Iconic Johnny’s songs from the 2000s: Nostalgic hits that bring back memories (51–60)
LyricTOKIO
TOKIO’s 46th single, written and composed by Tomoya Nagase, was released in February 2013 as the theme song for the NTV drama “Don’t Cry, Hara-chan.” Despite its simplicity, the melody is deeply moving, and the lyrics, which depict the beauty found in everyday life, are particularly striking.
This work also marked a turning point for TOKIO in their music-making.
Until then, they had often received songs from external writers, but this track prompted them to become more actively involved in creating their own music.
The lyrics, which convey feelings for a loved one and a wish to meet again, express a poignant yet warm emotion, making it a song that resonates with many people.
Korosensei-tionssensēshonzu
This song brilliantly captures the world of the film Assassination Classroom.
Performed by Sensations, a unit formed by members of Hey! Say! JUMP, it features an energetic sound that fuses rock and pop.
The lyrics incorporate themes of “assassination” and “battle” in line with the movie’s story, letting you fully immerse yourself in the Assassination Classroom universe.
Released in March 2015 as a DVD single, it also includes a video clip and making-of footage.
Generating major buzz alongside the film, the release achieved a high ranking on the Oricon charts.
It’s a must-listen not only for fans of Assassination Classroom, but also for anyone who enjoys high-energy tracks.
LovelessYamashita Tomohisa
“Loveless” is the second solo single by Tomohisa Yamashita, who was a member of NEWS at the time.
Released ahead of his solo concerts in November 2009, it’s a mature dance number that sings of a heartrending love.
At Yamashita’s own request, the music video for the song was filmed in New York.
bondKamenashi Kazuya
Kizuna is a solo number by Kazuya Kamenashi of KAT-TUN.
It was the first song for which he wrote the lyrics himself, and he reportedly received advice from company president Johnny Kitagawa during the process.
The song was included as the coupling track to Shuji to Akira’s Seishun Amigo, his unit with Tomohisa Yamashita.
It was also used as an insert song in the second season of the drama Gokusen, in which Kamenashi himself appeared.
In our townKAT-TUN
“Bokura no Machi de” is KAT-TUN’s third single.
Before the song was released, member Jin Akanishi had gone abroad to study, so it became their first single as a five-member group.
It was the theme song for “Tatta Hitotsu no Koi,” and its bittersweet melody and lyrics made it an unusual track for KAT-TUN at the time.
