ARASHI – A Thing More Important Than Words [Official Music Video]

There are moments when an indescribable surge of passion wells up inside you, aren’t there? This is a song by the national idol group Arashi that we especially want people embarking on a new chapter to hear.

Released as a single in September 2003, it became familiar as the theme song for the drama “Stand Up!!,” starring group member Kazunari Ninomiya.

Its driving band sound paired with straightforward lyrics powerfully stirs the listener’s heart.

As you head into a new life this spring, why not listen to their voices?

Lφve Rainbow (Cover ver.)

Let’s try singing Arashi’s song “Love Rainbow,” which was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku,” starring Jun Matsumoto! The tempo is a bit fast, but the melody is easy to remember and the lyrics aren’t too dense, so I think it’s easy to sing.

If it’s tough to sing the call-and-response parts alone, it’s perfectly fine to deliberately sing just one side.

There’s a high note part in the chorus, so men should practice hitting it cleanly in falsetto.

ARASHI – Face Down [Official Music Video]

This is their 38th single, released in May 2012 as the theme song for the Monday 9 p.m.

drama “Locked Room.” It features a dark, mysterious electro sound, drawing you in with tense synth bass and a four-on-the-floor beat.

The lyrics depict confronting the other self within—facing a false version of oneself—linking with the drama’s closed-room mystery setting.

It’s a cool, tension-filled track—definitely give it a listen!

ARASHI – ARAFES NATIONAL STADIUM 2012

Step and Go, Arashi’s 21st single released in 2008.

While it’s a song about parting, it has that signature Arashi vibe and is perfect as an upbeat graduation song.

Some listeners will surely feel, “This is exactly the kind of song I was looking for.” It’s a light, understated farewell song—one that, despite being about parting, conveys hope about moving forward on a new path.

It can be taken positively and gives you courage.

Because of all the fun days you’ve had until now, it makes you feel you can keep doing your best from here on out.

ARASHI – Beautiful days [Official Music Video]

A track that became a hot topic as the theme song for the drama “Ryusei no Kizuna,” starring Kazunari Ninomiya.

Released in November 2008, it is Arashi’s 24th single.

It delicately portrays the feeling of continuing to think of someone while carrying lost time and unreturned feelings.

The warm, mid-tempo melody further accentuates the poignancy.

Sho Sakurai’s rap part is particularly striking, and the return of rap on a single’s title track for the first time in four years delighted many fans.
