NGT48 – Chocolate de nemurenai. Lyrics Meaning: When Love Feels Just Like a Chocolate Addiction

Why does a new crush feel so much like a midnight chocolate craving? NGT48’s song “Chocolate de nemurenai” dives into that jittery, sweet feeling. It’s about an excitement so strong, it keeps you wide awake.

    The Midnight Jitters in ‘Chocolate de nemurenai’

    This song tells a super relatable story. It paints a picture of a girl lying in bed, totally unable to sleep. She tries to blame it on something simple, but the real reason is a lot more exciting.

    A Sweet But Sleepless Night

    At first, she points the finger at her favorite snack. We’ve all been there, right? You have a little treat too late at night, and suddenly your brain is buzzing. She thinks the caffeine is the problem, but her racing heart tells a different story.

    Chokoreeto de mou nemurenai (nemurenai)
    I can’t sleep anymore because of chocolate (can’t sleep)
    Kafein ga tsuyokute (tsuyokute)
    The caffeine is too strong (too strong)
    Mune wa mada dokidoki (dokidoki)
    My heart is still pounding (pounding)
    Omokage ga chiratsuiteru
    Your face keeps flashing in my mind
    Anata no sei yo
    It’s your fault

    See? It was never about the chocolate. The real caffeine rush is coming from thinking about her crush. His face is stuck in her head, and that’s the true cause of her sleepless night.

    Choosing Between Two Loves

    The song gets even cuter when she compares her crush to her love for chocolate. It’s a tough competition! Both are sweet, a little intense, and completely irresistible. How could anyone possibly choose?

    Daisuki na mono ga
    The things I love
    Futatsu ni natta no
    Have become two
    Amai chokoreeto to
    Sweet chocolate and
    Chotto bitaa na anata
    A slightly bitter you

    She describes him as “a little bitter,” which is such a great way to describe a crush. It’s that perfect mix of sweet excitement and the slight pain of longing. Just like dark chocolate!

    An Uncontrollable Craving

    She knows she should probably cut back. She’s supposed to be taking care of her skin and dieting. But just like she can’t resist sneaking a piece of chocolate, she can’t stop her feelings for him. It’s a guilty pleasure she just can’t quit.

    Chokoreeto wa gaman dekinai shi (dekinai shi)
    I can’t resist chocolate (can’t resist)
    Kizukeba chuudoku (chuudoku)
    Before I know it, I’m addicted (addicted)
    Sou anata to onaji kurai
    Yes, just as much as you
    Tebanasenai yo
    I can’t let go

    Her crush has become an addiction, one that’s just as powerful as her favorite sweet. She’s completely hooked.

    The Real Story in This NGT48 Song

    So, what’s really going on? This song cleverly uses chocolate as a metaphor for the thrilling, overwhelming, and totally addictive feeling of new love. The sleepless nights and the racing heart aren’t just from a sugar rush. They’re from the emotional rush of having a major crush on someone. It’s about how love can feel like a forbidden treat that you just can’t get enough of.

    The Sweet Message Behind the Lyrics

    Beyond the cute story, there’s a really sweet message here. The song celebrates that giddy, head-over-heels feeling. It tells us that it’s okay to indulge in the things and people that bring you joy, even if they make you feel a little crazy. Love, like chocolate, is a source of excitement and happiness. It’s not a flaw to feel this intensely; it’s a wonderful, vibrant part of life that’s meant to be enjoyed.

    That’s my take on this super fun song! It perfectly captures that buzzing, can’t-sleep energy of a new crush. What do you think? Does the chocolate metaphor work for you, or do you see a different story in the lyrics? Let me know your thoughts!

    NGT48 – Chocolate de nemurenai [English translation]


    I can’t sleep anymore because of chocolate (I can’t sleep!)
    The caffeine is just too strong (too strong!)
    I’ve had my eyes closed for an hour,
    But I’m wide awake!
    I can’t sleep anymore because of chocolate (I can’t sleep!)
    My heart is still thumping-thumping (thumping-thumping!)
    Your image keeps flickering in my mind…
    It’s all your fault!
    I want to see you even in my dreams…

    The things I really love
    Have become two!
    Sweet chocolate and
    You, who’s a little bit bitter.
    I can’t choose just one, can I?
    Since I love both,
    I want them both!

    I need to take care of my skin, too,
    And of course, I’m on a diet.
    All that guilt…
    But even so (even so!),
    What should I do? (What should I do?)
    It’s like withdrawal symptoms!

    I just can’t resist chocolate (can’t resist!),
    Before I know it, I’m addicted (addicted!).
    If I don’t eat it even for a day,
    I just don’t feel right.
    I just can’t resist chocolate (can’t resist!),
    It’s that much of a favorite (a favorite!).
    Yes, just as much as you,
    I can’t let it go!
    Please don’t scold me for being like this!

    “At least before bed,
    You should hold back,”
    My mom says, but
    I just can’t listen to her.
    I put it away in my desk,
    Deciding, “I’ll stop today!”
    But then, before I know it,
    I’ve eaten it!

    I brushed my teeth properly,
    And snuggled into bed,
    Trying to sleep, but…
    My eyelids (my eyelids)
    Aren’t getting heavy
    At all (at all)!

    It’s not chocolate’s fault, you know (it’s not!),
    It’s because I’m in love (I’m in love!).
    Every time I think of you,
    My eyes just pop open!
    It’s not chocolate’s fault, you know (it’s not!),
    I get so excited and sparkly (sparkly!).
    It’s so not normal,
    I almost get a nosebleed!
    So, please, just one piece (one piece)…

    Both chocolate and, yes, you too,
    I will absolutely never give them up!
    They’re mine!

    I can’t sleep anymore because of chocolate (I can’t sleep!)
    The caffeine is just too strong (too strong!)
    I’ve had my eyes closed for an hour,
    But I’m wide awake!
    I can’t sleep anymore because of chocolate (I can’t sleep!)
    My heart is still thumping-thumping (thumping-thumping!)
    Your image keeps flickering in my mind…
    It’s all your fault!
    I want to see you even in my dreams…
