Johnny’s Popular Songs: Must-Listen Johnny’s Classics for Hardcore Fans and Casual Listeners Alike (11–20)
Paradise GalaxyHikaru GENJI
Arguably Hikari GENJI’s biggest hit, this song likely played a major role in cementing the group’s roller-skate image.
As with “STAR LIGHT” and “Garasu no Jūdai,” ASKA of CHAGE and ASKA handled both lyrics and composition.
The bright, upbeat sound and lyrics that seem to revel in being a kid are memorable, creating a track that portrays a sparkling world visible only in childhood.
tone colorNEW!SixTONES
Released on May 1, 2024—the same date as the group’s formation—this is SixTONES’ 12th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Omukae Shibuya-kun,” starring group member Taiga Kyomoto, it likely became a weekly highlight for many viewers.
With a warm band sound woven by strings and horn sections and gentle lyrics that evoke bonds with friends and loved ones, the track is filled with the group’s embracing presence.
Sung by a group stepping into their 10th year, it carries a persuasive power that resonates deeply with listeners.
Rather than flashy production, its down-to-earth message gently sinks in, making it a perfect song to play when you want to reflect on time spent with someone special or when you need a heartwarming boost.
Sora-buneTOKIO
This is the 35th single by TOKIO, a group rare for Johnny’s in that they debuted as a band.
It’s also known as a number written by Miyuki Nakajima.
The song was used as the theme for the NTV drama My Boss My Hero, starring TOKIO member Tomoya Nagase.
A key point is how vocalist Nagase powerfully and triumphantly makes the strong, quintessentially Nakajima-style lyrics his own.
It’s an absolutely cool, energizing masterpiece.
MasqueradeShonentai
It’s Shonentai’s debut song and a signature track for the group.
The tense opening sounds and the percussive tones leave a strong impression with their passionate resonance.
With a masquerade—where masks conceal one’s identity—as its motif, it also feels like it portrays a demonic, elusive kind of love that defies grasp.
The powerful vocals, which evoke the image of someone desperately trying to convey their feelings while in an unstable, dreamlike state, also linger in the ears.
Luv BiasKis-my-ft2
It’s a song by Kis-My-Ft2 with an impressive, grand, and moving atmosphere that seems to express the depth of feelings for a beloved person and the emotions overflowing from them.
It was also chosen as the theme song for the drama “Oh! My Boss! Love Is a Bonus Book,” starring group member Yuta Tamamori, and a notable point is the vocal arrangement that highlights Tamamori.
Throughout the song, powerful feelings for a loved one are depicted, conveying a sense of great happiness while also expressing the anxiety that comes from those feelings becoming almost too strong.
VenusTakkī & Tsubasa
Known affectionately as TakiTsuba, Tackey & Tsubasa’s sixth single was released on January 18, 2006.
It’s their biggest hit and is popular overseas as well, so the DVD even includes versions in four languages and a choreography manual! With its passionate melody, lyrics, and cool choreography, it’s a standout number, and the duo’s tight harmonies and dance are impressive.
The dance isn’t too complicated, so please give it a listen and try it out! Personally, I’m sad we can no longer see them perform as a unit.

White LoveHey! Say! JUMP
The 21st single by Hey! Say! JUMP, a Johnny’s group born in the Heisei era.
It served as the theme song for the film “Teen Bride” (Minors, But Not Kids), starring group member Yuri Chinen, and was released on December 20, 2017.
As the title “White Love” suggests, it’s a perfect number for winter.
If you’re looking for a sweet, classic love song that’s easy on the ears, be sure to give it a listen! Their performance—combining coolness, freshness, and a touch of maturity—is also a must-see!
