Nogizaka46 'One Second Before Despair'

Nogizaka46 is an idol group that continues to enjoy strong popularity despite frequently changing members.

Compared to K-pop idols, idols from the Sakamichi series tend to have less vocal ability individually.

As a result, many of their songs are arranged with simple melodies that are easy for anyone to sing.

You could say they’re the pinnacle of catchy.

Among them, “One Second Before Despair” is especially easy to sing.

Since it doesn’t use falsetto, I think anyone—regardless of gender—can sing it as long as they choose the right key.

Kotodama CannonNogizaka4654rank/position

Nogizaka46 “Kotodama Cannon”

The song “Kotodama-hou,” included as a coupling track on the 20th single “Synchronicity.” Its lyrics center on the theme of kotodama—the idea that spoken words manifest reality—and may remind you of the earnest feelings of youthful romance.

Although the melody rises and falls sharply from the very beginning, the key is low and the range isn’t wide, making it a good choice even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

With its poppy melody and ensemble that liven up karaoke, it’s a cute number.
