NMB48 – “Kamonegix” Dance Performance Video

Although it’s an idol song, it has a cool vibe, and the novel idea of “a duck carrying green onions” gives it a strong impact.

While saying something a bit silly like that, it also portrays the back-and-forth of a romance that isn’t going well, which makes it interesting.

Crescent Moon's Back

When we debuted, this song—performed by everyone together, regardless of whether they were full members or trainees—came to be known among fans as a hidden gem, and is often praised as a legendary track.

Its lyrics, which say that anyone can become a heroine or hero, make it perfect for everyone to sing together.

NMB48 – Kitagawa Kenji Official MV

A song released by NMB48 in 2012, featuring an upbeat, lively melody and bright vocals.

The title, “Kenji Kitagawa,” refers to an assistant producer in charge of visuals for AKB48.

When enjoying this track as a drinking song, the key moment is the part of the lyrics where his name is sung! Many people have fun by swapping in the name of the person they want to make drink.

It can end up being somewhat coercive, so read the room and have fun without pushing it too far!

Nagisa is the best!NMB4818rank/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.

HA!NMB4819rank/position

【MV】HA! / NMB48 [Official] (Short ver.)

One of NMB48’s charms is not only their cute, idol-like songs, but also the many cool, edgy tracks they have.

I also love how their dances include flashy moves, and their music videos sometimes feature kimono-inspired costumes that weave in a sexy, mature vibe.

The touch of a yakuza-esque, slightly “bad” element is unusual and makes them interesting, too.

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.

Senior NietzscheNMB4821rank/position

NMB48 “Nietzsche-senpai”

Composed by Shutaro Katagiri, who also works on anisong in addition to 48/46 groups, this is a pop tune that served as the coupling track for the 2015 single “Don’t look back!”.

Set against a sparkling soundscape, it sings of a crush on an upperclassman at school.

With “philosophy” as a key word symbolizing Ririka Suto, who served as center, it’s a love song that also carries a touch of deeper philosophical elements.

Just imagining spending time with your admired senior is enough to make your heart race, isn’t it? Alongside that excitement, the feeling of not knowing what to do is also endearingly portrayed.

Be sure to listen while picturing the senior you admire.
