[Popular Johnny’s Songs] Must-listen Johnny’s masterpieces for hardcore fans and casual listeners alike (21–30)
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.
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!
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.
Would You Like One?Travis Japan
Travis Japan, who captivate the world with sharp dance and vocal work and are active on a global scale.
This track, produced as the theme song for the film “Tabekko Doubutsu THE MOVIE,” released in May 2025, carries a positive message of enjoying and overcoming any challenge.
Food-related phrases like “Itadakimasu!” and a funky beat that makes your body move brighten listeners’ hearts.
It also drew attention because member Genta Matsuda voiced a character, and upon its digital release in April 2025, it topped the download charts.
The music video, set in a retro ramen shop, is unique, making it a perfect number for when you want a boost of energy or to get everyone hyped.
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.
NAVIGATORSixTONES
A dance track with a grand, thrilling sound that feels like you’ve wandered into a sci-fi movie.
It’s infused with a powerful will, as if breaking through the walls that block your path, and it’s the kind of song that makes your heart race as you listen.
Released in July 2020 as SixTONES’ second single, it was chosen as the opening theme for Fuji TV’s Noitamina anime series “The Millionaire Detective – Balance: UNLIMITED.” Known for selling over 600,000 copies in its first week, it’s a song that truly symbolizes their momentum.
A high-octane classic perfect for nighttime drives or moments when you need to rise to the occasion.
Its cool atmosphere, which ties in with the anime’s worldview, makes it a must-listen even for those who aren’t fans.
