FIREWORKSNEWS
Overcoming countless hardships, NEWS celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023.
Their 2024 album JAPANEWS sparked major buzz with its concept of traveling across Japan through music.
One of the songs that colors that story is FIREWORKS, which we’re introducing today.
The fireworks depicted in this track are not merely a beautiful summer night spectacle.
Rather, the way they burn out in an instant is layered with human, scorching passion—and the poignant afterglow that follows—an unmistakably NEWS-style dramatic expression.
The emotional melody crafted by Tomimi further enhances the song’s fragile, ephemeral worldview.
Strawberry-Colored Summer Fireworks Special Arrange Ver. 2024sutopuri
This track is a rearrangement of one of Stray Kids’—sorry—Strawberry Prince’s (SutoPuri’s) popular summer songs, newly reworked by member Root himself.
In the original, the fleeting fireworks blossoming and fading in the night sky mirrored the tender, bittersweet thrill of a love just beginning.
In this new version, within the same scene of gazing up at fireworks, the song has transformed into a far more mature piece that conveys the tangible time and bonds they’ve shared while walking together.
The shift in arrangement seems to overlap with SutoPuri’s own story of growth, making it a truly moving song.

The wistful tone of the electric piano and Koki’s crystal-clear vocals set the heart ablaze—what a wonderful medium-tempo ballad! “Saigo no Hanabi,” released in 2024 by the guitar-less three-piece band Kokorashika, born from a high school light music club, is a milestone track that marked the beginning of their brilliant career.
The worldview that overlays the fleeting glow of fireworks blooming and vanishing in the night sky with time that can never return and the couple’s frustrating relationship is deeply emotional and irresistibly immersive.
Within Hiroaki Yokoyama’s dramatic arrangement, the piano’s beautiful melody shines especially bright.
If you try performing this song with just piano and vocals, the beauty of the melody might stand out even more.
