Set against a grand worldview like a game of the gods, it portrays the power of love that forges destiny—utterly captivating.
While no specific tie-in has been revealed, the collaboration between these two with overwhelming star power delivers a satisfaction akin to watching a full-length film.

IDOLICNEW!Nakajima Kento
This is the second single by Kento Nakajima, who has made a fresh start as a solo artist, scheduled for release in October 2025.
The track serves as the web commercial song for Sony’s “Xperia 10 VII,” and was created as a “theme song for life” that expresses his identity and evolution, centered around the keyword “Hyper Sexy.” It’s a killer tune that fuses idol appeal with dark, fantastical elements, and you can feel his musical dedication throughout, including writing the lyrics himself.
The song updates his previous image and conveys his determination to move into a new phase, making it a must-listen for those who want to fully savor his authentic charm and multifaceted expressiveness.
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.
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.
A Lump of LoveKinKi Kids
A track by the two-member idol unit KinKi Kids, who drew attention in TV dramas even before their debut.
It’s an ambitious work with lyrics by Tsuyoshi Domoto and composition by Koichi Domoto.
The melancholic intro may lead many to imagine a tragic love story, but it’s actually a song brimming with happiness about two people deeply in love.
Another highlight is that it portrays the feeling of love becoming so deep it’s almost frightening, from a woman’s perspective.
The harmonies of Tsuyoshi and Koichi make this winter classic even more enchanting.
