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.
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.
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).
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?
NEW ERASixTONES
This track is marked by an emotionally charged, fast-paced mixture sound.
Its distinctive intro evokes a sense of traditional Japanese style, resulting in a finish that harmonizes with the anime’s worldview.
Released in November 2020, the song was selected as the opening theme for the Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV anime Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.
It sold 446,000 copies in its first week, achieving the remarkable feat of topping the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Symbolizing a venture into a new era, this piece is recommended for those who wish to move forward without fearing change.
Kitearashi
A song written and composed by the popular artist Kenshi Yonezu and planned as NHK’s theme song for 2020.
Released in July 2020, the song uses kites as a symbol and features lyrics about dreams, hope, and the support of family and those around us, resonating with many listeners.
It sold 911,000 copies in its first week, debuting at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Cumulative sales later reached 1.117 million copies, marking Arashi’s first million-selling single.
This track is especially recommended for the graduation season and times of new beginnings.
It’s a heartwarming song that gives a gentle push to those striving toward their dreams.
