The Magnificent CounterattackSMAP

A 2015 hit song by the national group SMAP.
In 2016, controversies such as their breakup scandal stirred up turmoil, but could this song, sung before the scandal, have contained their very own ‘Splendid Counterattack’? It’s enough to make your heart race.
Cha-Cha-Cha ChampionSexy Zone

A popular song by the five-member junior Johnny’s unit, Sexy Zone.
It was also the theme song for the FIVB Volleyball World Cup 2015.
The previous year saw many activities centered on three members, but with this song they returned to a five-member formation, raising expectations for even greater success!
I messed up!!busai-ku

A spin-off by four members of Kis-My-Ft2, Busaiku’s hit song.
With catchy lyrics like “My butt—Ai!” and “I messed up!” it’s a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
The lyrics exude the sorrows of the salaryman, making you feel genuine sympathy for the members!?
We won’t fightAKB48

AKB48’s 40th major single was released in May 2015.
Haruka Shimazaki served as the center for this song and also played the protagonist in the music video.
The PV opens abruptly with a battle scene, depicting both the world we live in now and the world of conflict unfolding outside it.
Amid the harsh realities, anguish, and inner turmoil, the story ends with a vow not to fight and a determination to reclaim love.
It’s a thought-provoking song that calls for an end to conflict.
