ARASHI – Typhoon Generation [Official Music Video]

This single, released in July 2000, was used as the image song for the event “Odaiba Dot Com!” and as the CM song for Bourbon’s “Petit Series.” The staging that begins with a spoken line by Kazunari Ninomiya is memorable, and many fans were likely captivated by the poignant monologue at the start.

The song’s structure is interesting, shifting from a gentle ballad feel in the first half to an up-tempo groove toward the end.

The vocal range is comfortably manageable, and the slower tempo in the first half makes it easy to sing calmly.
