Nogizaka46 “Same numbers” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a delicate yet beautiful mid-tempo number by Nogizaka46 that captures the feeling of sensing a special meaning in a digital clock’s repeating digits you happen to glance at.

The song was released in July 2025 as the group’s 39th single.

It carries a positive message that frames a heart wavering between hope and reality not as coincidence, but as a story of inevitability.

When you feel a fateful connection in an ordinary moment, or when you want to believe in your own choices, listening to this song might make everyday life shine a little brighter.

It’s a cover of a popular anime’s theme song, but it really brings out the strengths of the original.

I think it appeals broadly to young people as a bridge between idol fans and anime fans.

If you sing it with heart and let your voice flow, it feels very refreshing, so I recommend it even for solo karaoke.
