Nogizaka46 'The Place Where I Am'

Nogizaka46’s “Boku ga Iru Basho” is told from the perspective of someone who has passed away, leaving a loved one behind.

It is included on the 2015 album “Tōmei na Iro.” The lyrics start with a shocking turn that makes your heart skip a beat.

To You in the LibraryNogizaka 4653rank/position

Nogizaka46 'To the Girl in the Library' Short Ver.

A song by the 4th generation members from the 2019 single “You Don’t Have to Put on a Brave Face Until Dawn.” The concept is very unique: it features girls who don’t even know what glasses are, experiencing declining eyesight and wearing glasses for the first time.

Triggered by Saya Kanagawa, a sudden glasses boom sweeps through the class.

The production is meticulous, with all props like eye test charts custom-made.

The “Glasses Dance” that appears in the MV is a must-see and utterly adorable.

Nogizaka46 'Parallel Lines' Short Ver.

This is a track included on the 23rd single “Sing Out!” released in 2019.

It’s a unit song by Renka Iwamoto, Momoko Ozono, Shiori Kubo, Tamami Sakaguchi, and Yuki Yoda.

The music video is a comedic piece where members and townspeople swap bodies, conveying how much fun the members are having.

Through the body-swapping, they realize “I’m number one!” While the song sings about an unrequited first love, it’s a delightful track that showcases the charming resilience of a girl who doesn’t get discouraged.

How to Forget SadnessNogizaka 4655rank/position

Nogizaka46 “How to Forget Sadness” - Short Ver.

This is the theme song for Nogizaka46’s first documentary film, “How to Overcome the Sadness: Documentary of Nogizaka46.” It’s a close-up documentary crafted into a movie that follows the behind-the-scenes of concerts and auditions.

The lyrics, which speak of moving forward despite uncertainty, capture their growth itself.

It’s not a song that necessarily gets the crowd going, but it’s one that somehow resonates deeply in your heart.

fanNogizaka 4656rank/position

Nogizaka46 “Electric Fan” Short Ver.

This song is included on the Type-B edition of the sixth single, “Girls’ Rule.” “Fan” is an “under” track performed by the girls who weren’t selected for the main lineup, but it’s quite popular among fans.

It likens a girl’s wavering feelings in love to the playful way you go “ahhh…” in front of an electric fan.

It’s a unique metaphor that captures a moment of youth.

17 minutesNogizaka 4657rank/position

Nogizaka46 “17 Minutes”

A song by the 5th generation members included on the 31st single “Koko ni wa Nai Mono,” released in December 2022.

It’s a sweet-and-sour youth pop tune that sings about the happiness of riding the same bus as the person you like for “just 17 minutes.” The contrast between the sparkling sound and the fresh vocals, together with the bittersweet story of a protagonist in love with someone whose name they don’t even know, makes your heart skip a beat.

The “clock dance” showcased in the music video and the staging where stalled time is set in motion by gears filled with their dreams perfectly embody these girls who carry the group’s future.

If you listen during everyday moments—on your way to school, for example—the world might just start to shine.

What is kindness?Nogizaka 4658rank/position

[Unofficial PV] What Kindness Is / Nogizaka46

It’s a set of lyrics that seriously contemplates what kindness is, a masterpiece that could be called Yasushi Akimoto at his very best.

Nanami Hashimoto serves as the center, and the song is packed with her charm.

I’m sure it will move your heart.

Time-Limited Unrequited LoveNogizaka 4659rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Time-Limited Unrequited Love'

The first original song for Nogizaka46’s 6th generation, included on Type-B of the 38th single “Navel Orange.” The music video, released in March 2025, leaves a striking impression with dance scenes set against Hokkaido’s snowy landscapes and atop a frozen lake.

Set in a school classroom, the song portrays the anxious feelings of unspoken emotions as deadlines like graduation and class changes approach.

Many will relate to the usually reserved protagonist who realizes time is running out and tries to take a step forward.

The fresh vocals and driving melody give a powerful push to anyone hesitating.

It’s recommended not only for women experiencing unrequited love, but also for those who need courage to dive into a new environment.

Friday the 13thNogizaka 4660rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Friday the 13th' Short Ver.

This is a song with Yuuri Saito, a regular in summer single selections, as the center.

Contrary to the ominous title “Friday the 13th,” it’s a song that says, “Take me on a fun date!!” The dance and melody are both cute, making it a tune you can’t help but hum along to.
