Nogizaka46 Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Danke schönNogizaka 4678rank/position

Dankeschön [Jingu Summer National Tour]

This is a song that gets the crowd going perhaps more than any other, with center Erika Ikuta creating the fans’ call-and-response herself.

There’s also a special segment where the members cheer with light sticks and oshi towels, making it a rare chance to see a different side of them.

Nogizaka46 “Blanco” Short Ver.

This is a poignant song that conveys the melancholy of autumn through the gentle sway of a swing.

Released in November 2016 as a track by Nogizaka46’s Under Members, it features Ranze Terada as the center.

In the music video, the struggles of members striving to make the selected lineup are depicted symbolically, creating a deeply moving effect in tandem with the song.

The lyrics are striking for overlaying the ache of unrequited love and the passage of time with the motion of a swinging seat.

It’s a nostalgic piece that makes you want to listen while swaying on a park swing at autumn dusk.

Even now, my first loveNogizaka 4680rank/position

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 lyrics are, of course, by Yasushi Akimoto.

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

The Right to JealousyNogizaka 4681rank/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?”

Courage in the left chestNogizaka 4682rank/position

I tried singing Nogizaka46’s “Courage on the Left Chest” T

When I listen to this song, I can’t be the only one who vividly recalls footage from their early debut days.

That’s how often it used to be played on TV shows and the like back then.

It’s an idol song I recommend, featuring a dance where all the members line up in a single row and perform together.

The taciturn lionNogizaka 4683rank/position

Nogizaka46 “Taciturn Lion” Short Ver.

It’s a great song with profound lyrics like “a lion has its own role,” and a poignant melody that leaves an impression.

The story-driven music video, showcasing the acting talents of Nanase Nishino and Yumi Wakatsuki, is a masterpiece.

It also features a kissing scene between the two, which became a hot topic.

One second before despairNogizaka 4684rank/position

Nogizaka46 'One Second Before Despair'

Nogizaka46 is an idol group that continues to enjoy strong popularity despite frequently changing members.

Compared to K-pop idols, members of the Sakurazaka/Nogizaka-style “Sakamichi” groups tend to be weaker in individual vocal ability.

Because of that, many of their songs are arranged with simple melodies that are easy for anyone to sing—truly the pinnacle of catchiness, you might say.

Among them, Zetsubou no Ichibyou Mae is especially easy to sing.

It doesn’t use falsetto, so as long as you adjust the key, I think anyone—regardless of gender—can sing it.
