I’m sure I have posted this one before. Their 19th Single.

We’ve finished all the MVs from their singles, the main songs. I hope you enjoyed them. I always do.

I’m looking forward to their 20th. What will it be? When will it come out? I am ready to spend money to find out.

The legend of Siato Asuka, the youngest of the 1st Gen. She’s the current Ace in waiting. Or rather she’s considered the heir apparent. Slow going at the beginning. Made the first senbatsu, relegated to Unders for a few singles, back in senbatsu, she centers an Under, back in senbatsu to stay. Finally, this her first center.

And I was skeptical. But since this song came out in the summer of 2016, she’s definitely grown to be a force in Nogizaka. Really. She’s got it.

Fourteenth Single and Fukagawa Mai’s graduation tune.

They all graduate. They will all graduate. That’s how it goes.

Ima Hashitai Dareka ga iru. Now, I have someone to talk to.

And this is where I come in to the Nogi fandom. The 13th single. Like the 11th it has lots of good songs on it — top to bottom — just great songs. And the title song isn’t even the best. The Unders’ Shitto no Kenri is perhaps the finest emotional song they produced. Once you hear Sukima you’ll be in love with Nanase, too. Little did I know how much of a gateway drug this single was.

With this single, we get the double beauty power of a Maiyan-Nishino WCenter. Also, a front line with Misa-senpai (the sexiest Nogi) and MaiMai (the holy mother). Just straight loveliness.

And I fell down the rabbit hole more…

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha-ah-aa.

Life is beautiful. And so are the members of Nogizaka46.

To be honest, I don’t think about how beautiful they are. They’re just awesome all around.

This is the eleventh single. Nanase’s last solo center. And such a great song. With one of their more complicated dance. Love the last parts of the MV where you get them dancing. They’ve given this song to 3rd Gen to perform which was gracious of the senpai. Goodness all around.

This one’s been rocketing up my favorites list. I think the entire single is pretty phenomenal — all songs are classic. Over all, it is a release I would advise you to buy. Like now. Or listen to on spotify.

The seventh single is my favorite. This MV is the first of their story telling MVs. It’s a very interesting one. I wish the bulk of it we could hear the song rather than the movie effects. The song is very good.

The selected members is great, too. Eto, Kawago, and Himetan’s first senbatsu. Asuka returns. Hori is airdropped into center — first 2nd Gen to center. She was only a member for 6 months. Surprise.

The “Nogizaka tte, Doko?” episode of this single’s selection is also my favorite. Kashiwa played a great role — her happy face before she graduated. I wish she had stayed longer. But the new senbatsu member’s cried their eyes out so amazing. I wish you could see it. I wish I could see it again.

Need another song like this, please.

I didn’t post Seifuku no Mannequin yesterday, because I already posted it in the past week and I didn’t want to clutter my timeline.

The fifth single. Kimi no Nawa Kibou. Some consider this their best song. Lots of fans do and maybe they tell the more casual fans it is. It certainly is their most important. This is the song that they sang on their first appearance at Kouhaku.

This is Ikoma’s last center of the early singles. After this she’s done. And the fandom may have rejoiced. Not me. I love Ikoma so she could be center any time. Sadly, maybe the last.

Might as well give you something to understand where we’re coming from.

Nogizaka46’s fourth single, Seifuku no Mannequin (制服のマネキン), “Mannequin in a school uniform.” Up until this release, they weren’t cool. Then they were. Ikoma centers. Too cool. Too cool.

I consider this song where they start becoming the idols they are today.
