Johnny's WEST's masterpieces and popular songs

Here are some songs by Johnny’s WEST, an idol group under Johnny & Associates that has been active since 2014.

As their name suggests, Johnny’s WEST is made up of members from Kansai Johnny’s Jr.

They are the first group in ten years to carry on the Kansai spirit since Kanjani Eight, who have gone on to become a nationwide sensation.

Originally, the group was supposed to debut with the current seven members, but just a few hours before their unveiling at the Johnny’s Countdown Live at the end of 2013, they were suddenly told they would debut as four.

They went on to perform in that day’s show as planned, but believing that the other three members’ strength was essential to aim for a nationally popular group, they later negotiated with the agency, and their debut as the current seven-member lineup was realized.

The performances of Johnny’s WEST, formed with such strong determination, truly resonate with the heart.

Please give a listen even to the songs you don’t know yet.

CHO-EXTACYJanīzu WEST

A song packed with the members’ irresistible allure.

That hip-swaying choreography has every fan swooning, right? Personally, I really love the intro, musical development, and choreography in the section where the tone changes in the latter half of the song.

It’s a track where I’d love for you to enjoy not only the sound but also the members’ dance together.

Akan LOVE ~It’s Pure, Simple Love~Janīzu WEST

It’s included on the mini-album Paripipo, released in July 2015.

The song features Kansai-dialect lyrics and portrays the struggle of not being able to get the person you like to notice you.

Along with a performance highlighted by memorable parapara dance moves, its catchy melody sticks in your head and makes you want to listen to it over and over.

KIZUNAJanīzu WEST

This is a song included on their fifth single, “Gyakuten Winner,” released in 2016.

Even if you’ve shed many tears, I’ll keep calling out to you—and you’re not alone.

It’s a song that carries a message appealing to a heart that’s hard to open.

“Red Scarf” is a bittersweet ballad about wishing you could go back to the days you were together if you could turn back time, while still hoping for the other person’s happiness.

The tender melody and heartrending lyrics really sink in.

Of course the beautiful harmonies stand out, but I think Ryusei-kun’s poignant vocal delivery is also a key point! It’s a hidden gem I want even people who don’t usually listen to Johnny’s songs to hear.
