Keyakizaka46 'Silent Majority'

It’s one of Keyakizaka46’s signature songs, showcasing the cool vibe that characterizes much of their music.

The melody isn’t exactly easy to sing, but it’s oddly catchy and has an addictive quality that lingers in your head after just one listen.

The title “Silent Majority” refers to the large group that stays quiet, and the lyrics argue that simply going along with those around you isn’t a good thing.

I’d especially recommend it to anyone who’s striving toward a goal but finds themselves hesitating because they’re worried about what others think.

Keyakizaka46 'Black Sheep'

Kenshi Keyakizaka46’s “Black Sheep” has an unusually mature and dark image for an idol song.

Released in 2019 as the group’s 8th single, it’s a track that’s popular not only among fans but across a broad audience.

While uplifting songs often emphasize “you’re not alone,” this one squarely sings about loneliness and isolation.

In an era where, thanks to social media, “connection” tends to be the theme, the song suggests that accepting the idea of being the lone villain—and being okay with that—can be a clean, admirable way of thinking and letting go.

Keyakizaka46 'Discord'

I think many people struggle with wanting to value their own opinions but ending up going along with those around them.

Students in particular might relate.

But when you listen to this song, its powerful message moves you and makes you want to cherish yourself.

Keyakizaka46 'Break the Glass!'

A legend that came too soon—Keyakizaka46’s truly god-tier song.

The Keyakizaka name may be gone, but it’s still talked about as “Center Yurina Hirate is eternal.” Among fans, the song most widely regarded as when Hirate shone the brightest is Glass wo Ware! (Break the Glass!).

Its lyrics—“Be free! Shed the you of yesterday!”—burst with energy perfect for youth.

Great as a main theme for a school festival, or for everyone to perform a full cover together.

I’m sure teachers will embrace the energy of the younger generation too! Be sure to check out the music video as well, where Hirate, in a red leather jacket surrounded by a squad in black leather, is absolutely electrifying.

Unrequited Love in the Music RoomKeyakizaka465rank/position

Keyakizaka46 'Unrequited Love in the Music Room' Short Ver.

It’s a Keyakizaka46 song that overlays the feeling of first love onto the sound of a piano echoing through a quiet after-school hallway.

It’s a unit track by Rika Ozeki, Minami Koike, and Neru Nagahama, included on TYPE-D of the single “Ambivalent,” released in August 2018.

The refined scene of someone not opening the music room door where their crush is, instead listening intently to the notes leaking out, tightens the listener’s chest.

If you’re someone who wants to cherish your current relationship without breaking it… this song will surely stay close to your delicate feelings.
