Produced by Yasushi Akimoto of AKB48 fame under Sony Music Entertainment, Nogizaka46 is AKB's first official rival group. Divided into generations instead of teams (like in SDN48, a former sister group to AKB) and without a theater they regularly perform, their image is more mature than AKB's.Like AKB48, they have their own sister groups: Sakurazaka46 (formerly Kanji Keyakizaka46), Hinatazaka46 (formerly Hiragana Keyakizaka46), and Yoshimotozaka46 (a mixed-gender group with a much wider age range). Collectively, Nogizaka46 and its sister groups are part of the Sakamichi series.The group is represented by the color purple and currently has 43 members (they usually have 46 members maximum), spanning five generations. The group's captain is Manatsu Akimoto and their vice captain is Minami Umezawa.Besides performing music, they also have their own television shows, dramas, and stage plays, including: Nogizakatte doko?, (often shortened to Nogidoko), hosted by Bananaman (Osamu Shitara and Yuki Himura) note  Nogizaka's first variety show, started in 2011. Ended in 2015 and was replaced by Nogizaka Kōjichū. Nogiten and Nogiten 2note  This show generally focused on the Under members. Ended in 2019. Nogibingo!, hosted by Ijiri Okadanote  Nogibingo! is separated by season, unlike its AKB counterpart which was an ongoing show. It had ten seasons. Ended once the original show ended. Nogizaka46 SHOW! (episodes of AKB48 SHOW! dedicated to them, ended in 2019 along with the original show) Nogizaka Kōjichū (Nogizaka Under Construction, often shortened to Nogichū), hosted by Bananamannote  Started in 2015, this show replaced Nogizakatte Doko? Nogizaka46 Eigo (Nogieigo), hosted by Taku Suzuki and real English teacher Tetsuya Yasukochi note Has two seasons with different casts for each, save for Maaya Wada. Nogizaka46 Sekai Tabi: Konno-san hotto itteyo!note A travel show where two Nogizaka members go overseas without the supervision of staff... allegedly Nogizaka Doko e, hosted by Saraba Seishun no Hikari (Tetsuya Morita and Higashi Bukuro) note This show focuses on the fourth generation members.

FanGirl: Plenty. Nanase Nishino is a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, doing a pose when they walk down the stairs on Music Station. She also does it during the instrumental choreography of "Jikochuu de Ikou!" Sayuri Inoue is a fan of Super Sentai and had a guest role in Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger. Kotoko Sasaki is a fan of Fairy Tail, she met the creator in person during Nogibingo! and has a location in the manga that is named after her. She also got herself a manual transmission driver's license (which is harder to obtain than automatic) because she likes the character Rei Furuya in Case Closed who drives a manual Mazda RX-7, even though she doesn't intend to drive stick.

Abandoned Catchphrase
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_13342c25
comment
Abandoned Catchphrase: Mai Shiraishi once had a catchphrase that incorporated her love for mayonnaise (I come from Planet Mayora of the fourth dimension). She only did it once, presumably that one time being the first episode of Nogizakatte Doko?. It has since become somewhat of an Old Shame for her. A majority of the members, particularly the first gens, have catchphrases that they no longer use. Kana Nakada is probably the only one (of the first gens) that still uses the catchphrase that was created for her on Nogizakatte Doko?. In Nogizaka Kōjichū episode 60, fathers of several members propose a catchphrase for their daughters, which most of them dislike. Averted by Sayuri Inoue, whose proposed catchphrase refers to her love of Super Sentai. Haruka Kaki's old catchphrase is an imitation of Sunshine Ikezaki's main gag, which is overly long and animated. Her favorite senior Mizuki Yamashita also did something similar during her first appearance on Nogizaka Kōjichū.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_1434e55c
comment
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Whenever they do a family survey, expect the members' parents to reveal some embarrassing things that they rather not be told. Kana Nakada's father is the biggest culprit. Kana doesn't seem to be close with him, going as far as to not invite him to their concerts. This strain seemingly stems from a time when Kana's dad teased her about having a crush when she was a kid.

Darker and Edgier: The MV of "Inochi wa Utsukushii" goes for a more gothic theme. The MV of "Ōkami ni Kuchibue wo" is about an all girl school that gets overtaken by student-turned-werewolves. Well, sort of, the students are still human, wear gothic clothing, and bite their victim which turns them into werewolves, so they're more akin to zombies. Zambi is definitely a stark contrast to the more brighter Hatsumori Bemars. "Actually..." itself was considered this, with fans comparing the theme and mood of the song to Keyakizaka46.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: During a bag check in Nogizakatte Doko?, Shitara pulls out a face massager from Manatsu Akimoto's bag, being unsure if he should show it to the camera due to its rather phallic appearance. Cue laughter and squees from the members.

