NMB48 Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Nagisa is the best!NMB488rank/position

[Official Audio] Nagisa Saikou! / NMB48

As a karaoke recommendation for middle school students, NMB48’s “Nagisa Saikou!” might be a great pick.

The lyrics revolve around a late-summer farewell, and the easy-to-sing melody line is catchy and neatly put together.

For karaoke scoring, “accurate pitch” and “keeping solid rhythm” are important, and this song is easy to sing thanks to its consistent rhythm and clear melody from start to finish.

Plus, the lyrics are made up of short phrases, so it’s easier to find breathing spots and maintain pitch.

Definitely give it a try to boost your karaoke scores.

Extinct Black-Haired GirlNMB489rank/position

NMB48 – Extinct Black-Haired Girl (Zetsumetsu Kurokami Girl) Official MV

NMB48’s debut single is this song, “Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo” (Extinct Black-Haired Girl).

It’s a piece where you can catch glimpses of a uniquely Japanese vibe.

Both the tempo and the overall feel are on the slower, more challenging side, but if a large group can execute it cleanly, the visual impact will be tremendous.

Personally, I think the chorus choreography where you lift your hair, though a small movement, conveys a sense of dynamism.

Also, if you synchronize the final dogeza (deep bow/kneel) neatly, it can land well with the audience.

[MV] December 31 / NMB48 [Official] (Short ver.)

This song poignantly portrays the feelings of a girl shedding tears alone in front of the TV on New Year’s Eve.

NMB48’s music is a pop tune packed with the members’ down-to-earth emotions.

Included on the February 2013 album “Teppen Tottande!,” it’s a ballad with Sayaka Yamamoto at center.

The lyrics, filled with frustration and determination over missing the chance to perform on Kouhaku, seem to gently push forward anyone striving toward their dreams.

Sing it with friends at New Year’s karaoke, and you’ll surely feel hope welling up for the year ahead.

For fans, this piece is a deeply meaningful song that symbolizes the growth and resolve of NMB48, the group based in Osaka.

NMB48 – Is this love? Official MV

NMB48 is an idol group that has been popular for many years.

Unlike the Sakurazaka/Nogizaka-style groups, they tend to have more powerful songs.

Among NMB48’s tracks, the one I especially recommend for women who struggle with pitch is This Is Love? This song has a slightly gritty vibe, and accordingly the melody is simple and strong.

Even though it’s powerful, there aren’t any shouts, so even women who are tone-deaf should be able to sing it without any issues.

Definitely check it out.

NMB48 – Oh My God! Official MV

An NMB48 song where the members don pink costumes and dance with bursting smiles.

Many people were probably captivated by the thrilling lyrics about bumping into your crush by chance while buying croquettes.

Even content that might feel embarrassingly cliché somehow becomes fresh and endearing when sung by NMB48—strange, isn’t it? Released in October 2011, this track debuted at number one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was also used in a Round One commercial.

It’s a song often danced to at school festivals—why not try it at a family karaoke session? It’s a lively, energetic track that parents and kids can enjoy together!

The Deadline of YouthNMB4813rank/position

NMB48 – “Deadline of Youth” Official MV

NMB48’s 32nd single, released to mark the group’s 15th anniversary.

It’s a song that poignantly captures the ache of facing the inevitable end of youth.

The feeling that you’re the only one being left behind when your friends start carrying business cards; the realization that the time you believed would last forever was actually a deadline drawing ever closer—these raw emotional shifts are heart-wrenching.

The emotional sound featuring striking strings is another highlight.

It’s a pop tune for anyone standing at a crossroads—like choosing a path or starting a job—as well as for those moments when you want to look back on your past self.
