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.

They express the guilt of having left someone and the resolve to watch over that person forever, as if to make up for it.

Even though their life has ended, they continue to watch over and live on by their loved one’s side and in their heart.

It’s a song that sings about “living” from a different angle.

To You in the LibraryNogizaka 4651rank/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.

Nogizaka46 “Things I Don’t Mean”

Nogizaka46 is an idol group that debuted as AKB48’s official rival and has continued to lead the front lines of the Sakamichi Series.

“Kokoro nimo Nai Koto,” included on their 32nd single “Hito wa Yume wo Nido Miru,” is a track by 5th-generation members that has drawn attention as a song said to feel natural no matter who takes the center position.

The contrast between the delicate, translucent piano tones and the cute vocals, combined with the sentimental lyrics, stirs a bittersweet feeling.

It’s a catchy pop tune that truly befits a classic, orthodox idol song.

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 4655rank/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 4656rank/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.
