Andalusian Dreams is a track included on Masahiko Kondo’s 2006 tribute album MATCHY TRIBUTE.

The “Andalusia Unit” that performs this song was a group formed by Noriyuki Higashiyama of Shonentai, Koichi Domoto of KinKi Kids, Tsubasa Imai of Tackey & Tsubasa, and Akira Akasaka of Hikaru GENJI.

The song was originally a solo number by Masatoshi Mashima, guitarist of THE BLUE HEARTS.

Masahiko Kondo later released his own version as well.

Even now, some members of the Andalusia Unit and other Johnny’s artists perform it at events such as countdown live shows.

Sorry, JulietYamashita Tomohisa

“Gomen ne Juliet” is a solo number by Tomohisa Yamashita from his time in NEWS.

It is included on NEWS’s 2007 album “pacific.” Yamashita himself wrote the lyrics and composed the music.

It’s a sad love song modeled after Romeo and Juliet.

Fans were reportedly surprised by this song—despite his handsome looks that make it seem like he’d never have trouble with women, he wrote such a dark love song!

DarlingV6

V6 / Darling(YouTube Ver.)
DarlingV6

V6 is a six-member group that debuted in 1995.

Watching their variety show appearances and interviews warms the heart with their steady, well-balanced banter among the six.

Of course, they also entertain audiences with their music.

Darling, which was used as the theme song for the drama “You’re My Pet,” has a catchy chorus that makes you want to hum along without thinking.

The tempo has a calm feel that doesn’t come across as intense.

It’s a number that fits perfectly with the six-member vibe—something that only V6 can truly pull off.

Chance to ChangeHey! Say! JUMP

“Chance to Change” is Hey! Say! JUMP’s second single.

It was selected as the image song for the Volleyball World Final Qualifier.

The track brims with the early Hey! Say! JUMP vibe—youthful, refreshing, and full of debut-era freshness.

A group formed by Wataru Yokoo, Toshiya Miyata, Takashi Nikaido, and Kento Senga of Kis-My-Ft2.

The producer is Masahiro Nakai of SMAP, who also came up with the group’s name.

However, he had no involvement at all with this song, “Michishirube.” For this track, the four members of Busaiku did a 10-day training camp, handling everything from writing lyrics and composing to designing the jacket and planning the music video.

It’s Busaiku’s first ballad, expressing gratitude and love for someone special.
