To a world yet unseenarashi
An ambitious electronic dance-pop work included as the lead track on the 2011 album “Beautiful World.” Created as a message of hope and renewal for Japan after the Great East Japan Earthquake, it also marked the first music video for an album track in about eight years.
Its powerful beats and synthesizers weave a near-futuristic soundscape that resonates deeply with lyrics about pushing forward while facing hardship.
When you need courage to dive into a new environment, this song will give you a reassuring push.
Wonderful Worldarashi
This is the lead track from the album “One,” depicting everyday melancholy and hope.
Released on August 3, 2005, it was also beloved as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s variety show “Mago Mago Arashi.” Satoshi Ohno and Sho Sakurai contributed to the lyrics, vividly conveying the feelings of being on a packed commuter train and the struggles of urban life.
Yet the song’s words also sing of the strength to never lose sight of hope for tomorrow, resonating with many working people.
Despite never being released as a single, this hidden gem continues to be cherished, making it perfect for times when you feel worn out or want to make a fresh start.
SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!KinKi Kids
A KinKi Kids song that beautifully captures the wistfulness of winter and the feeling of love.
Lyricist Yasushi Akimoto, who worked on this track released in December 2005, delicately portrays scenes between a man and a woman through the motif of snow, skillfully weaving their subtle emotions.
Like snow that quietly piles up, the song’s calm yet deeply moving melody and KinKi Kids’ pure vocals are captivating.
In its first week, it sold 230,000 copies on the Oricon weekly chart, achieving the remarkable feat of taking the top spot for the 22nd consecutive time since their debut.
It’s a warm-hearted song that makes you want to think of someone special on a winter night as you sit together by the window.
Daylightarashi
Arashi’s 49th single, written as the theme song for the TBS drama “99.9 – Criminal Lawyer -.” It’s a powerful message song centered on the themes of “hope” and “the path one should take,” and is included on the double A-side single “I seek / Daylight,” released in May 2016.
Sho Sakurai’s rap part is particularly striking, and the return of rap on a single’s title track for the first time in four years delighted many fans.
It’s a song that will lift your spirits when you want to push toward your goals or when you feel close to breaking.
Endless skyarashi
Featuring a band sound interwoven with wistful piano and gentle strings, this song was released as a single by Arashi in November 2010 as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Freeter, Ie o Kau” (Freeter, Buying a House).
Like the protagonist who keeps moving forward despite repeated setbacks, it serves as an anthem for those facing hardships.
It debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and its first-week sales of 572,000 copies set a new personal best at the time.
Performed at the 2011 NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, this track resonates with anyone striving toward their dreams and goals.