Tempting Fate: On one of their single campaigns, whilst hiking a mountain, Manatsu Akimoto states that if they fall or slip they could die. Cut to a few seconds later where Manatsu trips. Might also count as a hilarious in hindsight, both Mai Fukagawa and Nanami Hashimoto said that they did not want the center position in an early episode of Nogizaka Kōjichū. Come 2016 and they both have centered one song each. Granted it's their graduation song, but still.

Picked Last: In episode 19 of Nogizaka Kōjichū, the (at the time) senbatsu members were split into two teams, with the double centers (Nishino and Shiraishi) being the captains and having to choose who they wanted on their team. It came down to Manatsu Akimoto and Minami Hoshino, with Manatsu not even being picked by either captain.

Why We Can't Have Nice Things
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_19add21f
comment
Why We Can't Have Nice Things: The members often complain about their catering during the Zenkoku tours, specifically that they don't get enough gyutan. They have a ticketing system where a member can only get a plate of gyutan if they have a ticket, which would lead to Sayuri Matsumura hoarding the tickets from staff and other members. The next day, the tickets had their names on it, meaning they can only get one ticket each.

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_1a09b4f9
comment
The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Himeka Nakamoto and her little sister Suzuka, frontwoman of BABYMETAL. Exaggerated by the fans to the extent Himeka gets very annoyed if they bring it up at handshake events and the like. In reality, while Himeka has been more than willing to dish on minor grievances (like Su's habit of raiding Himeka's closet), she has also implied the two are close, and Su has never publicly said one word against her older sister. When a fan commented on her 755 page that the two sisters are indistinguishable, this is Himetan's reply. In an idol TV show, host Seiji Chihara (a proud Babymetal fan who was even interviewed for their tenth anniversary booklet) is almost too ecstatic when Maaya Wada mentions that Himeka is Su's sister. He also mentions that he's in the same position since his comedy partner, "Junior" Chihara, is also his real younger brother (and apparently more popular than him).

The Klutz: Manatsu Akimoto tends to trip over a few times. Although whether she is actually clumsy or doing it on purpose (to look cute) is debatable. Episode 112 of Nogizakatte Doko? had Himeka Nakamoto dribbling a basketball, attempting a layup, then unceremoniously crashing into the post (because her collision literally moved the backboard, she didn't make the layup either). For the record, such clumsiness runs in her family, and fans of both agreed her little sister Suzuka would have failed even harder.

The Rival: They were pushed as the official rival of AKB48 in their first few years, after which the concept was downplayed, until both groups started bringing it up again in 2021. It was announced that producer Yasushi Akimoto and the talent agency Avex would launch another official rival group in 2023, in addition to or replacing AKB48.

Anime Theme Song: "Tsuki no Ōkisa" was the theme song for Naruto Shippuden's 15th season. "Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga Iru" was used as the theme for The Anthem of the Heart. As far as ending themes go, two subunits for the group performed The Moment You Fall in Love. ~Confess Your Love Committee~'s credits song "Daikirai na wa Hazu Datta". "Sora Tobira" was used as the theme for Nanatsu no Taizai. The Karaage Shimai (Sayuri Matsumura and Erika Ikuta) sang "1・2・3" for Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

Gyaru Girl: Nogichū episodes 277-278 are the High Schooler Quiz segment, where Bananaman and the older members guess the meaning of gyaru slangs, while a trio of younger members called the Gyaru 3 (Ayame Tsutsui, Renka Iwamoto, and Tamami Sakaguchi) offer hints and explanations for the slangs.

 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_2e6a41e0
comment
Gratuitous English: Their songs become this whenever an English word pops up. "Influencer" is a common song that is picked on mainly because the group puts heavy emphasis on the "sa" (インフルエンサー) part of the word, which in turns makes it sound like they're saying "Influenza" instead of "Influencer". "Sing Out!" is littered with these. "Bring peace" is a glaring example, with both Japanese and international fans mistaking it as "green peas". "Route 246". Good lord. Three quarters of the song is in English.

Lethal Chef: Erika Ikuta. When the group were tasked to cook a meal during the early days of Nogizakatte Doko?, Ikuta was assigned to make dashimaki tamago. Things took a steep nosedive when she poured the scrambled eggs directly on top of the hot plate, and tried to stop the overflowing eggs with an anchovy and kelp. She did eventually put the ingredients onto a pan, but it was already too late. What eventually made it on the plate was a pile of mess that tasted nothing but anchovies. Although she has apparently gotten better in recent years, making a convincing looking dashimaki tamago during a bento contest. However, the dashimaki tamago were still tasteless. Sayuri Matsumura is also this. During the Nogizakatte Doko? cooking check, she was tasked with making Gomoku Chahan (Japanese fried rice), where it looked like she just grabbed any ingredients, mostly those not part of the recipe, "chopped" them by ripping them apart with her hands, and unceremoniously throwing them in a pan. What resulted was a very off putting dish that had no semblance of fried rice and tasted crazy spicy. She didn't even bother to cook during the bento contest and instead opted to pull a prank on the hosts by sabotaging her rice-balls with wasabi and spicy mustard.

