Top 10 Nogizaka46 Under Song


Happy new year......
2018 have arrived and there are going to be a lot of things to be exited about in the 48/46 world. one of the first thing that is going to be release in 2018 is Nogizaka46 1st ever Under Member exclusive album, which will come out on the 10th of January. and to commemorate the release of this album, today i'm going to rank my top 10 Nogizaka46 under member song. for people who don't know, the "Under Member" of Nogizaka46 is a group of members that is not a part of the main senbatsu of a single, and in every single they always given 1 song, the "Under Song". these songs have always been very good and today i'm going to rank the best 10, so let's get started with

10. My Rule (Itsuka Dekirukara Kyou Dekiru)
We're starting things of with the most recent under song. centered by Higuchi Hina, this song has a very mature feel to it. the song started with a beautiful piano solo followed by one of the best guitar solo of 2017. the whole flow of the song is very good, the vocal is nice, and it has a rather beautiful Music Video. My Rule is my #10 best Under song.

9. Jiyuu no Kanata (Toumei na Iro)
This song is the Under song for Nogizaka46's 1st album Toumei na Iro. it was sung by the Under member from Nogizaka 10th single Nandome no Aozora ka? this song song sound very nostalgic to me. it sounds like an old AKB48 song, like golden era old, this song gives that vibes to me. it has that minor key sound that made it sound very sad, it has a very poetic lyric, and it also have that arrangement that you get from old AKB songs. very nice.

8. Umarete Mama de (Kidzuitara Kataomoi)
When i look at the line up for this song, it hard to believe that these member were Unders just 4 years ago (actually now that you think of it, its hard to believe that this song (and single) is already 4 years old). i mean, we have girls like Eto Misa, Saito Asuka, Hoshino Minami, Shinuchi Mai, girls that are now front line member and some of the most popular member in Nogizaka. the song itself is very good, it sounded quite retro and it has a similar flow and feel as the A-side song Kidzuitara Kataomoi. but my favorite part of the song is the bridge after the chorus, which for some reason they make it sound like something out of a bond film.

7. Ookami ni Kuchibue wo (Oide Shampoo!)
We're going way back for this one. Ookami ni Kuchibue wo is the second Under song and the first Under song to have an MV. it was centered by Ito Marika who recently graduate. and again looking at the line up we got Fukagawa Mai, Eto Misa, Wakatsuki Yumi, Saito Asuka, girls that's now a big name in Nogizaka. its a short and fast rock song, very catchy and very very good. and if you were wondering, yes this is the song that Himura always dance to.

6. 13 Nichi no Kinyoubi (Kimi no Na wa Kibou)
This song is the kind of song that i like from an idol, a groovy, catchy and very very fun song. it was centered by Saito Yuuri and it is the coupling song for Nogizaka 5th single, Kimi no Na wa Kibou. this song is really good, very catchy melody, and very fun to listen. i actually have this song as my alarm because it made me feel fresh every time i wake up.

5. Fuusen wa Ikiteiru (Influencer)
Fuusen wa Ikiteiru is probably one of the best song of 2017. its a coupling song for Influencer and it was centered by Watanabe Miria from the 2nd gen Nogizaka. it is just a very very good pop song. its very catchy, the lyric is very good and very youthful, the acoustic guitar is probably the best part of this song and it actually has a somewhat decent rapping. no, seriously, it doesn't sound that bad, in a way it actually sound rather good.

4. Shitto no Kenri (Ima, Hanashita Dareka ga Iru)
Yes, the under have the right to be Jealous. this is the second Under song that Hori Miona participated in. yes, Hori Miona was an Under member for 2 single. this song is centered by her and also Nakamoto Himeka. although this is a very very good song, very catchy and sound very intense, this song is actually all about the lyric. the lyric for this song pretty much say everything about the Under member feeling. the feeling of self hate for not being in the senbatsu and the jealousy that comes with it. although it was not said explicitly, the message was there.

3. Secret Graffiti (Hadashi de Summer)
at #3 we have this surf rock number from Hadashi de Summer. this song was centered by Higuchi Hina, and it was probably the best coupling song from the Hadashi de Summer single. it has a surf rock feel to it, thanks to the guitar riff and the bass line. the bass line for this song is actually some of my favorite bass line, its not unique or anything, its actually some of the most simple and basic bass line you can learn and that's why i like it, making something great out of something simple.

2. Under (Nigemizu)
Another song that is very recent. a lot of people will say that this is the best Under song ever and i almost agree if not for one song that's coming up later. centered by Nakamoto Himeka and Kitano Hinako, this song has the deepest meaning out of all the under song. this song tells the story about the hardship and pressure of being an Under member. the MV for this song is pretty much a mini documentary about the Under member. this song is just so meaningful that i have to put it at #2. but its not the best under song for me.

the best Nogizaka46 Under Song is
1. Buranko (Sayonara no Imi)
My god this song is incredible. this is not just my favorite Nogizaka46 Under song, its one of my favorite Nogizaka46 song period. where should i start, i think that this song has the best rap out of any song in the 48/46 group, it sound beautiful. it has a beautiful melody, a mix between R&B and rock. the piano part sounds amazing, the lyric is beautiful, and it just feel very emotional and intense. this song is pretty much perfect for me. if i have to choose the best song from 2016, Buranko would probably be at the top, or at least very close to the top. i know this sound weird, but this song actually got a Linkin Park feel to it, especially to their most recent album. and if you don't know Linkin Park is my favorite artist period, so yeah, that just make Buranko that much better.

And that's it, my top 10 Nogizaka46 Under Song, all of these song are great song but Buranko is the greatest of them all. i'm looking forward to the new Under album, and i will make a review if i had the time. but until then
