While gazing up at a moon larger and brighter than usual, the song expresses a resolve to overcome sorrow and move toward independence, and as you listen, it fills you with passion too.

Nogizaka46 'What Is Purity?' Music Video

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.

It is used as the commercial song for Palty’s Foaming Pack Hair Color.

The commercial features Mai Shiraishi, who is part of Nogizaka46’s “Eleven Fukujin” and has been selected as a member.

The song is characterized by its catchy and familiar sound.

Nogizaka46 - Typical Love (Full)

A song included as the first track on the fourth album, “Until Now Becomes a Memory.” For Nogizaka46, it’s a rare song title that puts the words love and romance up front.

Its slightly cool message—that ordinary romances are all pretty much the same—reflects the sharp, stylish side of Nogizaka46.

Why do we run?Nogizaka 4695rank/position

Why do we run?

This is a song by Nogizaka46 that vividly captures the dazzling glow of youth—being driven by something for no reason at all.

In response to the question of why we run and sweat, the lyrics boldly declare, “There’s no meaning,” embodying that uniquely youthful impulse where the body moves before the mind can think.

Perhaps it’s precisely because it’s sung by the 6th generation, the group’s next wave, that the words carry a genuine, unfeigned radiance.

Included on the single “Same numbers,” released in July 2025, this track is a youth pop anthem that blends coolness with an emotional resonance.

House!Nogizaka 4696rank/position

House! Call

When we perform this song live, we’re busy with all the call-and-response.

I feel like we just keep saying “I love you” over and over.

For this song, the members leave the front stage and spread out across the venue every time, so it might be a great chance to see members up close that you don’t usually get to see.

Melody of SpringNogizaka 4697rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Spring Melody' Short Ver.

It has a very bright tone, but it’s definitely a proper breakup song, you know? It’s actually a positive song! The lyrics might be especially recommended for students.

For working adults, try listening while reminiscing.

In the song, it’s compared to snow melting away in spring.

The way the impression can change this brightly is something only idols can pull off.

It’s a unit song by Erika Ikuta and Sayuri Matsumura, and as the title suggests, they basically sing it with a “poker face,” but the occasional smiles they show during live performances are adorable.

This song is also fun with call-and-response parts, so be sure to check out videos that include the calls.

Nogizaka46 Shirogome-sama

This is a rice-themed song by Nogizaka46, the sister idol group of AKB48.

It’s included on their 15th single, “Hadashi de Summer,” released in 2016.

The comical lyrics, which insist that rice comes before anything else, are particularly memorable.
