Nogizaka46 starred in a series of commercials for Mouse Computer in 2017, which were noted for feeling more like music videos than traditional advertisements and featured the catchy 'Mausu' song and adorable mouse characters.
Nogizaka46 participated in a promotion for the Japanese suit brand Haruyama, performing AKB48's hit song 'Heavy Rotation' in an unexpected video for the campaign.
In 2018, Nogizaka46 collaborated with the job search platform Baitoru for a prominent campaign.
Nogizaka46 is a Japanese idol girl group established by producer Yasushi Akimoto in 2011. The group was created as an “official rival” to AKB48, differentiating itself with an image based on elegance and refinement. Following their formation, Nogizaka46 quickly gained traction, with their debut single “Guruguru Curtain” reaching second on the Oricon chart in 2012. Their second single, “Oide Shampoo,” became their first number one hit on the Oricon weekly chart the same year, selling 156,000 copies. By the end of 2012, Nogizaka46 was recognized as the top-selling newcomer in Japan, with annual sales of ¥870 million. The group expanded its membership with a second generation in 2013, selected from over 16,000 applicants, and launched its first radio program, “Nogizaka46no, No.” Their initial photobook, “Nogizaka Ha,” debuted at fourth on the Oricon weekly book ranking.
Nogizaka46’s reach extended beyond music into film and television. In 2015, they released their first album, “Tōmei na Iro,” which sold over 220,000 copies in its first week and topped the Oricon weekly albums chart. The same year, they debuted a new television variety show, “Nogizaka Kōjichū,” and starred in their first television drama, “Hatsumori Bemars.” They made their inaugural appearance on NHK’s nationally broadcast New Year program, “Kōhaku Uta Gassen,” performing “Kimi no Na wa Kibō.” The group achieved consecutive Grand Prix wins at the Japan Record Awards in 2017 for “Influencer” and in 2018 for “Synchronicity,” highlighting sustained critical and commercial success. Their discography includes forty-two singles, most of which have reached the top of the Oricon Singles Chart, and five studio albums. The group has sold approximately 18 million CDs in Japan.
Over the years, Nogizaka46 has continued to evolve its structure and presence, including the introduction of third, fourth, and fifth generations of members. They have performed internationally, with concerts in Paris (2014), Shanghai (2018), and Taipei (2019, 2020). Despite member graduations, such as those of key figures Rina Ikoma (2018), Nanase Nishino (2019), and Mai Shiraishi (2020), the group has maintained its popularity and continued to release successful material, including their 10th-anniversary greatest hits album, “Time Flies,” in 2021. The group celebrated its tenth anniversary with a 46-hour live broadcast from February 21–23.
