Nogizaka46 “Same numbers” MUSIC VIDEO

From an intro grounded in piano and strings to a chorus that swells in richness, the dynamic progression is striking.

Released in July 2025, it’s the title track of Nogizaka46’s 39th single.

Centered on the theme of matching numbers we encounter in everyday life, the introspective lyrics resonate as they frame the process of effort—where dreams can’t be achieved in a single try—and the layering of coincidences as something inevitable.

In the music video, center Haruka Kaki expresses prayer and inner conflict through dance, and the immersive feel makes the story of her being moved to tears during filming entirely believable.

This work is a beautiful J-pop-leaning ballad that gently stays close to hearts wavering between hope and reality.

Nogizaka46 “I see…”

A stylish track that fuses idol pop with dance music, “I see…”.

While keeping the catchy appeal typical of idol songs at its core, it incorporates an old-school disco-inspired arrangement that brings out a new charm in Nogizaka46.

A breakup like ripping off a Band-AidNogizaka 4649rank/position

A Breakup Like Tearing Off a Band-Aid by Nogizaka46

Nogizaka46 is a Japanese female idol group that debuted in 2011.

As of 2022, many of the original members have graduated, and the 5th generation is now in the spotlight.

Their 5th-generation song “Band-Aid Hagasuyouna Wakarekata” features a refreshingly expansive melody with a chorus that is quintessentially Nogizaka46, and it makes effective use of the “break” technique, where the sound briefly stops.

At the same time, it showcases a new, translucent side of Nogizaka46 that hasn’t been heard before, resulting in a wonderful track.

It’s a song I can recommend even to those who haven’t listened to Nogizaka46 in a while.
