A dance number that captures the mindset of a monster awakening in the darkness of night—mysterious yet depicting a deep, abiding love! Despite its seemingly dark worldview, it embodies eternal love: continuing to search for the beloved even after losing one’s memories, even after being reborn.

It is also highly regarded as one of Arashi’s signature dance tracks.

Naniwa Danshi’s classic “NANIWA’n WAY,” beloved for its embracing lyrics, might initially seem to depict a love story, yet it also feels like a message from the group to their fans.

In contrast to its sweet, heartfelt themes, the melody is crafted to be poppy, bright, and refreshing.

The vocal range spans from mid1D to hiA; while that seems broad, the lowest note only appears in the first verse’s A section, so the practical range isn’t all that wide.
