The Right to JealousyNogizaka 469rank/position

Nogizaka46 “Right to Jealousy” Short Ver.

“The Right to Be Jealous” is a song about thinking of someone you like who isn’t nearby and letting your imagination run wild—“Who are they with?” “Where are they and what are they doing?”—and feeling jealous of someone who isn’t you at the end of that imagining.

If you’ve ever been in love, you’ve surely been down this road at least once.

Even though you know in your head that you have no right to be possessive since you haven’t even confessed, when it comes to the person you like, it isn’t that simple.

That restless, irresistible curiosity is what we call a crush; if you could neatly separate your feelings, it wouldn’t be love! The ache turns into anger, and you find yourself on the verge of confronting them with, “Who were you with?”

Time-Limited Unrequited LoveNogizaka 4610rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Time-Limited Unrequited Love'

A gentle, coming-of-age love song that tenderly embraces the fragility of unrequited feelings.

It’s an original track by the 6th generation members, included on Nogizaka46’s 38th single “Navel Orange,” released in March 2025.

The scenes painted by Yasushi Akimoto’s spun lyrics and the sound crafted by 3grass and Yuta Asao feel like a moment from a film.

If you’re about to graduate and can’t find the courage to confess to the one you like, this song might give you the push you need.

Nogizaka46 'Saying I Love You Is Rock!'

“Suki to Iu no wa Rock daze!” is a 2022 Nogizaka46 track that sings about how falling in love can dramatically transform the world you thought you knew.

It portrays someone who never liked themselves, didn’t need friends, and lived alone, suddenly falling in love with one person.

Just like the song’s protagonist, even if you think romance isn’t for you, one day you might be struck by love at first sight.

When that happens, don’t lie to your feelings—dive into the joyful world of love! This song will be there to accompany the love story that begins with your own love at first sight.

Nogizaka46 “Beyond Nostalgia”

Memories of youth and the ache of unrequited love tighten the heart.

Created in February 2025 to mark Nogizaka46 member Yūki Yoda’s graduation, this piece is an emotional work built on a beautiful soundscape of piano and strings.

It’s filled with the regret of not confessing your feelings to the one you love, and simply reading the lyrics makes you empathize with that emotion.

It’s a song I recommend to anyone who has experienced parting with someone precious, or to everyone standing at a crossroads in life.

Nogizaka46: Objecting to the Theory of Relativity

A groundbreaking work that fuses Nogizaka46’s signature romantic restlessness with concepts from physics.

Through the lens of relativity, it expresses the intensity of being in love.

Included on the 37th single “Hodōkyō” (Pedestrian Bridge), released December 11, this song marks 5th-generation member Hina Okamoto’s first time as center, and the music video is striking as well.

Portraying romantic feelings from a scientific perspective, it’s recommended both for physics enthusiasts and for those who want to savor pure emotions of love.

17 minutesNogizaka 4614rank/position

Nogizaka46 “17 Minutes”

Nogizaka46 is a group that represents the Sakamichi Series.

In their early days, they produced numerous hit songs as a classic, mainstream idol group following AKB48, but lately they’ve also been performing songs that incorporate more experimental genres.

Among their works, one of the easiest love songs to sing at karaoke is 17 Minutes.

It portrays the feelings of a boy falling in love, and while the lyrics make your heart flutter, the melody is surprisingly calm.

Because of that, even people who can’t hit high notes or struggle with long tones should be able to sing it without any trouble.
