"Nakasete Kure yo" (泣かせてくれよ) is the debut single by J-pop group Yoshimotozaka46. The single was released on 26 December 2018, three months after the group's roster was finalized.^[1] The song is written in a Kansai dialect and features Tsukasa Saito and Haruna Ogawa, both owarai comedians, in the center position.^[2]

Release

The single was released in two versions, a DVD edition and a regular edition. The DVD edition includes a separate DVD with the music videos of "Nakasete Kure yo" and "Kimi no Kuchibiru o Hanasanai". Each regular edition had a different member of Yoshimotozaka46 printed on the cover. A contest, held to determine which member's version would sell the most copies, was won by Haruna Ogawa.^[3]^[4]