Embarrassing Old Photo: Episode 93 and 94 of Nogizaka Kōjichū had members share what they considered their worst photo (alongside their best). Most were old photos from the early days, some even going into detail on why they dislike their photo. In episode 63 of Nogizaka Kōjichū, Kazumi freaks out when a family friend tries to show the other Nogizaka members purikura of Kaz and his daughter. This tended to happen when Nogizakatte Doko? did a birthday episode which highlighted members in their childhood days, which of course the parents would provide some embarrassing photos or videos for the show.

Rika Sato's catchphrase is "National language, mathematics, science (理科 rika), social studies... what's everyone's favorite subject?" Haruka Kaki has revealed that her extended family habitually attends their shows carrying pictures of persimmons (柿 kaki, different character from her surname 賀喜). The top and bottom ranks in the academic tests are called Intellect Queen (頭脳王) and No-Intellect Queen (頭NO王), both of which are pronounced zunou-ou.

First-Name Basis: Members are usually referred to by their first names if their nickname is just their given name. The Saitos (Asuka, Chiharu, Yuuri) and Itos (Nene, Marika, Karin, Junna, Riria) are also rarely referred by their surnames. Minami Hoshino laments on this during Nogizaka Kōjichū #259, saying that she feels jealous when Bananaman refers to Asuka and Maaya by their first names and wants them to start calling her by her first name, which they eventually do.

Comedic Sociopathy: Nanami Hashimoto apparently likes the misfortunes of others. They even did an entire episode (#70) about it on Nogizaka Kōjichū. Asuka Saito has been proclaimed to be a sadist by the other members, and it is shown that she is rough with the kohai members. They also reused the misfortune storytelling episode with her as the judge in Nogizaka Kōjichū (#220-221). She also describes herself as "dark" when appealing to a group of foreigners in another episode, and in yet another episode she reveals her enjoyment of "dark" music, particularly Evanescence. In a food review segment, Ashurin remarks that crushing the cup-shaped cookie she's eating is an expression of human being's innate desire to destroy. In Nogizaka Apartment, she tends to goad the other characters into conflicts For the Lulz. And the king of sadists isn't even part of the group. Bananaman's Osamu Shitara loves to troll the members.

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The group's first two or three singles were more idol-like, energetic, and up-beat. Apart from the summer singles (and a few exceptions), most of their songs now are more slower and are closer to ballads. It'll sometimes feel odd to see Misa Eto or Asuka Saito in any Under songs or MV, since they are senbatsu regulars. Both Nogizakatte Doko? and Nogizaka Kōjichū can be this. The former had guests on the show that taught them various things (and to be fair, this was when they were starting out). The latter had a "member of the week" format, where the whole episode focuses on a certain member, with the intention that everyone would get an episode.

comment
And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating: A live-action version, the members' chairs in Nogichu were given a modest upgrade in 2021 as reward for completing a series of challenges. It started when Asuka Saito complained that they've used the chairs since the first Nogizakatte Doko? started in 2011 and those are the least comfortable among all the main Sakamichi variety shows. As a side note, Hinatazaka46 made the same request in their show a year before (since their chairs, while quite fancy, were too tall for them) and got them without having to jump through any hoops.

Animal Motif: As Asuka's name has the same kanji characters as "flying bird" (飛鳥, read as hichou), birds are often associated with her. Teresa Ikeda is associated with ducks, as she likes them and collects rubber ducks. It wasn't made up for TV either, as it was first discovered by fans on her old personal Twitter account.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_5beef860
comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Mai Shiraishi is this trope to the T. It has been showcased a few times that she just does not like snakes. Nanase Nishino, however, is an aversion as she loves snakes and other reptiles. Yumi Wakatsuki is also afraid of snakes. Miona Hori does not like ghosts or haunted places. Although she loves horror movies.

Dislikes the New Guy
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_5c5eb7c9
comment
Dislikes the New Girl: Nanase Nishino to Manatsu Akimoto. When Manatsu Akimoto returned from her hiatus in late 2012, she was immediately given a spot in the second row of senbatsu (for the fourth single), this meant that someone had to be pushed back, and that someone was Nishino (she felt that her spot was taken by Manatsu and that she had been "kicked out" of the Fukujin - members from the first two rows). From late 2012 to early 2014, the pair had a bitter relationship, with the two barely talking to each other. Minami Hoshino was this to Miona Hori. When Miona entered senbatsu for the seventh single and became the center, Minami got sent to the Under girls. In addition, they are of similar age (Miona being a year older), so Minami felt that she had been replaced by Miona. Unlike the Nanase and Manatsu relationship, the two got over their differences and became friends soon after. The original MV for "Actually..." features Mizuki Yamashita locking center Aruno Nakanishi in an unused studio room for an entire day since she has a bad feeling about her joining the group. As it turned out, Aruno got suspended in real life due to a scandal and a second version of the MV without her was produced, while the original became a bonus content (see the YMMV page for details).

