Johnny’s iconic and hit songs from the ’90s (11–20)
It’s love.V6
Ai Nanda, V6’s fifth single, released in January 1997.
Although it had a relatively modest tie-in as an insert song for a TV Asahi drama, it still reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
With total sales of 585,000 copies, it stands as their best-selling single.
It’s a bright, uplifting message song that’s quintessentially V6.
Beyond the Night SkySMAP
Yozora no Mukou, SMAP’s 27th single, released in January 1998, was used as a SoftBank commercial song.
Known until then for many uptempo, danceable tracks, SMAP took on a ballad and achieved remarkable success.
It sold 1.621 million copies on the Oricon charts, becoming their first million-selling hit.
FlowerKinKi Kids
Flower is the seventh single by KinKi Kids, released in May 1999.
Although it was used as the theme song for ANA’s Okinawa campaign commercial for a second consecutive year, Flower is the more popular song.
I think it’s often sung on NHK’s Nodo Jiman as well.
Beyond its bright melody, its positive lyrics are relatable.
After debuting at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart, it went on to become a long-running hit, selling a total of 1.046 million copies and achieving million-seller status.
ShakeSMAP
SMAP’s “Shake” is a song loved by people of all genders and ages.
Just like the title says, it makes you want to shake and start dancing, showing a fresh new side of SMAP.
If you’re driving along the coast with the windows down and listening to it, you’ll feel like it’s summer already.
Grilling BBQ while listening to “Shake” is the best, too! And of course, it’s not just for summer—it’s perfect in winter as well.
It’ll liven up a Christmas party, no doubt.
Let’s do our best.SMAP
Ganbarimashou is SMAP’s 14th single, released in September 1994.
Riding the momentum from the previous hit Original Smile, it’s a similarly upbeat, forward-looking message song.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Naruhodo the World.
It reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart and set a new personal best with sales of 720,000 copies, paving the way for their subsequent breakthrough.
