This is KAT-TUN’s 28th single, released in March 2021 to mark the major milestone of their 15th anniversary.

It also drew attention for being chosen as the theme song for the NTV Saturday drama “Red Eyes: Kanshi Sosahan,” starring Kazuya Kamenashi.

The lyrics express the resolve to start walking toward the future while grappling with a present that has no clear answers, and the sound—combining fragility and strength—strikes a chord.

The arrangement, in which the three members’ vocals layer over the cool tones of piano and strings, is breathtaking.

It’s a track you’ll want to sink into when you need courage to move forward or on a quiet night when you want to face yourself.

This work was produced as a digital-only coupling track for the single “Roar,” released in March 2021.

Timed with the group’s 15th anniversary and their first-ever digital release, it stands as a landmark ballad.

The lyrics were written by Kenta Urashima, with composition by Kenta Urashima and Hiroto Kikuchi, delicately portraying the resolve to move forward while embracing memories of the past.

As the title suggests—meaning “reminiscence”—it’s a masterpiece that invites you to reflect on their journey and listen closely alone on a quiet night.

It’s also recommended for those who want to look back on the time spent with KAT-TUN and bask in a warm afterglow.

As the title suggests, it’s a cool dance number that captures unexpected, shocking events and emotional upheavals with thrilling, “flash-like” words.

It distills KAT-TUN’s signature sharp, urban worldview, and the gripping tension that seizes the listener in an instant is irresistible.

Though performed on NHK’s The Shonen Club and at concerts since around 2005, this legendary masterpiece went unreleased in audio form for a long time.

Answering fervent fan requests, it finally received its first CD release on the fan-club–exclusive edition of the single “Roar,” released in March 2021.

It also drew attention for being packaged at the milestone of the group’s 15th anniversary.

Real FaceKAT-TUN

Released in March 2006, this is KAT-TUN’s debut single and one of their signature songs.

The tongue clicks in the track don’t come off unpleasant at all; instead, they bring out KAT-TUN’s style and make it really cool.

The choreography for the chorus is easy to learn, so at concerts fans would dance along with them.
