This is the 35th single by SMAP, a five-member idol group that continues to attract calls for a reunion even after disbanding, with ongoing attention on each member’s activities.

Ryōma-denSatō Naoki

Ryomaden

The overwhelming sound arrangement, like a wall of sound closing in, is incredibly cool! It’s the theme song of the historical drama “Ryomaden,” which also made waves because singer-songwriter Masaharu Fukuyama starred in it.

Just from the musical style, you can imagine a grand, large-scale story about to unfold.

It would work well as the finale of a group gymnastics routine, but it might also be a great choice for the opening number to instantly captivate the audience.

Be sure to deliver a powerful performance that won’t be outdone by the music!

Maksim Mrvica – Wonderland

Here is a dynamic piece woven from piano, orchestra, and beat rhythms by Maksim Mrvica, the Croatian pianist known as the “Prince of the Keyboard.” The crossover with classical music is really cool.

Since it was used as the theme song for the Figure Skating Grand Prix Series, many of you have probably heard it.

Doing group gymnastics to this track would feel fresh compared to past routines and could inspire a different style of performance.

Joe Hisaishi – Oriental Wind

Compositions by Joe Hisaishi, the composer who has colored numerous Studio Ghibli works with his music, beginning with the Ghibli film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

This piece, featuring piano and strings, has a traditional atmosphere—many of you may recognize it as the song used in Suntory’s Iyemon commercial.

Its grand ensemble, unfolding with a classical arrangement that conveys both stillness and motion, beautifully highlights each individual movement in group gymnastics.

It’s a BGM that enhances the artistry of group gymnastics, creating a unique world through a modern expression distinct from the good old classical music.
