D.D.Snow Man
A track by the nine-member idol group Snow Man, who debuted on January 22, 2020 alongside SixTONES.
True to their global ambitions, they captivate with English lyrics, rap, and dynamic, acrobatic dance.
The dance beat makes your body sway and you’ll want to start moving.
Their perfectly synchronized, 100% in-step choreography—built on the trust among all nine members—is a must-see.
It’s absolutely recommended when you want an energy boost or a fresh change of mood!
First Lovenaniwa danshi
A long-awaited debut single from the seven-member idol group Naniwa Danshi, who were already household favorites on TV dramas and variety shows even before their debut.
The title song, “Shoshin LOVE” (pronounced “Ubu Love”), is a heart-throbbing track with maximum cuteness.
Personally, I love its refreshing vibe that’s not typical of Kansai Johnny’s.
Listening to the members’ innocent vocals might help you recapture those feelings from your very first love that you’d forgotten.
Learn the easy-to-copy dance too and stand out at karaoke!
Summer HydrangeasSexy Zone
Sexy Zone’s 21st single is themed around hydrangeas, the flowers that bloom in early summer.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “She Was Pretty,” which drew attention for starring Kento Nakajima and Fuka Koshiba in dual lead roles.
The song was reportedly written specifically for the drama by Motohiro Hata.
It’s a gently moody ballad perfect for the rainy season—be sure to watch how the Sexy Zone members exude a mature allure while retaining a boyish freshness.
Say I doNEW!Travis Japan
Travis Japan has captivated the world with their sharp dance performances, but in this release they deliberately set that weapon aside to deliver sweet, straightforward vocals.
The lyrics, which portray the thrill of falling in love and the resolve to take a step forward, are truly moving—an orthodox love song, right? It’s the title track from their landmark first single “Say I do / Tokyo Crazy Night,” released in March 2025, and it also made headlines as the theme song for the drama “Honnou Switch,” starring member Kaito Miyachika.
With achievements like topping the Billboard JAPAN Hot 100, its catchy melody has won over many listeners.
It’s a perfect song not only for those in the midst of a dramatic romance, but also for moments when you want to reaffirm your feelings for someone special.
Would You Like One?NEW!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.
Love so sweetarashi
It’s one of Arashi’s signature songs, befitting a nationally beloved idol group.
It’s also widely known as the theme song for the drama Boys Over Flowers 2 (Returns).
Since it’s a tie-in with a drama starring Jun Matsumoto, the arrangement—featuring him in the center position and with solo parts that make him stand out—is particularly striking.
With a euphoric sound that seems to overflow with feelings for someone precious, and lyrics that express realizing one’s love for that person and how those feelings grow, the song conveys a strong sense of gentleness.
ChankapanaNEWS
This is one of NEWS’s signature songs, imbued with the idea of making a leap onto the global stage.
The title word “Chankapāna,” which is repeated in the lyrics, is a coined term meaning “beloved person,” and it also carries a message to the fans.
Thanks to its bright, lively sound, just listening to it puts you in a cheerful mood.
The crisp diction in the lyrics lingers in your ears, and it’s a song that feels great to say out loud.
