Cool hit songs of Johnny’s (11–20)
jealousNEW!Nakajima Kento
This song was released early on December 2, 2024, and is included on Kento Nakajima’s album “N / bias.” It’s crafted as a pop tune featuring a modern, breezy sound infused with New Jack Swing elements.
The lyrics portray a yearning love and jealousy so intense it even envies the moon in the night sky.
Kento Nakajima himself took part in writing the lyrics, which are said to layer not only the image of lovers longing for each other across a distance, but also the emotional bond with fans and the poignancy of the time spent apart.
With a melodious, sweet vocal riding a light, groovy beat, it’s a perfect track for anyone who wants to brighten and enrich the feeling of thinking about someone in everyday life.
Be sure to enjoy it alongside the liberating dance scenes in the music video.
BANG!!NEW!Snow Man
Included on Snow Man’s 13th single, to be released in April 2026, as one of the title tracks of the group’s first-ever triple A-side single.
It has been selected as the theme song for the live-action film “SAKAMOTO DAYS,” starring Ren Meguro.
Its message—portraying the resolve to push through difficult circumstances fueled by love and impulse—will surely give listeners a powerful push forward.
Blending band-driven sounds with sharp digital beats, it’s a high-energy uptempo track.
Ultramarine RunawayHey! Say! JUMP
This is a song by Hey! Say! JUMP distinguished by a tense, urgent atmosphere and an eerie, unsettling sound, as if something is in pursuit.
Composed by Kuu, who is also a member of the rock band NEE, it was selected as the theme song for the drama “Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki’s Inference,” in which group member Kei Inoo appeared.
Since the drama is a mystery centered on strange phenomena, the song’s sound and lyrics convey a sense of disquiet and instability—an intentional lack of cohesion that seems to express something ominous and unknowable.
trutharashi
Among Arashi’s many high-quality songs that underpinned their widespread appeal, the standout that’s exceptionally cool is “truth.” It’s a single released in 2008.
Many people may also know it as the theme song for the drama “Maou,” which marked leader Satoshi Ohno’s first starring role in a series.
The minor-key sound—evoking a pounding heartbeat and constant inner conflict—leaves a strong impression.
The grandeur brought in by the strings and the expressive performance by all the members with Ohno at center are irresistibly cool.
While it stays close to an unending pain, it also strikes you with powerful strength.
Their epic live performances are a must-see!
one secondNEW!SixTONES
This is a track by SixTONES selected as the Nippon TV network’s “2026 Athlete Support Song” for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, which kick off in February 2026.
The title, symbolizing the sense of time in competitive sports and the day-by-day buildup that leads to results, really leaves an impression.
It’s packed with the living, breathing warmth of the sports arena—from the resolve to compete to the feelings toward one’s teammates.
It’s an emotional, up-tempo anthem we want everyone striving toward their dreams to hear.
2 Facednaniwa danshi
Naniwa Danshi made their CD debut in 2021 with “Ubu LOVE.” This song is a popular track that was released before their CD debut.
A notable feature is that member Kazuya Ohashi handled the choreography and Kento Nagao handled the costumes.
The song progresses with a beat-driven, cool vibe, and the vocals—layered over it—leave an impression as if expressing a deep, inner passion.
Another cool highlight is the sexy touch added by the whistling sounds that ring out in various parts of the track.

Everybody GoKis-my-ft2
This is the debut single by Kis-My-Ft2, released in 2011.
Their debut performance using roller skates, a tradition passed down from Hikaru Genji, was also memorable.
The song was used as the theme for the drama “You’re Beautiful,” starring members Yuta Tamamori and Taisuke Fujigaya.
With a fresh sound that suits roller skates and passionate lyrics that encourage self-improvement, it evokes images of sports and similar activities.
