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.

Its rock sound and powerful melody have the ability to turn the negativity of a broken heart into something positive.

By tidying up the bulky trash in your heart, it gives you the courage to step into a new love—one of those songs that makes you feel that way.

Jumping Joker FlashNogizaka 4678rank/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!

Danke schönNogizaka 4679rank/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.

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.
