OnigishiSUPER EIGHT
Written by Yu Yokoyama and composed by Shota Yasuda, this is a song by the SUPER EIGHT subunit, the Three Brothers.
It’s a lyrical ballad that sings of memories with a mother and heartfelt gratitude.
The plain, straightforward words really strike a chord.
Originally included on the bonus CD of the album “KJ1 F·T·O,” released in March 2006, it has long been known among fans as a hidden gem.
In 2025, the members performed it on 24-Hour TV as a cheer for Yokoyama, who served as the runner, moving many viewers.
This piece may prompt you to reaffirm your feelings for someone important.
It’s a must-listen even for those who only know the group for their cheerful image.
We wish to a ridiculous extent.Nishikido Ryo
Ryo Nishikido’s solo track “Abareru Gurai Bokura wa Negau” is a tense ballad expressed with only piano accompaniment.
Seated loosely in a chair with a relaxed vibe, he nonetheless delivers a full, powerful vocal performance that’s astonishing.
His bona fide strength as a vocalist adds persuasiveness to the song.
I think his appeal comes across fully, even to those who aren’t Nishikido fans.
No way—I’ve fallen in love.Kyanjani∞
This is a bittersweet unrequited-love song that comically portrays a girl’s complex feelings.
After hearing a rumor from a friend that “he” was at a park with another woman, the protagonist tries desperately to brush it off, yet becomes so flustered she starts to sweat.
Many listeners will likely relate to how she’s bewildered by feelings she hadn’t even noticed in herself and, despite putting on a brave face, genuinely cherishes him.
Released by Canjani∞ in May 2023, the song features lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and choreography by TAKAHIRO, well known from the Sakamichi Series.
At the dome tour that December, where it was performed for the first time, the group delighted fans with a surprise appearance in women’s attire.
