SixTONES debuted in 2020, but this song had been performed at concerts and other events even before their debut, and it remains a long-standing favorite among fans.
The sound has a traditional Japanese vibe, and the lyrics use words that evoke a sense of wa (Japanese aesthetics), which leaves a strong impression and seems to express the image of the title straightforwardly.
While incorporating elements of Japanese style, the core is a beat-driven, fast-paced sound that clearly conveys the group’s power and coolness.

It’s also popular overseas, and the DVD includes versions in four languages as well as a choreography manual! With its passionate melody, lyrics, and cool choreography, the perfectly synced singing and dancing are impressive.
The dance isn’t complicated, so be sure to give it a listen and try it out yourself!

King & Prince’s celebrated song, which portrays love that stretches on forever, premiered in April 2022 as the theme for KOSÉ Cosmeport’s Je l’aime iP commercial.
Beginning with a fateful encounter, the protagonist’s feelings—growing as they embrace their partner’s tears and scars—soak into the heart alongside a refreshing melody.
The song sparked major acclaim, topping the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and earning Double Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
It’s a love song you’ll want to listen to with someone special—and it’s a great pick for karaoke, too.
Flower SongTOKIO
A bright and refreshing pop-rock number that evokes the hopeful arrival of spring.
Its message affirms the simple, everyday happiness that exists beyond mere logic, offering comfort—and at times a gentle push—to people leading busy lives.
Released in March 2002, it drew attention as the theme song for the drama “Nurseman” and was also performed at the 53rd NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
In this piece, a quintessential J-pop melody line blends beautifully with a catchy chord progression.
The live band arrangement performed by TOKIO ensures it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at concerts and karaoke alike.
