Kazunari Ninomiya’s solo song.

It is included on the album “Boku no Miteiru Fuukei.” All the lyrics were written by Ninomiya, and the reading is “Tokubetsu.” When you type the title on a cell phone, it becomes “Arigatou” (“Thank you”).

The lyrics were written to a beloved person, but some speculate they were written for his parents or for the members.

This is Matsumoto’s solo track included on the album THE DIGITALIAN.

It’s an intense, dance-style love song that lets you fully enjoy Matsumoto’s cool-and-cute charm.

It also became a topic of conversation because the rival company in Ohno’s starring drama, Seisei Suru Hodo, Aishiteru (The World’s Most Difficult Love), was named Stay Gold Hotel, which many thought was a nod to this song.

It’s a track from the album “Iza, Now.” It was performed as Aiba’s solo during the live tour, and the lyrics fit him so perfectly that many people think the song might have been written about Aiba.

Because of that, it’s often popular among Aiba’s fans.

Sho Sakurai’s solo song.

It’s included on the album “Boku no Miteiru Fūkei” (The Scenery I’m Looking At).

The lyrics were written by Sakurai himself, and the track features his signature rap style, known as “Sakurap.” The lyrics are as erotic as Ninomiya’s “Gimmick Game,” and the gap between Sakurai’s usual honor-student image and the provocative song is enough to make even non-fans’ hearts race.

Winter daysarashi

Riding on a lively groove that turns the cold winter red-hot, this song celebrates the sweet moments shared by lovers.

Featured on the November 2017 single “Doors: Yūki no Kiseki,” it’s characterized by a funky vibe enriched with a horn section and lush strings.

The highlight is the harmony woven from each member’s unique personality, and its smooth, gentle tone suits ski resorts and winter scenery alike.

It portrays a couple escaping the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy their own world on a winter night illuminated by lights, making it a perfect track for a winter date with someone special.

It has a fresh and fun vibe.
