One Lovearashi
This is a classic song widely used at weddings as a love song that vows eternal love.
While it’s a grand and powerful ballad, it also incorporates pop elements, portraying gratitude and love for that one irreplaceable person in the world, accompanied by a beautiful melody.
Released in June 2008 as the 22nd single, it was selected as the theme song for the film Hana Yori Dango Final starring Jun Matsumoto, sold approximately 314,000 copies in its first week, and ranked second on Oricon’s 2008 annual singles chart.
Now a standard wedding song for couples to pledge their love, it is also one of Arashi’s more singable tracks.
Men may find the vocal range slightly high, but for women it’s a heartwarming song that can be sung steadily even through the full chorus.
seasonarashi
A hidden gem by Arashi, included as the coupling track to the single “Everything,” released in July 2009.
It was also featured in au’s commercial campaign song “What if it weren’t Arashi?”, and has been embraced by fans as a J-pop ballad with a gentle, soothing melody.
The lyrics delicately depict emotions and scenes that shift with the seasons, beautifully expressing themes such as memories of youth, partings, and reunions.
With a deeply moving message that resonates in the heart, it’s the perfect song for quiet nights or for reflecting on cherished memories.
Naniwa Iroha-bushiKanjani∞
A debut work distinguished by a unique musical style that fuses enka and rock.
Quoting the traditional Japanese “Iroha Uta,” it powerfully sings of the joys and hardships of everyday life while praising Kansai’s culture and the temperament of its people.
The song strongly conveys Kanjani Eight’s love and pride for their hometown.
Released exclusively in the Kansai region in August 2004 and nationwide the following month, it was used as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo variety show “Ura-Jani.” Highly recommended for those who want to savor a distinctly Kansai atmosphere or who are interested in a fusion of traditional Japanese music and contemporary sound.

A love song from King & Prince that weaves together heartache and passion.
It’s a gem of a ballad that beautifully expresses the longing between two people who struggle with the distance between them yet are drawn powerfully to one another.

Released in January 1997, it became V6’s first non tie-in single to top the Oricon singles chart.
It was later included on the albums “NATURE RHYTHM” and “Very best,” and continues to be cherished as one of V6’s signature songs.
