Top 10 Best Nogizaka46 Song


Hello, welcome to another Top 10 list and this time i am going to rank my Top 10 best Nogizaka46 song. Now unlike my previous list where i restricted the list to just the main single song, this time its anything goes, Singles, Couplings, Album songs, the lot. this is because Nogizaka has fewer songs than the 48 group, with a total of 139 songs from 17 singles and 3 albums. so let's get started with...

10. Dekopin (Kimi no Na wa Kibou) (2013)
This song is love at first sight (or hear), its just so cute, very fun and youthful. amazing considering that its sung by some of the oldest in the group at that time. i guess age doesn't dictate how cute somebody is, because all 5 members (Shiraishi Mai, Fukagawa Mai, Hashimoto Nanami, Takayama Kazumi, Matsumura Sayuri) sound very cute, and looks very cute as well in the MV.

9. Sekai de Ichiban Kodoku na LOVER (Girls Rule) (2013)
Again this song is also love at first sight (hear), but this one sound cool instead of cute. it has that electronic sound mix with some acoustic guitar, catchy bass, and keyboard, which is very popular at the time. and that guitar solo, its just sounds great. its a good song from a good single with a great center. and probably the best MV Nogi has ever made.

8. Aitakatta Kamoshirenai (Guru-Guru Curtain) (2012)
Do you know the best way to make a statement as a rival? You take your rival stuff and make it better. and that's what Aitakatta Kamoshirenai is all about, a statement from Nogizaka to AKB that THE RIVAL IS HERE.... what they do to make this song is they take Aitakatta (AKB's major debut song) and completely rearranged it. they changed it from this cute and cheerful idol song to something a bit softer, which is what Nogizaka is all about, elegance. the only thing that they keep from the original is the lyrics and the bass line, and that's it (well you could say that the MV is similar, but still...).

7. Tsuki no Ookisa (Barette) (2013)
this is probably the very first Nogizaka song that i heard. no, i'm sure this is the first Nogizaka song that i heard, and i think we all know why. yes, this is the opening theme of the popular anime Naruto Shippuden. you know i'm not a big fan of anime, but i do watch it sometime, mostly with my friends. and i remember watching Naruto Shippuden during breaks at the school, and of course at first, i don't know what's the title of the song and i don't know the artist, but i somewhat like it. and only after i know Nogizaka that i know that Tsuki no Ookisa was a Nogizaka46 song which make me like it even more. its a great song, it has a rock n' roll vibe to it, and its very groovy.

6. Igai BREAK (Influencer) (2017)
A lot of people say that the best coupling song for the Influencer single is Another Ghost. well Another Ghost is a great song but for me, Igai BREAK is the best song in the single. its just that its a little more groovy, i like the early 90's vibe to it, and that bass line,  oohh the bass line, one of the best i've heard from any 48 or 46 songs. and one more thing, this song is made to be a driving song, a song that you listen when you drive. everything from the lyrics to the beat is made to make you calm and focus while driving. and considering most of the time i'm either driving a car or riding a bike, this song is just perfect for me.

5. Nani mo Dekizu ni Soba ni Iru (Natsu no Free and Easy) (2014)
We're at the top 5 and i'm starting to wonder, has Nogizaka ever get a bad song? well this is certainly not one of them. this song sounds like its a live band song, not an idol song. it has a great rock feel to it, it might be a somewhat slow song but its just so beautiful, and that chorus, just amazing. even though its sung by a group, the vocal is just beautiful. the lyrics is also very beautiful.

4. Hadashi de Summer (Hadashi de Summer) (2016)
Finally an actual A-side single song. Saito Asuka first centered Single is at #4. this is my favorite summer single by Nogizaka and i love it. this song is very cheerful but still very elegant, still very classy, still very Nogizaka. people might say that Nogi's best summer song is Girls Rule or Natsu no Free&Easy, but to me Hadashi de Summer is the best. the intro to the song is perfect, the guitar is great, and it has a very catchy chorus, what more do you want.

3. Kidzuitara Kataomoi (Kidzuitara Kataomoi) (2014)
Nishino Nanase first centered song/single is at #3, the girl who was once just someone in the background  finally has a chance to shine, and shine she did. this latin style song is one of Nogizaka's best of all time, a catchy tune, great lyrics, and a music video that can make you cry. this song is what Nogizaka is all about, class and elegance.

2. Kimi no Na wa Kibou (Kimi no Na wa Kibou) (2013)
The center for this song might be Ikoma Rina, but really, the one who owns this song is Ikuta Erika. you cannot hear the intro of this song without picturing Ikuchan playing the piano. this song is soft and elegant, its so calming to the ear and heart, a great song to listen before you go to bed, and the lyrics is very beautiful (note : i'm using the word classy, beautiful and elegant to much in this post).

before we go to #1 i want to give some honorable mention to these song
Girls Rule
a great summer song, very catchy, Maiyan looks amazing in this song, but just not good enough.
Shibuya Blues
amazing vocal, very simple but great arrangement, usually i would prefer these kind of song but Nogi just has to many great songs
Sayonara no Imi
Nanamin graduation single, very beautiful and meaningful, but its just too sad
Influencer
I love that guitar man....

and finally my best Nogizaka46 song is
1. Nandome no Aozora ka? (Nandome no Aozora ka?) (2014)
Ikuta Erika's first and so far only centered song, and its everything you want from a Nogizaka song, its simple, elegant, and beautiful. a perfect Nogizaka46 song and a perfect song for Ikuta Erika. the lyrics is beautiful, and i love how they sing in a higher key in the end, it made the song even more amazing.

and that's all folks, my Top 10 Nogizaka46 song, next time, still sticking with the same theme, its my Top 10 Keyakizaka46 song



But for now, This is Delta
Over and Out