Big Eater: Erika Ikuta and Sayuri Matsumura are known to be two of Nogizaka's biggest eaters. They once held a competition to determine the number one glutton, with the pair eating bowls worth of rice. In the end, Sayuri won the battle. Hazuki Mukai gave Matsumura a run for her money when the pair had a eating contest on Nogibingo!. She has also been shown to be a big eater on other programs. The entire group can be considered this, in most variety shows they're in, they are mostly eating or talking about food.

Audience Participation Song: Live performances of "Oide Shampoo" have the audience chanting the fanmade call "Kana Nakada only, Kana Nakada only, my Kana Nakada only" (中田花奈しか、中田花奈しか、俺の中田花奈しか) in the interlude, regardless of whether or not she's in the lineup (or still a member at all). When Hiragana Keyakizaka46's second gen covered the song in that group's last show before rebranding, some of the audience changed the call to "Hina Kawata only", since she was the center.

Psycho Psychologist: Shiori Kubo's character in the drama Kuroshinri ("Black Psychology") is a Manipulative Bastard who teaches people on all sides of a conflict just enough psychological tricks to keep things entertaining for her. However, many of those people are Asshole Victims, and although she does make good people suffer in the process, all involved parties in each case get what they deserve in the end, making her more of an Anti-Hero. She also has unexplained Teleportation powers and can take people to Another Dimension for training, and is also a Badass Bookworm with her staff.

Signature Move
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_675056e4
comment
Signature Move: Some members have a signature move. Himeka Nakamoto has her trademark "Himetan Beam". Although "beam" is an English word, she insists that the move's name should always be written in hiragana (ひめたんびーむ). Nanami Hashimoto also does a variant ("Nanamin Beam"), usually doing it unwillingly. Many other members have also done their take on the move. Sayuri Matsumura has her "Sayuringo Punch". Manatsu Akimoto shoots fans' hearts with a "Zukkyun!" Other members have tried to make a signature move to help their popularity, such as Hina Kawago with her "Kawago Chop" or Ami Noujo and her "AmiAmi Hurricane". Nogibingo host Ijiri Okada has his high-speed flapping tongue.

comment
We Hardly Knew Ye: Yoshimoto Ayaka and Yamamoto Honoka were two first generation members that left the group before the group even got their own variety show. Nothing is known about those two members apart from Yoshimoto being the original choice for center. The three second generation kenkyuuseis also left very shortly after their introduction, all at around the same time. Some of the first generation members that left a year or two after the group's debut single can be this, due to them rarely ever making any appearances on their main show.

Everyone Looks Sexier if French: Variant; the group's image is based on the Japanese perception of elite French private school students, in contrast to AKB which represent normal public school girls. Among others, this means much less bikini and lingerie photoshoots, more demure personalities, less revealing costumes, and no flashy accessories or nail art.

But Not Too Foreign: Erika Ikuta was born in Düsseldorf, Germany. A Running Gag in her early career was that people were always highly impressed by this. Her first photobook was also shot in Düsseldorf. Asuka Saito is half Burmese. Seira Miyazawa is 1/4 French. Yuri Kitagawa was born in California. Rei Seimiya also lived in that state's Foster City as a child. Haruka Kuromi was born in Hong Kong. She has revealed in the group's blog that she has a middle name, Rachel. Inverted with Ayano-Christie Yoshida. Despite her name, she was born and raised in Japan. Her family had planned to move to Hawaii and gave her a name that would be easy to use in Hawaii. Also inverted with Teresa Ikeda. Many fans thought she was half-Japanese due to her first name, but she revealed on Nogizaka Kōjichū that there was no reason whatsoever for her name being Teresa.

As of April, it has also exceeded 300,000 copies, and contrary to popular belief about photobooks, a third of its buyers are reportedly females of all ages, thanks partly to her work in musicals.

Recycled Title: Nogizakatte, Doko? (Where is Nogizaka?) and Nogizaka, doko e? (Nogizaka, Where To?) were both shortened as Nogidoko. Nogizaka, Star Tanjou! is named after the Showa-era Nippon TV talent show, Star Tanjou!.

