Nogizaka46 Karaoke Popular Song Ranking [2026]

Midsummer day!Nogizaka 4657rank/position

Midsummer day!

This is a song by the idol group Nogizaka46.

It was released in 2025 as a track on their 39th single.

Chosen as the “Nogizaka46 Meiji Jingu Stadium Performance 10th Memorial Song,” it’s an up-tempo summer tune.

Its bouncy rhythm and liberating melody line feel great, making you want to take off running as soon as you hear it.

The lyrics express feelings for a loved one encountered by chance on a midsummer day, and that sweet-and-sour worldview is part of its charm.

It’s a bright piece that also spotlights the expressive performance of center member Haruka Kaki.

This song from the 40th single features a member who had consistently been selected for the main lineup participating for the first time as an under member and serving as center.

The work portrays emotions wavering between “staying true” and “protecting oneself to avoid getting hurt,” carefully capturing moments in which one is forced, through love, to confront one’s own weakness and smallness.

Released on streaming platforms ahead of its CD release in November 2025, the piece is notable for its lyrical melody and an evocative ensemble centered on strings and piano.

Nogizaka46 'One Second Before Despair'

Nogizaka46 is an idol group that continues to enjoy strong popularity despite frequently changing members.

Compared to K-pop idols, members of the Sakurazaka/Nogizaka-style “Sakamichi” groups tend to be weaker in individual vocal ability.

Because of that, many of their songs are arranged with simple melodies that are easy for anyone to sing—truly the pinnacle of catchiness, you might say.

Among them, Zetsubou no Ichibyou Mae is especially easy to sing.

It doesn’t use falsetto, so as long as you adjust the key, I think anyone—regardless of gender—can sing it.

Kotodama CannonNogizaka 4660rank/position

Nogizaka46 “Kotodama Cannon”

The song “Kotodama-hou,” included as a coupling track on the 20th single “Synchronicity.” Its lyrics center on the theme of kotodama—the idea that spoken words manifest reality—and may remind you of the earnest feelings of youthful romance.

Although the melody rises and falls sharply from the very beginning, the key is low and the range isn’t wide, making it a good choice even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

With its poppy melody and ensemble that liven up karaoke, it’s a cute number.
