the feel of an official rival.
While “Aitakatta” has a bright, summery vibe, this one carries a somewhat darker image, and the music video is relatively monotone, providing a contrast.
Spinning CurtainNogizaka 46

This is Nogizaka46’s debut song, with Rina Ikoma as the center.
The bold choreography of flipping up their skirts was shocking and drew attention, but I think the worldview depicting a sweet, girls-only world perfectly matches the pure image of Nogizaka46.
pedestrian overpassNogizaka 46

A moving song themed around life choices and stepping into the future.
Set in the season of cold, wintry winds, it portrays the inner turmoil of the protagonist as they hesitate over whether to cross a pedestrian bridge.
Released on December 11, 2024, the track features Sakura Endo as center, and among fans it’s been discussed as a possible answer song to “Kikkake.” It’s a perfect song for those standing at a crossroads in life or considering a new challenge.
