The lyrics of NMB48's song "Nagiichi" describe a sunny day at the beach with friends, where the main vocalist is lying down watching a swimwear show. She's admiring the blue of the sea and how it reaches the sky. She sees scattered jewels shining, and if they distract her, she suggests that she might as well steal them. Being around this environment every day has made her get used to things she treasures so much in that place. She's confident that she will keep the memories forever.
The song's chorus is a question about which girl is the cutest on the beach. She asks the person she's addressing who they would choose. She then suggests that they put it all out there and ask openly who they will spend their summer with. She asks them to picture themselves in love with someone and see how far they have to go to show their affection. She reassures her friend that they're not lovers or friends, but they're free to choose their distance.

散らばったジュエルが キラキラと輝いて
The scattered jewels glisten and twinkle brightly.
目移りするなら盗んじゃえ!
If you can't decide on which to choose, why not steal them all?
そばにいすぎて 慣れてしまった
Being too close made us get used to each other.
大事なものがここに (ここに) あるよ (あるよ)
What's important is just right here.
きっと 思い出せ!
Surely, we can recall it!
渚で一番かわいい girl (かわいい girl)
Who is the cutest girl on the shore? (Cute girl)
あなたはどの娘を指差すの? (指差すの?)
Which girl are you pointing to? (Are you pointing?)
ナギイチ はっきりしようじゃないか
Let's make it clear who the winner is.
夏の恋は 誰と 誰とする?
Who will you choose as your summer love?
ハンパない太陽 照りつける光と影
The extreme sun radiates both light and shadow.
どこが熱いかとか見当つかない
I can't tell which part is hot.
どれくらい思えば 愛しさをかたちにして
How much do we have to think to shape our love?
あなたまでちゃんと伝わるの?
Can it truly reach you?
友達じゃなく 恋人じゃない
We're not friends nor lovers.
自由な距離さ いつの (いつの) 日にか (日にか)
Someday, we'll find the freedom to be apart.
きっと わかるんだ
Surely, we'll understand.
当然 私は自信ある (自信ある)
Of course, I'm confident.
ナギイチ 白黒つけようじゃないか
Let's make it clear who the winner is.
夢の中でキスを キスをしよう
Let's kiss in our dreams.
答えなさい 誰と 誰と
Answer me, who is it?
夏の恋は 結局 私でしょう?
In the end, it's me who has your summer love, right?

灼熱の砂浜
寝そべった水着ショー
海のその青さ
空まで染みる
散らばったジュエルが
キラキラと輝いて
目移りするなら盗んじゃえ!
そばにいすぎて
慣れてしまった
大事なものが
ここに あるよ きっと…
思い出せ!
渚で一番かわいいGirl
あなたはどの娘(こ)を指差すの?
ナギイチ はっきりしようじゃないか
夏の恋は 誰と…誰とする?
ハンパない太陽
照りつける光と影
どこが熱いかとか
見当つかない
どれくらい思えば
愛しさをかたちにして
あなたまでちゃんと伝わるの?
友達じゃなく
恋人じゃない
自由な距離さ
いつの 日にか きっと…
わかるんだ
渚で一番かわいいGirl
当然 私は自信ある
ナギイチ 白黒つけようじゃないか
夢の中でキスを…キスをしよう
渚で一番かわいいGirl
あなたはどの娘(こ)を指差すの?

答えなさい 誰と…誰と…
夏の恋は 結局 私でしょう?

ミナミでバイトしてたとき
たまたま山田菜々ちゃんに
会ったのこの時期やったなー。
対応が神すぎてちっちゃい手で
握手までしてくれて。。。
しかも声掛けたのは僕やけど
がんばってーーって言ったら
ありがとうございますって
自分から手まで出してくれて
握手してくれた。
だから。。。
そっからもーーー初めて
アイドルハマって大変やったw
NMBは大阪の誇りです！

このコメント欄熱いファンがいてNMBすごい、高画質にしようとしたり一生懸けて1億再生にしようとしてたりヲタさんを応援したくなる🤣
@user-vm9si8jx2k
秋元さんがどんな気持ちでこの歌詞を考えたか全く理解できんまま平成が終わった
@w.bavasi8958
秋元さんに限らず作詞家ってすごいわな
どっかで見たことあるのは秋元さんはメンバー同士の雑談とかを聞いたりしていて、その会話の中から題材を見つけてくるらしい。

@user-if2mu9ld2q
アイコンがトイプーって可愛いですね。私も茶色トイプー好きです。
ナギイチは、夏曲で令和ずっと聴いていたい曲ですね。
山田菜々さんが特徴的ですね。
