[Popular Johnny’s Songs] Must-listen Johnny’s masterpieces for hardcore fans and casual listeners alike (21–30)
Real FaceKAT-TUN
KAT-TUN’s debut single, released on March 22, 2006, burst onto the scene with a mischievous, rebellious vibe that overturned the typical fresh and clean-cut Johnny’s image.
The lyrics were written by Shikao Suga, with music composed by Takahiro Matsumoto of B’z—an all-star lineup.
It’s a hugely popular track that went million-selling right out of the gate.
The intro’s guitar sound and the rap are incredibly cool, and the distinctive lyric about living on the edge keeps replaying in your head forever! Personally, I listen to it when I want to affirm myself.
VanillaA.B.C-Z
They added a Z, representing zero, to the abbreviation for “Acrobat Boys Club” to form A.B.C-Z, and true to that concept, their acrobatics—honed through experience as backup dancers—are emblematic.
This song has been performed since the group’s early days, and for their 10th anniversary they re-recorded the vocals and produced a music video, underscoring its importance to the group.
You can feel a Latin atmosphere and passion in the sound; it’s a calm yet sultry track.
DarlingV6
The 23rd single by V6, a six-member idol group that disbanded to much regret.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kimi wa Petto” starring Jun Matsumoto of Arashi.
Just hearing the intro gives you a fun feeling and gets your body moving! The chorus is a playful number that mixes Japanese and English.
The song perfectly matches the vibe of the six members and feels great, with their voices layering together to lift the track even more! Highly recommended for drives and karaoke.
Osaka RomanesqueKanjani∞
Kanjani∞ has many charms—not only do they perform as an idol group, but they also work as a rock band.
All the members are from the Kansai region, and even their group name is derived from the channel number “8” of Kansai TV, where they had a regular program, which shows their strong affection for Kansai.
This song is a love song set in the city of Osaka, and it was also chosen as the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau’s “Osaka Tourism Theme Song.” With a sound that incorporates elements of traditional Japanese style and lyrics that mention specific place names in Osaka, the track feels familiar and close to home.
Orange KissSnow Man
Snow Man’s song, which beautifully sings of the bittersweet beginning of love symbolized by the color orange at dusk, is full of charm that makes listeners’ hearts flutter! The strong desire to “protect” that grows as feelings for a loved one deepen, and the positive belief that any hardship can be overcome together, resonate to a refreshing melody.
Released in July 2022 as the theme song for the film My Boyfriend in Orange, starring group member Hikaru Iwamoto, the track further elevated the movie’s moving story.
It’s a song that will surely fill you with warm courage when you listen to it at sunset while thinking of someone special.
You are mine.Snow Man
A classic pop tune that captures the spark of a romance set in motion by a small trigger and makes you realize just how special the other person is.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Aoshima-kun wa Ijiwaru,” starring Shota Watanabe, it drew significant attention.
Released in July 2024 as the single “BREAKOUT / Kimi wa Boku no Mono,” it debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and is also included on the best-of album “THE BEST 2020-2025.” If you want to relive the glittering feelings at the start of love or reaffirm your feelings for someone important, you’re sure to relate when you listen.
HELLO HELLOSnow Man
This is a love song by Snow Man that delivered a refreshing thrill as the theme song for the film Honey Lemon Soda, starring member Raul.
Carried by a melody that feels like love bursting forth from a fateful encounter, the feelings come through straight and clear.
The music video, which leaps from a drawing into the real “you,” also amplified its pure worldview.
Released in July 2021 as their fourth single, it debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart with 806,000 copies sold in its first week.
Notably, it marked their third consecutive single to exceed 500,000 first-week sales—a remarkable feat for a male artist and the first in about ten years.
Listen to it under the summer blue sky, thinking of someone special, and you’ll be wrapped in a heart-filling sense of happiness.