Hated Hometown: Mai Shiraishi rarely ever talks about her home prefecture Gunma, or her home town, although she has never spoken any ill towards the place. In their documentary, her mother revealed that Mai was severely bullied during her school days in her hometown, so you could say she has very strong reasons not to bring up her hometown.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: In Nogieigo episode 19, when asked to choose an item she'd use when she's thirsty, Ami Nojo picks a teapot and cup set, because although she doesn't know what it means, "thirsty" has the sound "tea" in it. Taku comments that she has created a miracle. In episode 140 of Nogizaka Kōjichū, Maaya correctly guessed the number of the Apollo spacecraft that landed on the moon. When asked how she guessed it, she concludes that two rockets are better than one.

Living a Double Life: Erika Ikuta's individual video for the "Gomen ne, Fingers Crossed" single features her as the secret boss of a yakuza gang in addition to idol. When she discovers that a rival gang member happens to be her fan, she interrogates him as her idol self by playing him a song on an electric piano which doubles as an Electric Torture device, in order not to expose her secret life (the thug is too happy about the private show to question why his idol is also a Torture Technician).

Location Theme Naming: The group was named after Sony Music Entertainment's office building on Nogizaka street in Akasaka, where they were first introduced to the public (their management office is actually in the SME Rokubancho building, not too far from there). Their sister groups are subsequently also named after real sloping streets (sakamichi) in Tokyo, except for Yoshimotozaka, which is named after their Osaka-based management company, Yoshimoto Kogyo. The title Nogizaka Kōjichū ("Nogizaka Under Construction") alludes to this. They also customarily have their coming-of-age ceremony (seijin-shiki) at the Nogi Shrine (乃木神社) near the Nogizaka building.

Played straight with Mai Shiraishi's second photobook, Passport, in which she posed in bikinis and lingerie and had a few handbra shots. The book went on to sell 447,000+ copies and, until 2020, was the highest-selling solo female photobook in history (for perspective, 10,000 copies sold is considered good enough for photobooks). Erika Ikuta's second photobook, Intermission, was released in January 2019 and surpassed Mai's photobook in first week sales with 178,688 copies sold, and it's just as lewd as Mai's photobook (granted, both were made by the same publisher). As of April, it has also exceeded 300,000 copies, and contrary to popular belief about photobooks, a third of its buyers are reportedly females of all ages, thanks partly to her work in musicals. Yuki Yoda's photobook also sold 130,000 copies in its first week.

Ascended Extra: Any Under member that makes it into senbatsu, especially those that have been around for a long time before making their first senbatsu (like Ayane Suzuki). Asuka Saito can be seen as this. At the beginning, she was in and out of the senbatsu, being in three of the first ten singles and usually in the third row. She reclaimed a senbatsu spot for the eleventh single (and became a senbatsu regular since then). She then gained a spot in the second row before becoming the center for the group's 15th single.

Recycled Premise: When presenting her Quiz Club, Kazumi Takayama suggests copying an entire premise or format of other quiz shows, to which Bananaman jokingly wonder if there will be any repercussions in doing so. Nogizaka Kōjichū does this a lot. They would usually redo a premise after about two years, which by then there are new members (or the older members that didn't get to do it the first time get to do it the second time).

Asuka Saito has flown to other countries just to sample premium beef cuts. Reika Sakurai has an affinity towards sea urchins. Momoko Ozono likes tomatoes. Rei Seimiya is the "professor of oranges".

Even the Subtitler Is Stumped
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_aea21604
comment
Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: Usually happens when Kazumi Takayama speaks, due to her voice causing her to slur her words. An example would be in a valentines episode of Nogizaka Kōjichū where she tried to explain her and Momoko Ozono's relationship but slurs her words halfway. Also sometimes happens for the other members when they talk while they are flustered.

Accidental Misnaming
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_af616e40
comment
Accidental Misnaming: One of Ami Noujo's nickname, Johnson, originated from this. Osamu Shitara had misheard Ami recall a time when Kazumi Takayama called her "Jo-san". This nickname became popular among the fans and stuck. In episode 126 of Nogizaka Kōjichū, Mizuki Yamashita revealed that Reika Sakurai kept misnaming her as Mitsuki during an MC segment. Though this could simply be Mizuki's name having the 月 kanji (which can also be read as Tsuki). Rei Seimiya says that people mistakenly call her "Kiyomiya" due to 清 also being read as Kiyo.

Fish out of Water: To pray for the success of the group's 15th single that she centered, Asuka Saito traveled to her mother's homeland, Myanmar, as shown in Nogizaka Kōjichū episode 68. She is taken aback by the lax safety and hygiene standards there (compared to Japan), and when she arrives at the Golden Rock holy site, it turns out that only men may offer their prayers on the rock, so she has to ask her tour guide to pray on her behalf. Nevertheless, she's happy to celebrate her first birthday abroad in Myanmar, and even receives a surprise visit from her mother's sisters.

