Released for streaming in December 2025, this work has become a hot topic and is also known as the miracle theme song for the film “Romantic Killer.” While radiating the classic glittering vibe characteristic of Naniwa Danshi, it’s crafted into a high-energy party tune that describes the impulses of love as “chaos.” The lyrics and composition are by Akihiko Nakamura, and it’s striking how the helpless feelings of being tossed around by a perfect love interest are portrayed over a brisk beat.

In the music video, set in a school, you can enjoy the members’ comedic attempts as they vie for a single Madonna.

Although it was released in the winter season, the song’s heat will have your body moving before you know it, making it a perfect track for when you need a boost.

While Naniwa Danshi are strongly associated with the sparkling image of classic idols, some of their songs carry a mysterious allure.

One I especially recommend is The Answer.

Released in April 2022 as their second single, it’s also known as the theme song for the drama The Files of Young Kindaichi, starring Shunsuke Michieda.

Although it’s a track included on the album “1st Love,” released in July 2022, performances like their tearful renditions on stage have made it beloved among fans as a masterpiece that carries weight beyond a typical album song.

This work will gently offer a warm message when you feel like stopping on your way toward a dream.

Please give it a listen when you’re thinking of your cherished friends or when you want to encourage yourself.
