This is an original Japanese song released in the winter of 2017, dedicated to Japanese fans.

The snow shines brilliantly and beautifully, yet it fades away so fleetingly.

It’s a romantic ballad that overlays such snow with the image of a beloved woman.

The expression of someone so precious they give you the courage to live is heart-achingly touching.

This song is the second installment of the soundtrack for the online game “BTS WORLD,” in which you become BTS’s manager and support the members.

It features V and J-Hope, with Swedish pop star Zara Larsson as a guest.

The tones of traditional East Asian instruments sprinkled throughout the track add a distinctive accent, conveying the identity of Asian artists.

ONBTS

The title track from the 2020 album “MAP OF THE SOUL : 7.” Its majestic, artful sound featuring organ blends perfectly with a catchy chorus, giving it a crisp, tight feel.

It also gives the impression that Taehyung stands out more than usual.

A powerful number packed with a message of moving forward.

The cinematic Kinetic Manifesto Film-style MV might even carry a kind of wish or hope directed toward the world.

Take TwoBTS

Take TwoBTS

A fan song BTS released in June 2023 to celebrate their 10th debut anniversary.

The title means “Chapter 2.” As they sing about their gratitude and journey together so far, you’re drawn into a message that thrills for the days to come.

Its warm, relaxing mood is uplifting, too.

The pastel-colored outfits and performance in the Live Clip are wonderful, overflowing with the charm of each uniquely colorful member.

In the middle, Suga’s part has lyrics that are just too beautiful—be sure to pay special attention to that section! BTS singing of unchanging youth, love, and hope for the future—simply the best.

Best Of MeBTS

Best Of MeBTS

A song about love for someone special, included on the 2017 mini-album LOVE YOURSELF 承 ‘Her.’ Created in collaboration with world-renowned DJs The Chainsmokers, its dazzling EDM sound blends perfectly with the theme of love.

It’s danceable club music, yet the lyrics are catchy and easy to get into.

If your fave told you, “You’re the best,” you’d be completely disarmed.

The call-and-response that clicks with the audience is irresistible, too.

Stay GoldBTS

A Japanese original song from 2020 that was listened to not only in Japan but around the world.

It portrays the feeling of being drawn to someone you love, and its dreamy atmosphere is so comforting.

It’s a medium-tempo number with a simple arrangement, and it’s irresistible how the members’ vocals, each with their own unique color, really stand out.

Among BTS’s songs, which often carry various messages, this is a beautiful track that simply sings about love.

It’s incredibly emotional with a sound that makes you want to hit repeat.

Their performance on CDTV Live! Live! was breathtakingly beautiful.

Airplane pt.2BTS

Airplane pt.2BTS

A track included on the 2018 album LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’.

It serves as a sequel that carries on the world of “Airplane” from member and rapper J-Hope’s solo mixtape Hope World.

Its urban vibe, infused with oriental elements and a Latin mood, is truly compelling.

The balance between hip-hop flavors and pop sensibilities is exquisite.

It may also reflect BTS’s determination to “deliver their music to the world.” A must-listen especially for those who love songs with a touch of exoticism!

Boy With Luv (Japanese ver.)BTS

The opening is crucial in “Boy With Luv (Japanese ver.).” This time it’s the Japanese version, but it still has a lot of English lyrics and carries an emotional vibe comparable to the Korean version.

That said, I think the Japanese version is easier to sing.

Since each member’s melody line is clearly divided, it’s good to practice by going over each individual melody carefully.

If your opening wavers, you’ll lose the pitch, so make sure to come in clearly.

Prepare your voice during the intro and hit the A4 solidly—if you do, you should be able to continue singing comfortably afterward.

RUNBTS

BTS (Bangtan Boys) ‘RUN -Japanese Ver.-‘ Official MV
RUNBTS

This is a track from the mini-album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt.2, released in South Korea in 2015, which was later issued as a single in its Japanese version.

It’s a song that, despite facing anxiety, impatience, and hardships of all kinds, chooses to trust the straightforward feeling of “you’re the only one” and keep running forward.

Rather than giving up by dwelling on one bad thought after another, it gives you the strength to move ahead.

DangerBTS

DangerBTS

A track included on the 2014 album DARK&WILD.

From the very start, RM’s aggressive rap gives you chills! With a bass-heavy beat, it exudes a hip-hop-driven cool that’s different from their style now.

It depicts a man and woman who can’t see eye to eye, with the line, “You’re dangerous—you drive me crazy.” The bold stance and razor-sharp, rough edge somehow still feel refined, which seems connected to today’s BTS as well.

Whatever they do, BTS is just cool.