Bananaman's Yuuki Himura is this, always being the butt of jokes on their show. Will always get the most weirdest gifts from the members, to the point that it looks like they are mocking him.

Impossible Task: A recurring theme in Nogizaka Kōjichū is the summer holiday task episodes, where members challenge themselves by learning a skill over the summer. Now, consider that this is also during the time they have their summer tour, among also having other jobs to do, it might seem impossible for them to find time to do something just for the show. Taken up to eleven with Himeka Nakamoto's task, who wanted to be able to do tongue-twisters (so she could become an announcer). The task was deemed too simple, so it was changed to her trying to attempt to sing Scatman. Yes, Scatman. Her practices proved fruitless as she failed to complete the task.

Through His Stomach: Episode 39 of Nogizakatte Doko? had Kazumi Takayama, Mai Shiriashi, Sayuri Matsumura, and Erika Ikuta cook for Himura (the first three to appeal to him, while Ikuta for revenge for her failed dashimaki tamago). The former two did well, the latter two... unsurprisingly did not. They held a bento contest and nabe contest during Nogizaka Kōjichū where they had to do a small skit attempting to win their boyfriend (Himura for the bento contest, the viewer for the nabe contest) with the food they made.

Shiori Kubo is an unabashed Nogizaka otaku, getting very excited over certain thins about the group or their music that most people wouldn't think of.

Hinako Kitano is known to be a gamer, playing Counter-Strike and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Several members play Animal Crossing: New Horizons. A few episodes of Nogizaka Kōjichū have the members play videos games against Bananaman.

Nanami Hashimoto was known for having powdered chili in her bag to put on food. Episode 30 of Nogizakatte Doko? showed just how much chili she puts on her food, even when the food she was given was already spicy to begin with.

Genre Throwback: The 4th gen variety show Nogizaka Star Tanjou! is a throwback to Showa era music TV shows, in contrast to the members who were mostly born in the 21st century. Every episode features a segment where one of them duets a Showa or Heisei era hit song (technically anything from between December 25, 1926 and May 1, 2019, but mostly 80s or 90s stuff in practice) with a popular artist from that era. It's no coincidence that the host duo Pekopa are famous for their catchphrase "Let's turn back time!"

Reika Sakurai earned the title of "Comment Queen" and "Nabe Queen". Ayane Suzuki earned the title "water balloon queen" on Nogizaka Kōjichū for her ability to catch water balloons.

"Super Sentai" Stance: Two episodes of Nogibingo! (though in separate seasons) were themed around superheroes. The participating members would do a pose for their character, especially Sayuri Inoue who goes full ham.

 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_e2d457

The Ditz: Maaya Wada. She won the original contest to find Nogizaka's number one idiot. She has shown time and time again that she isn't the brightest bulb. What's even scarier is that she has a drivers license. Third generation member Reno Nakamura has since taken the title of "baka queen" from Maaya, having won the title in episode 140 of Nogizaka Kōjichū. Fourth generation member Mayu Tamura is also not very smart, naming her hometown as one of the prefectures of Shikoku. Fellow fourth generation member Saya Kanagawa would also fall into this. Nogizaka Kōjichū #319-320 held a third round of the baka queen test, with fourth generation member Nao Yumiki taking the title. In a Nogizaka, Star Tanjou! episode, Maaya, Reno, and Nao cover a song by Shuchishin, a 2008 boy band made up of three actors who did poorly in a quiz show.

Inverted with Ayano-Christie Yoshida. Despite her name, she was born and raised in Japan. Her family had planned to move to Hawaii and gave her a name that would be easy to use in Hawaii.

Height Angst: Minami Umezawa points out that due to her height (170 cm), her face would often get cut off on tv screens. She even recalls an absurd example where a website decided to put an ad right on her face in a group photo, rather than placing it elsewhere on the photo. Ranze Terada is frustrated whenever members who are not even taller than her (155 cm) call her Shorty, and vents it out on a vase with a bat in Nogibingo!9 episode 10. Yuuki Yoda's Nogizaka Cinemas drama is about her character's frustration that her height (153 cm) supposedly prevents her from advancing in her lifelong interest, jazz dance.

