Cool classic songs from Johnny’s (41–50)
JUST DANCE!Travis Japan
Travis Japan’s world debut track overflows with the joy and energy of dance.
Sung entirely in English, this exhilarating dance tune celebrates free expression and a sense of liberation.
With the fierce fighting spirit and passion of a tiger, their drive to reach new heights is powerfully portrayed, moving hearts across borders.
Released in October 2022, the music video racked up 10.27 million views in its first week and has earned support from fans around the world.
It’s the ultimate party song that will light up any karaoke room! A refreshing dance number, perfect for get‑togethers with friends or a quick mood boost.
Missingnaniwa danshi
The song “Missing,” used as the theme for the TV drama Knocking on a Locked Door starring member Daigo Nishihata.
For Naniwa Danshi, it’s unusually cool and stylish in its production.
While the piece has a strong jazz flavor, the vocal line itself leans toward J-pop with a slightly kayōkyoku feel, so it’s not overly difficult.
However, a falsetto appears toward the end of the chorus, so take care there.
Since it’s a relatively low falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key and try singing it with mixed voice.
Please use this as a reference.
MADE IN JAPANV6
A dance number marked by adrenaline-pumping Eurobeat where synthesizers and guitars fiercely intertwine.
Carrying the momentum of their debut, this track channels the boundless energy of Japanese youth.
Released in February 1996, it reached a wide audience as the image song for Fuji TV’s 27th Spring High School Volleyball tournament.
It debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart and became a hit, selling around 459,000 copies.
Another draw is its structure, where Masayuki Sakamoto’s cool rap shines amid the passionate sound.
It’s the kind of song that seems to unleash limitless power when you’re charging toward a big goal or need to fire yourself up.
AMBITIOUS JAPAN!TOKIO
It’s one of TOKIO’s signature songs, with an exhilarating, energetic sound that’s irresistibly appealing.
Featuring lyrics by Rei Nakanishi and music by the maestro Kyohei Tsutsumi, this piece has a magnificent sense of scale that feels like it’s cheering on the future of Japan as a whole.
Released as a single in October 2003, it was later included on the album ACT II.
It also served for many years as a JR Central campaign song and as the Shinkansen onboard chime, so many people may remember it along with their travel memories.
It’s a track that fills you with the courage to take on new challenges, as if giving you a powerful push forward.

Leveraging the strength of all being from the Kansai region, Naniwa Danshi continues to captivate audiences with performances brimming with Kansai-specific charm.
They made their CD debut in November 2021, and many of their subsequent releases have ranked high on the Oricon charts.
The group has built a sparkling track record, including winning Best 5 New Artists at the 36th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
Every member is also skilled in acting, thriving across a wide range of fields such as TV dramas, films, and stage productions.
In April 2024, they formed the limited-time unit KAMIGATA BOYZ together with other Johnny’s groups from Kansai, further accelerating their momentum.
They’re highly recommended for those drawn to the blend of friendly Kansai dialect and polished performance.
halfmoonKing&Prince
A love song from King & Prince that weaves together heartache and passion.
It’s a gem of a ballad that beautifully expresses the longing between two people who struggle with the distance between them yet are drawn powerfully to one another.
The clear, transparent vocals of Ren Nagase and Kaito Takahashi add a striking touch to the story.
Produced by Takeshi Kobayashi and released in May 2024, the track was chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Tokyo Tower.” It’s a warm, comforting song that speaks to those who carry feelings of love but find it hard to be honest about them.
unfinishedKanjani∞
Kanjani Eight is a boys’ idol group from Osaka, and they’re also a rock band.
Their 2023 release, “Mikansei” (Unfinished), is a fast-paced punk rock track.
It carries the message that “precisely because we’re unfinished, we can become someone’s hero,” and its upbeat vibe and lyrics are truly uplifting.
With its bright tone that makes you want to head out for a walk, it’s especially recommended as a spring song!
