PolarisNEW!KAT-TUN
A hidden gem of a medium-tempo ballad, imbued with motifs that evoke the night sky, stars, solitude, and prayer.
Unlike their wilder image, this track resonates with a sense of clarity and beautiful choral work.
It was included as the coupling track on Limited Edition 1 of KAT-TUN’s 23rd single “Dead or Alive,” released in January 2015.
While the title track “Dead or Alive” presents a hard-edged worldview as the theme song for the film “Joker Game,” this song quietly stays close to a wavering heart.
It’s a recommended piece to listen to alone on a quiet night when you want to calm your mind.
RUSH OF LIGHTNEW!KAT-TUN
A track included on the regular edition of KAT-TUN’s debut album “Best of KAT-TUN,” released in March 2006.
While depicting the small, everyday scenes of life, it’s a classic rock-pop number that sings of two people resolving to step into the future together.
Even as it carries wounds and doubts, its forward-looking stance resonates as an unpretentious, early-era KAT-TUN message.
Amid many intense rock tunes, this song’s warmth and freshness shine especially bright.
It’s a hidden gem that’s perfect for those moments when you just want a gentle push forward.
SMILE FOR YOUNEW!KAT-TUN
It’s a warm, encouraging song included on the album “CHAIN,” released in February 2012.
It carries a message that gently stays close to you on days when things don’t go your way or when you’re feeling down, giving you smiles and positive energy.
Even among KAT-TUN’s work, which often has a strong image of intense rock tunes, the smooth, rounded melody line here is particularly striking.
The song was used as the TV commercial theme for the mobile gaming site “entag!”.
Many listeners were likely cheered up by the light, upbeat pop sound that played in the commercial.
It’s a track you’ll definitely want to listen to when you’re at a standstill or in need of some gentle encouragement!
WILDS OF MY HEARTNEW!KAT-TUN
This is a track included on the album “Best of KAT-TUN,” which was released simultaneously as their debut in March 2006.
Its worldview traps a sense of wistfulness and pain within intensity, depicting a swell of emotions that can’t be fully controlled by reason.
The structure, where a sultry melody intersects with rap, brilliantly expresses the aggressiveness and precariousness that KAT-TUN excelled at during that time.
It’s a beloved fan favorite that has long been a staple at their live shows.
Perfect for moments when you want to feel inner heat and shadows rather than flashy euphoria.
Recommended for those who want to sink into a slightly wild, dramatic mood.
The Way of the LordNEW!KAT-TUN
This song is included on KAT-TUN’s fourth album, Break the Records -by you & for you-, released in April 2009.
Rather than flashy provocation, it’s an emotional pop-rock track that looks straight at the journey of life, its doubts, and the passage of time, while still portraying the will to keep moving forward.
Among the grand-scale rock and dance numbers KAT-TUN excelled at during that era, this song carries a warmth that slowly seeps into the heart, adding depth to the album’s flow.
It gently gives you a push when you’re unsure of your path or want to reassess how you’re living.
