NEWS NipponNEWS
This is NEWS’s debut song.
Even for a debut, the way they harmonized in the high register looked polished.
It reminds me of how often it played in Odaiba during the winter season.
From the gentle opening to the powerful, confident chorus, the expressiveness is outstanding.

Coupled with a grand sound, it also carries a warmth that feels like a gentle push on your back.
It’s a track that fully showcases NEWS’s matured musicality.
Released in June 2022, it was also used as the opening theme for the drama “Kichijoji Losers.” In contrast to the double A-side track “The Three Musketeers,” it offers a different vibe, letting you savor the many facets of NEWS’s appeal.
It’s the perfect cheer song for when you want to feel encouraged or take a new step forward!

The profound lyrics and meticulous composition by Heroism are further enhanced by Shiori Sasaki’s choral arrangement.

In this season when the biting cold makes you yearn for warmth, there’s a hidden gem by NEWS you should hear.
Released only on the regular edition of the single “EMMA” in February 2017, this song is a love ballad that blends wistfulness and warmth, inspired by the image of a white flower blooming on a snowy night.
It was performed during the “NEWS LIVE TOUR 2017 NEVERLAND,” where its story-like, beautiful staging captivated fans.
Ryo-Suke Nakanishi’s delicate arrangement and the members’ vocals exquisitely capture winter’s quiet and the subtleties of love.
Listen to it on a Valentine’s night when you long for someone’s touch, or when you want to quietly reflect, and you’ll feel a gentle light kindling in your chilled heart.
It’s a precious song that keeps you company through long winter nights.
I-Za-Na-I-Zu-KiNEWS
A hidden gem marked by sorrowful lyrics wrapped in a mysterious sound.
This track, which vividly evokes moonlit scenes, is included on one of NEWS’s early albums.
Packed with the charm of NEWS, who formed in September 2003, it’s rated so highly among fans that not knowing it means you can’t call yourself a true fan.
It’s the perfect song for when you want to spend time alone in the quiet of the night or sink into deep thought.
A compelling piece that showcases the diverse musicality of NEWS.
