"Idol Nanka Janakattara" (Japanese: アイドルなんかじゃなかったら, Hepburn: Idol Nanka Janakattara) is Japanese idol group AKB48's 62nd single, released on September 27, 2023, by Universal Music Japan. Upon release, it topped the weekly Oricon chart and ranked fourth on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. Yui Oguri served as the lead singer and choreographic center for the single.

Background and release

On July 28, 2023, the selected members were announced during a live broadcast on AKB48's official YouTube channel. Sixteen members were selected; Eriko Hashimoto was selected for the first time.[1] Miu Shitao was selected for the first time in a year since "Hisashiburi no Lip Gloss". Yui Oguri served as the center for the second time, ten releases after "Teacher Teacher".[2] Hitomi Honda announced her graduation on August 30, making "Idol Nanka Janakattara" her last single with the group.[3] This is the final single to feature the teams A, K, B, and 4 before they disbanded in October.

Team S, who also choreographed "Dōshitemo Kimi ga Suki da", were in charge of choreography for the single.[2]

The single was released in seven formats: Type A, Type B, Type C, first limited edition, regular edition, and Official Shop edition.[4]
