This song is refreshing and really fills you with energy and power when you listen to it.

As always, all the members look so young.

I love Nishikido-kun’s solo part where he sings shyly.

It’s a really good song that lifts your spirits.

His solo as the lead guitarist of Kanjani.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t been released on CD, but it’s a song he performed on stage in “818.” It’s an original composition, packed with the kind of appeal you’d expect from a singer-songwriter rather than an idol.

The beautiful falsetto and the lyrics are truly moving in this acoustic performance.

With this, the charm of Shota Yasuda as a vocalist has spread even further today!

A band-style track featuring an acoustic guitar, with each member performing their instrument live.

The song is particularly striking for the vocals by Subaru Shibutani, whose distinctive voice rivals that of any rock band frontman.

It’s a warm, comforting piece that can warm your heart even in winter, and a ballad that moves you with the heartfelt singing of the members.

It is included on their eighth album, “Genki ga Deru CD!!,” released on November 11, 2015.

Shota Yasuda, a member who was a fan of Yu Takahashi, requested that Takahashi write the song himself.

It’s a rock number that showcases their cool and stylish side.

Yu Takahashi has also recorded a self-cover, and on Kanjani∞’s regular TV show “Kanjam Kanzenburn SHOW,” a session featuring Kanjani∞ and Yu Takahashi was performed.

In concerts, a band arrangement was showcased, which captivated fans.

It’s their fourth single, released as a double A-side with “∞SAKA Obachan ROCK” on June 7, 2006.

It’s one of Kanjani∞’s signature songs, hugely supported by fans.

At the event “∞ Festival ~We’re 8 years old too, Let’s Go 8 Crazy Festival~” held on August 8 in their 8th year (2012), it proudly took first place in a survey asking “If you could sing just one song on this anniversary, which would it be?”, and the members performed it.

This is the 30th single, released on October 15, 2014.

It was used as the theme song for the drama “Gomen ne Seishun!” starring member Ryo Nishikido.

The lyrics were written by Kankuro Kudo, who also handled the drama’s script.

The music video features a comedic concept in which the members, dressed in full-body black tights, sing while manipulating miniature puppets.

They appeared on television in the same outfits, delivering a characteristically chaotic Kanjani Eight performance.
