Released in September 2019 as Nogizaka46’s 24th single, it sold over one million copies in its first week on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

You may find yourself acting tough, but inside you’re overwhelmed with anxiety.

This work gently stays by the side of those spending such lonely nights, kindly telling them it’s okay to be honest with themselves until dawn breaks.

When you’re worn out from trying too hard, listening to it might give you a small dose of courage to accept yourself as you are and take another step forward.

Nogizaka46 'Nigemizu' (Fleeting Water)

If you’re looking for a Nogizaka46 karaoke song that feels like summer, why not try singing Nigemizu? The title “Nigemizu” refers to a mirage-like phenomenon that looks like steam shimmering over summer asphalt, and the lyrics are filled with summery words.

It also has a sense of reminiscing about a summer from long ago, with occasional hints of poignancy that feel very Nogizaka-like.

You might think it would be tough to sing at karaoke, but the vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s a song you can handle without strain.

Whether you sing it or listen from the next seat, you’ll get swept up in the emo vibes.

When I realized it, I was in unrequited love.Nogizaka 465rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Kizuitara Kataomoi' Short Ver.

The 8th single, “Kizuitara Kataomoi,” is striking for its lyrics written from a feminine perspective rather than the previously common masculine one.

The contrast between an ensemble featuring piano and strings and the lyrics that portray a bittersweet yet straightforward love is memorable.

Because the melody is fast, you need to be careful not to fall behind the rhythm, but the key is low and the range isn’t wide, making it relatively approachable.

With a sound that feels both wistful and refreshing, it’s a comfortable listen and a great pick for karaoke.

How many times has the blue sky appeared?

This is a ballad-themed song about reexamining oneself.

Its piano melody and four-on-the-floor kick drum rhythm leave a strong impression, and the simple yet deeply resonant tune is captivating.

Unlike previous Nogizaka46 tracks, the lyrics focus on the struggles and hopes of youth.

Released in October 2014, it was also featured in an HTC smartphone commercial, debuting at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart with approximately 478,000 copies sold in its first week.

Erika Ikuta, who plays the piano, served as the center for the title track for the first time, marking her return from a temporary hiatus from entertainment activities.

It’s a song we especially recommend to those who feel anxious or uncertain about the future, or who are about to take a new step forward.

Mannequin in a uniformNogizaka 467rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Seifuku no Mannequin' Short Ver.

“Seifuku no Mannequin,” with Rina Ikoma in the center position.

It’s an idol song, but the four-on-the-floor beat gives it a disco feel, and although the steady, understated melody throughout makes it seem difficult at first listen, it’s actually surprisingly easy to sing.

Adding rhythmic dynamics makes it sound even better.

The chorus lyrics are memorable, and while the word “uniform” is something unique to students, this song is perfect for venting the frustrations you carry around day to day.

Great for stress relief, too!
