Nogizaka46 'Kizuitara Kataomoi' Short Ver.

Nogizaka46 is an idol group that debuted as the official rival of AKB48 and has since become a leading presence among the Sakamichi groups.

Their 8th single, ‘Kizuitara Kataomoi’ (‘When I Realized, I Was in Unrequited Love’), drew attention for its lyrics, which are unusually written from a female perspective for the group.

The lyrics, which express feelings of unrequited love that one can’t control, may resonate with the emotions felt on Valentine’s Day as someone prepares to confess their feelings.

With delicate sounds from piano and strings and a slightly oriental melody line that feels pleasant, it’s a pop tune that lifts your spirits before a big moment.

By organizing your thoughts properly, you can find a strong resolve: that you will decide the path you should take yourself, and discover an unwavering self that won’t be swept along.

Nogizaka46 “I Still Love My First Love” Short Ver.

This song is a bit unusual, expressing the feelings of “me,” who has continued waiting for his first love—the girl who left town three years ago to chase her dreams.

The melody is relaxed, and it might be a song that resonates with the sensibilities of modern male fans.
