Imitation RainSixTONES
SixTONES’ debut song, marking their official debut in 2020.
They’re a new-generation Johnny’s idol group that had been active since 2015.
What’s refreshing isn’t just their years of activity—their music also incorporates distinctly modern sounds.
They’re a group to keep an eye on.
NYCNYCboys
NYCboys was a limited-time unit formed by Nakayama Yuma w/B.I.Shadow, Ryosuke Yamada, and Yuri Chinen.
“NYC” is included on the single “Akuma na Koi/NYC,” and it served as the image song for Fuji TV’s coverage of the Women’s Volleyball World Grand Prix 2009.
Headlong MarchKanjani∞
Formed in 2002, Kanjani Eight (Kanjani∞) is the second group from the Kansai region within Johnny’s, following KinKi Kids.
Their song “Gamushara Koshinkyoku” was used as the theme song for the TV drama Hell Teacher Nūbē, starring member Ryuhei Maruyama.
It’s an upbeat, quintessentially Kanjani∞ track that captures Kansai’s lively vibe and humor-filled banter.
A recommended song to listen to when you need a boost of energy.
Sora-buneTOKIO
Starting as their predecessor “TOKIO BAND” in 1989, TOKIO is a group that, even within Johnny’s, continues to take on various challenges in a band style—such as farming and fishing.
This is their hit song “Sora Fune” (“Ship in the Sky”).
It also drew attention for being written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima.
A masterpiece whose powerful resolve to face the rough seas perfectly matches TOKIO’s image.
SEXY ZONESexy Zone
Sexy Zone’s debut single “SEXY ZONE,” released in 2011, was used as the image song for Fuji TV’s broadcast of the FIVB Volleyball World Cup 2011.
Their performance singing with rose-adorned microphones left a strong impression.
At the time of their debut, all members were in their teens—from elementary to high school students—and the song was regarded as a spirited cheer anthem brimming with the power of youth.

Just hearing the intro gets you pumped.

It’s comfortable and lets you fully enjoy the sparkling charm of idols.