Crossover: From 2014 to 2015, Rina Ikoma held a concurrent position in AKB48 Team B, while Rena Matsui of SKE48 held a position in Nogizaka. Episode 87 Nogizaka Kōjichū was a one hour crossover episode with their sister group, Keyakizaka46. The following episode also featured their sister group, but was simply a clip show of scenes that didn't make the one hour special. Select members have also performed with AKB48 members as part of a unit for AKB48 singles, such as SakamichiAKB and IZ4846 with IZ*ONE members. AKB's Rina Hirata is the unofficial teaching assistant in Nogieigo until her graduation. Miona Hori cameoed in Majisuka Gakuen, and Nanase Nishino and Mai Shiraishi appeared in its spinoff Cabasuka Gakuen. AKB's Haruka Shimazaki and HKT48's Sakura Miyawaki cameoed in Hatsumori Bemars. AKB48 Show! sometimes gets turned into Nogizaka46 Show!, where the entire episode becomes about Nogizaka and covers any events or concerts that they have going on. Nogizaka46 have also appeared in AKBingo! in 2014. Sayuri Matsumura, and other Nogizaka members, co-hosts Yoshimotozaka46's main variety show. All three female Sakamichi groups collaborated in the drama Borderless (it was originally written with Kanji and Hiragana Keyakizaka members in mind). Nogizaka was represented by Seira Hayakawa and Sakura Endo; Sakurazaka sent Yui Kobayashi, Risa Watanabe, and Hikaru Morita; and Hinatazaka had Kyoko Saito and Hiyori Hamagishi.

One-Steve Limit: Like with AKB48, averted. They've had three Mais (Fukagawa, Shiraishi, Shinuchi), two Sayuris (Inoue, Matsumura), two Rinas (Ikoma, Yamato), three Hinas (Kawago, Higuchi, Okamoto), four Seiras (Miyazawa, Nagashima, Hatanaka, Hayakawa), three Renas (Ichiki, Yamazaki, plus SKE48 exchange member Matsui), two Minamis (Hoshino, Umezawa), two Nanamis (Hashimoto and Nishikawa), two Yuris (Saito and Kitagawa) two Harukas (Kaki and Kuromi), two Sakuras (Endo and Kawasaki), and two Naos (Yumiki and Tomisato). In regards to surnames, they've had five Itos (Marika, Nene, Karin, Junna, Riria), three Saitos (Chiharu, Yuri, Asuka), and two Inoues (Sayuri and Nagi). All three female Sakamichi groups have/had Saitos and Watanabes. Interestingly, the four Watanabes (Miria, Sakurazaka's Rika and Risa, and Hinatazaka's Miho) left their respective groups between mid-2021 and mid-2022, bringing the count from four people to zero. Both the fifth generation and Hinatazaka's second generation have a Nao (Tomisato and Kosaka) and a Miku (Ichinose and Kanemura).

Digging Yourself Deeper: In episode 72 Nogizaka Kōjichū, it was shown that Manatsu Akimoto had slipped during the summer tour, during the fireworks display, and was even told not to slip during the concert beforehand. She tried to defend herself by saying it was only this one time, to which the members remind her this isn't the first time she's slipped. She tries the same excuse again in episode 124 Nogizaka Kōjichū.

But Now I Must Go: When a member graduates, they usually have a small segment at the end of an episode where they say their goodbyes. Popular members get an entire episode dedicated to them. Many graduated members are still signed on to Nogizaka management, including those who have nominally retired from showbiz like Himeka Nakamoto.

comment
Engrish: Despite their best efforts, the cast of Nogieigo can't seem to escape this, although they usually still manage to communicate effectively. The cast for the second season seem to fare a bit better than the previous one (before they brought back Maaya), which leads the hosts to comment that the show finally feels like an actual English edutainment show. In Nogizaka Kōjichū #236, Maaya starts the show by saying that the 12th month in English is "winter". In the very next episode, it is reported that she failed the 4th level of the Eiken English proficiency test, which is middle school level (she retook it 4 months later and passed).note Said test was the focus in Nogieigo, where she actually came close to passing. In an episode of Nogizaka Kōjichū, they go to Guam and attempt to appeal to a group of tourists in English. A few of the members tested their English skills again in a special episode of YOU wa Nani Shi ni Nihon e? (Why Did You Come to Japan?), which is hosted by Bananaman. The narrator of Nogizaka Kōjichū even gets on this during Yoda's viper hunting challenge. When Yoda catches five vipers, the narrator proclaimed "I habunote have five habu". A Running Gag in the Nogidan radio show is Miyu Matsuo struggling to understand Rei Seimiya's perfect English in the English language segments. In an episode of Nogieigo, Nick points out that Yuri Kitagawa had to downgrade her native pronunciation to Engrish so that the others could understand her. Rei Seimiya also has to switch to Engrish when singing "Gomen ne Fingers crossed", but gets to show off her native pronunciation in "Actually...".

