Nogizaka46: “Goodbye” Is Bittersweet

Nogizaka46 is a popular idol group supported by many young men and women.

Even with K-pop–style artists being the mainstream, they still enjoy enduring popularity.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for women who struggle with pitch is “’Well, see you’ Is Bittersweet.” It features a fair number of higher notes, but the melody progresses at a relaxed pace, so there aren’t any sudden jumps in pitch.

The falsetto parts also don’t require a lot of volume, so be sure to check it out.

Nogizaka46 “Gomen ne Fingers crossed”

A complex state of mind—saying goodbye while wishing someone luck—lies at the heart of this 27th single, released in June 2021.

It’s a strikingly cool track with a brisk, driving arrangement that really stands out.

The lyrics blend a resignation akin to saying “I’m sorry” to a relationship that drifted apart with the strength to hope for the other person’s future.

Despite being their first non-tie-in single in a while, it won the Excellence Award at the 63rd Japan Record Awards.

This farewell song isn’t just sad; its positive side may give listeners the courage to move forward.

Sorry, all this time…Nogizaka 4664rank/position

Nogizaka46 “Sorry, All This Time…” Short Ver.

Centered by Nanase Nishino, this is a wonderful song where her poignant vocals truly shine.

In the music video, her real-life history as an idol is contrasted with an imagined path of what her life might have been like if she hadn’t become an idol—must-see for fans.

PopipappapāNogizaka 4665rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Popipappapa' Short Ver.

It’s a very peculiar song in which sounds from the “pa” consonant series make up most of the lyrics.

The title comes from how saying “Nogizaka” using only the “pa” sounds ends up sounding like “Popipapa.” The members’ lips as they sing the “pa” sounds are very sexy.

The stylish choreography is also memorable, and the song was used in a Samantha Thavasa commercial.

Something valuableNogizaka 4666rank/position

Nogizaka46 'Things of Value'

Nogizaka46 is a classic-style idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto, formed as the official rival to AKB48.

They have been active since 2011.

The number “46” was chosen by Akimoto to signify that even with fewer members than AKB48, they wouldn’t lose, and the group has been differentiated from the AKB family in everything from tour style to choreography.

Many people get hooked on their sophisticated members and high-quality songs and vocals! Dive into their many charms and let yourself fall down the rabbit hole!
