Johnny’s masterpieces since the 2000s: nostalgic hit songs that bring back memories (1–10)
A Lump of LoveKinKi Kids
Composed by Tsuyoshi Domoto with lyrics by Koichi Domoto, this song is celebrated among fans as a classic.
Although widely praised, it was originally released as a coupling track on a single.
It is also well-known among the fans of their juniors, as many junior artists have covered it as a renowned song.
rainbowNinomiya Kazunari
This is a solo song by Kazunari Ninomiya of Arashi.
The lyrics were written by Ninomiya himself, and the slightly realistic, heartrending lines from a woman’s perspective are very popular.
At concerts, Ninomiya actually plays the piano while singing.
His look with glasses while performing is particularly memorable, isn’t it?
One Lovearashi
One Love was released as Arashi’s 22nd single and was chosen as the theme song for the film Hana Yori Dango F (Final), which starred group member Jun Matsumoto.
The song is about a man who is getting married expressing his feelings for his partner.
The promotional video is Arashi’s first to be fully computer-generated (full CG).
Cinderella GirlKing&Prince
The debut single of King & Prince, a six-member group formed in 2015.
From their formation, they’ve drawn attention under the nickname “Kinpuri.” Their debut single, Cinderella Girl, expresses in its lyrics the feelings of loving a woman as a prince—just like their group’s name suggests.
For fans, a debut single is the group’s starting point and a song filled with memories.
The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP
SMAP, which sadly disbanded in 2016, had a commanding presence that led the entertainment world, shining dazzlingly bright.
Among their many classic songs, the one I’m introducing this time is “The Only Flower in the World.” Released as a single in 2003, it became a huge hit on the music charts.
It’s a song befitting national superstars.
The lyrics gently reach out to listeners’ hearts, which is wonderful.
It’s a masterpiece that makes you realize important things you don’t usually notice—one we want to keep singing for generations.
CRYSTAL MOMENTNEW!KAT-TUN
A KAT-TUN track that electrified the icy battlegrounds of winter 2022.
Chosen as the theme song for Nippon TV’s “2022 Winter Sports,” the piece drew major attention for Sho Sakurai of Arashi, who conceived the title and wrote the rap lyrics.
Fusing words that capture the athletes’ flashes of brilliance with a grand, stadium-filling sound, it powerfully stirs the listener’s heart.
It was also included on the album “Honey,” released in March of the same year, becoming a cherished song for fans.
Listen to it before a make-or-break moment, and it will sharpen your focus and lift your spirits.
It’s an anthem that cheers on not only sports moments but anyone taking on a challenge—be sure to give it a listen!
EUPHORIANEW!KAT-TUN
An aggressive dance number with a cool, exhilarating beat that conveys a strong determination toward the future.
Included on KAT-TUN’s double A-side single released in September 2021, this track carries the power befitting a milestone marking their 15th anniversary.
Chosen as the theme song for TV Asahi’s OshiDora Saturday drama “The High School Heroes,” starring Bishonen, it expresses heroic spirit and bonds with friends that align with the drama’s world.
With a sound themed around timeless connections and a soaring sense of uplift, it’s sure to give listeners a powerful push forward.
When you’re about to take on a challenge or want to fire yourself up, listening to it will fill you with the energy to move ahead.
