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.

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.
