rainbowNinomiya Kazunari

Niji / Kazunari Ninomiya (cover)

A solo song by Kazunari Ninomiya included on the limited first edition of Arashi’s 2007 album “Time.” He wrote the lyrics himself.

Unlike the other members, he often expresses the music directly—performing it live as a piano-and-vocal piece and even composing other solo tracks.

This gentle ballad perfectly matches his image and has been highly praised among fans.

Friendship

This track features a gentle tone layered over a four-on-the-floor beat that perfectly suits Masaki Aiba’s character.

Galaxy in the Eyesarashi

Galaxy in My Eyes (Arashi) by Kazumichi Fujita

It’s their 13th single and a double A-side with “Hero.” It became well-known because Fumiya Fujii wrote and composed it, and because it was the theme song for “Chūnan-kun no Koibito,” starring Ninomiya.

The song has a style typical of Fumiya Fujii, close to a slow ballad, and is a love song imbued with the desire to “protect her forever.”

PIKA☆NCHIarashi

ARASHI – PIKA☆NCHI [Official Music Video]

In a complete departure from Arashi’s usual image, this is a rare track that kicks off with a hip-hop vibe featuring Ninomiya on electric guitar and Ohno’s raspy-voiced rap.

Arashi really can do anything—amazing, isn’t it? And yes, Ninomiya is really playing the guitar.

The guitar riff is super cool, so if you play guitar, you’ll probably feel like copying it.

This could be a great chance to start playing guitar, too!

Kanpai Songarashi

Kampai Song

A rousing party tune from Arashi that kicks off with the shout, “Kanpai!” It was included as a bonus track on the regular edition of the album “untitled,” released in October 2017.

The lyrics are styled like dialogue, as if capturing a toast scene verbatim, packed with drink-order banter and lively interjections.

A brass band-style, festive arrangement heightens the celebratory mood.

At live shows, the call-and-response with fans unified the venue, wrapping it in the electrifying atmosphere of an after-party.

It’s also perfect for karaoke with multiple people trading lines, ideal for warming up any get-together.

A recommended track for scenes where everyone wants to have a blast—like welcome/farewell parties and year-end gatherings.
