"Sayonara no Imi" (サヨナラの意味, The meaning of Good-bye) is the 16th single by Japanese idol girl group Nogizaka46. It was released on November 9, 2016.[1] The song became number-one on the weekly Oricon Singles Chart, with 827,717 copies sold.[2] It was also number-one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.[3] This is the group's first Million single certified by RIAJ.[4]

The single has 5 versions. Type-A, Type-B, Type-C, Type-D and a regular edition.[5] On October 20, 2016, the title song was aired for the first time on the Nogizaka46's All Night Nippon.[6] In this radio show, a long-term member Nanami Hashimoto announced that she would retire not only from the group but also from the entertainment industry on her birthday next year.[7] She performed the center position for the first time,[8] and her solo song Naimono Nedari is included in the regular edition.[9]

Music video

The music video for the title song was taken in Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefecture. The filming was interrupted because a typhoon directly hit the location.[10] It was directed by Shō Yanagisawa, also known as the director of Shiseido and Pokémon Go commercial film.[11]
