A collaboration track with the Japanese band back number included on the best-of album “BTS, THE BEST.” When it was announced, it felt like a total surprise.

Known for their love songs and heart-wrenchingly bittersweet lyrics, back number created this special track at BTS’s request.

While BTS often has a strong ballad image in their Japanese songs, the world they express here—showcasing their unique, fragile beauty—is breathtaking.

Their vocals just draw you in…

I think it’s a song that will support you when days don’t go well or when you feel a sense of loss.

A song included on the 2020 album “MAP OF THE SOUL: 7.” It’s the concluding track of the series that connects to “We are Bulletproof pt.1,” produced during their trainee days, and “We are Bulletproof pt.2” from their debut album “2 COOL 4 SKOOL.” The lyrics, which reveal a fragile state of mind on the verge of breaking, the battles they face each day, and glimpses of their love for one another, make me envision their struggles, conflicts, and the unseen parts of their journey—am I the only one? And then there’s their meteoric rise on the global stage.

The music video, created with the concept of a BTS timeline, is moving and really hits home.

This is a song filled with love for ARMY and BTS’s resolve; the power woven by the bond of the seven members has stirred excitement in so many people that it makes my heart swell.

Answer : Love MyselfBTS

2018年の三部作完結アルバム『LOVE YOURSELF 結 ‘Answer’』に収録されたミディアムテンポの楽曲。

As the series’ answer song, it delivers a message of self-love that resonates and supports you when you’re unsure of the path ahead.

The line that sings, “Even my failures and regrets are part of who I am; even those are an indispensable sparkle in life,” is especially uplifting.

Though BTS are global superstars, the song feels filled with an authentic portrayal and resolve of what it means to be a person.

It’s a beautiful song featuring delicate expressiveness—led by Jimin—and soaring high-tone vocals.

This song was released as a single in Japanese from the 2015 Korean album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt.

The album’s theme centers on the precariousness and vibrancy of youth, and this track also portrays a youthful moment that feels risky precisely because of a boy’s straightforwardness.

While the music videos differ greatly between the Japanese and Korean versions, the Japanese version lets you fully enjoy the choreography.
