At the 10th-anniversary event “Jusai,” it took first place in the fan vote for album tracks and is one of their most enduringly popular songs.
It’s a high-energy dance number that they perform at almost every concert.

Both the sound and the lyrics feel like something only Kanjani∞ could pull off, and you can tell every member is having a blast.
There’s no doubt it’s become an essential track for their summer concerts! The call-and-response parts also get fans involved and fired up.
Black of nightKanjani∞
This is the coupling track to the 37th single “NOROSHI,” released on December 7, 2016.
Shota Yasuda wrote and composed the song, and it’s a Shota Yasuda–produced track that even involved him in the MV’s costumes and choreography.
As he himself said, “I wanted to make a song unlike anything Kanjani Eight has done before,” it features various sounds like water, heartbeats, and breathing, resulting in a thrilling coolness that lets you fully immerse yourself in Shota Yasuda’s world.
The slick choreography is also a highlight.

With easy-to-remember choreography, it’s a song you can enjoy dancing along to—truly a track you can get hyped up for with all-out enthusiasm.
The Road Back to the DreamKanjani∞
Their popular soft ballad.
They’re usually a lively idol group with a comedic slant, but perhaps because of that contrast, a quiet song like this has a soothing, enigmatic charm.
You can also see the secret to its popularity in the fact that the song was written and composed by BEGIN.
Through each of the seven members’ solo parts, you can rediscover the unique appeal of each individual.
It’s a song fans will find irresistible, isn’t it?
Tsubu-sanicoiKanjani∞
This is the 19th single, released on August 17, 2011.
It was used as the ending theme for the drama Full Throttle Girl, in which member Ryo Nishikido appeared.
The phrase “Tsubasa ni” carries the meaning of “single-mindedly” or “wholeheartedly.” As lyricist TAKESHI describes it as a down-to-earth love song from a man’s perspective, it’s a ballad that portrays a clumsy yet devoted love.
