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.

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.
