Samurai Song - Kanjani Eight - Guitar

This is the 34th single, released on December 2, 2015.

It was used as the theme song for the drama “Samurai Sensei,” starring group member Ryo Nishikido.

Produced by Rekishi (Takafumi Ikeda), the lyrics charmingly intertwine unwavering devotion to a loved one with the steadfast spirit of a samurai.

It’s performed in a band style, opening with only an acoustic guitar as Ryo Nishikido sings in a whisper.

The warm sound of the chorus makes it a deeply moving track.

If you were so busy on the actual birthday that you missed celebrating it, I recommend Kanjani Eight’s “Sorry Sorry love.” It’s perfect for celebrating a birthday a bit later.

Try sending it as a message by rewording it into birthday wishes for someone whose birthday fell during exam season or a long break.

A track distinguished by its exhilarating, youthful punk sound.

It carries a powerful message that even an unfinished version of yourself can become someone’s hero.

Kanjani Eight’s vocal prowess is on full display, and combined with the invigorating performance, it becomes a song that truly resonates.

Released in May 2023, it was also chosen as the theme song for the drama “Kotaro Lives Alone: He’s Back!” starring Yu Yokoyama.

It’s an uplifting anthem that boosts your mood even more when listened to in spring—perfect for when you’re feeling down or ready to take on something new.

Kanjani Eight is an idol rock band.

The song they created as the ending theme for the anime Nintama Rantaro is “Sakura Oenka.” Its lyrics are crafted to cheer on people tackling love and their studies.

In other words, the title “Ouenka” is a play on words with “cheering song.” Another highlight is how Kanjani Eight’s characteristically pop sound fuses beautifully with Japanese-style melodies that reflect the anime’s world.

The sound of the small hand drum in particular is addictive.

roller coasterKanjani∞

“Rolling Coaster” is a track included on Kanjani Eight’s third album, “PUZZLE,” released in 2009.

A remix version of this song was later included on the regular edition of the single “Wonderful World!!” On the 2009 Christmas special of the Johnny’s music variety show “The Shonen Club Premium,” which airs on BS, they performed a session with Taichi Kokubun from TOKIO!

Bread PandaKanjani∞

I think it’s a relatively unknown song, but it’s about twin pandas and it’s very cute.

I think it would be adorable even if the infants just came out wearing panda costumes.

Since they’re twins, it might also be cute to have them perform in pairs and showcase something together.
