Nogizaka46 “I Might Have Wanted to See You” Short Ver.

This is an arrangement of AKB48’s “Aitakatta,” and it’s a track that really conveys the feel of an official rival.

While “Aitakatta” has a bright, summery vibe, this one carries a somewhat darker image, and the music video is relatively monotone, providing a contrast.

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.

Nogizaka46 “What a Foolish…” Short Ver.

These are cute lyrics about a straight-A girl who falls for a slightly bad boy and wavers, thinking, “That can’t be happening…”.

The melody is very bright and upbeat.

In the music video, you can see the playful antics of members active in a fictional “Idol Club,” making it a rare and special track.

Jumping Joker FlashNogizaka 4677rank/position

Nogizaka46 “Jumping Joker Flash”

The song released as the coupling track for “Suki to Iu no wa Rock da ze!” became a hit on TikTok.

“Jumping Joker Flash” means “a fun person who’s always cracking jokes.” Even among Nogizaka’s songs, it’s a super high-energy, hyped-up track.

The lyric “Let’s make some noise without listening to what the grown-ups say!” is also pretty rare for Nogizaka, who usually gives off an honor-student vibe.

When they shout the song title “Jumping Joker Flash” in the chorus and jump, it’s nothing but fun.

By the way, the Type-B CD jacket of the single that includes this track features an all-star lineup: Asuka Saito, Mizuki Yamashita, and Yuki Yoda!