Product Placement: Several episodes of Nogizaka Kōjichū involve them hunting for appliances at the Bic Camera electronic store. Sometimes, the products are brought by the store to the studio for them to consider. The Panasonic Cuble washing machine is a favorite, even though it costs about $3000. In Nogizaka Kōjichū 248, Asuka decides to promote her (and Yamashita and Umezawa's) live action series adaptation of the manga Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, all while pretending to be talking about the manga. The Nogizaka Apartment Web Video Series is made to promote the Cupstar instant ramen brand. Sakura Endo brought soba noodles from her family's shop, Ensoba, during her introduction in Nogichu. Rei Seimiya promotes her grandmother's tomatoes on her blog and Nogizaka Kōjichū. The Nogikoi Days shorts feature their characters discussing love while enjoying 7-Eleven food and drinks. After the 2022 46 Hour TV, there's an after-party live stream where the adult members enjoy Asahi beer. Former members like Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino have also appeared in Asahi commercials.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In the early days of the 3rd generation's entrance, fans often noted how Minami Umezawa looked similar to Mai Shiraishi. Then, when Shiraishi graduated in 2020, Minami Umezawa would often take her center position in the song Synchronicity. Former member Rena Yamazaki graduated from the prestigious Keio University, speaks fluent Chinese, and often appeared in quiz shows. Yuri Kitagawa entered Keio in 2020, speaks native-level English, and often appears in quiz shows. As of 2022, unfortunately neither of them have been included in the senbatsu (title song lineup); as Renachi puts it during her Achi Kochi Audrey appearance, her showbiz career has been supported by TV Asahi (Q-sama quiz show broadcaster) and NHK (she had her own show there) rather than the group's management.

Rena Yamazaki, Haruka Kaki, Nagi Inoue, and Teresa Ikeda are among the other good artists as well.

The MV of "Ōkami ni Kuchibue wo" is about an all girl school that gets overtaken by student-turned-werewolves. Well, sort of, the students are still human, wear gothic clothing, and bite their victim which turns them into werewolves, so they're more akin to zombies.

Running Gag
 Nogizaka46 (Music) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Several. Yumi Wakatsuki's "Hashi-kun" gag, which she learned from a comedian to get rid of her serious character. It has since been passed on to Miona Hori. Ami Noujo will always play the sleazy male character in Nogibingo!. Some early mousou requests on Nogibingo! will always be on the masochistic side. Asuka Saito's clay figure she made in elementary school has shown up three times. Neither Asuka, Fukagawa, Himura, Higuchi, or Kanagawa wants it. Manatsu Akimoto's tripping, slipping, and general clumsiness always gets looked down on, as the members are suspicious as to whether she's doing such acts on purpose. In tandem, whenever Manatsu does something suspicious, expect Mai Shiraishi to turn into Kuroishinote switching Shira meaning white with Kuro meaning black, giving Manatsu a Death Glare and some harsh words. Manatsu in turn doesn't miss the chance to tease Maiyan when the former aced a general knowledge quiz while the latter is among the bottom half. Himura-san will not look at the members with perverted eyes. Zettai! note When Himura was given a choice to join a clique within Nogizaka, one of them was Tulip and their main rule was that they'd go to an onsen together. You can guess which one he joined. The sizes of Manatsu Akimoto and Asuka Saito's head often gets picked on, the former having a large head and the latter having a small head. The size of Manatsu's head has also caused problems when she tries on hats or helmets. When there is food to be won in a game, Bananaman will always sample them first to see if they "taste good", much to the members dismay. During the Bento and Nabe Queen Grand Prix episodes on Nogizaka Kōjichū, Kazumi Takayama would also sample the bento/nabe the members made, usually bringing a friend. The "Shitara's Woman" series of running gag involves the members trying to get Shitara's attention and compliments, commonly trying to get him to notice when they have cut their hair.

Friendly Rivalry: AKB member Mayu Watanabe frequently goes to Nogizaka concerts, and performed with them in a unit called Mayuzaka46 for the song "Twin Tail wa Mou Shinai". Nogizaka members also appear in her drama Saba-dol. Haruna Kojima, also an AKB member, did a song with them as well in a one-shot unit called Kojizaka46. Rina Ikoma also performed in several AKB singles and even placed 14th in their 2014 elections. She herself couldn't believe she ranked that high in her first and only participation in a rival group's popularity poll. A few members from the 48 Group have been to Nogizaka concerts and have a Nogizaka oshi. Miona Hori is known to hang out with NGT48's Yuka Ogino and HKT48's Meru Tashima. An example from within the group would be Manatsu Akimoto and Mai Shiraishi, with the former's cutesy acts or tripping over generally receiving condemnation from the latter. A 2021 AKB48 variety miniseries is titled Surpassed by Nogizaka, The Imperiled AKB48's Great Counterattack, but doesn't actually involve Nogizaka46 beyond the namedropping.

Yuri Kitagawa then suggests that the emergency stairs would be preferable, implying that she's the same.

The Idiot from Osaka: Sayuri Matsumura. Her voice and hand movements sometimes gets noticed, and she can sometimes be the more comedic member of the group. The other Osakan member, Nanase Nishino, is more serious and rarely lets out her Kansai dialect except when actually portraying characters who fit this trope.
