This is also a collaboration track.

The collaboration with EXILE was a huge topic at the time.

Both the song and the music video featuring all the members were incredibly cool, and it was often sung at karaoke.

It’s a song I’d love people who only know the current EXILE to listen to.

Kumi Koda / WON’T BE LONG

A song by female singer Kumi Koda—praised for her powerful vocals and emotional resonance—and the dance & vocal group EXILE, who have secured unwavering popularity with their unrivaled high-level performances.

Since the original number was released by the Bubblegum Brothers in 1990 and became a major hit, it’s widely recognized across generations and always livens up karaoke.

Beyond its catchy melody, the off-beat rhythm is the key to this track, making it a duet song where you’ll want to lean into the groove when singing it at karaoke.

Exile – Together 2003 A-NATION

It has a bright, pop sound, but the lyrics are filled with a resolve to protect her for a lifetime.

It’s popular as a song dedicated to the woman you’ve decided to marry.

While a couple’s days together bring all kinds of things, listening to this song makes you feel like you can overcome them—it’s an upbeat, happy track.

It’s an early EXILE song from when they had the twin-vocal lineup of ATSUSHI and SHUN.

It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Hotman.”

Each Other’s Way ~On the Journey~

A single released in February 2011, later included in advance on the album “Negai no Tō.” It was featured as the CHINTAI commercial song in which AKIRA appeared, and many people will remember hearing it on TV along with its refreshing world.

It’s characterized by the brisk, driving feel of the acoustic guitar and the expansive harmonies of the twin vocals by ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO.

The more you listen, the more the scenery before you seems to brighten.

Its lyrics, conveying that bonds don’t change even as we each go our own way, make it perfect for the season of new departures.

In a time when anticipation and anxiety about a new life are intertwined, this is a song you’ll want to hear as an anthem that gives a supportive push to yourself and your cherished friends.

HEART of GOLDEXILE98rank/position

HEART of GOLD

This is the song that was chosen as the theme for the stage production “HEART of GOLD ~STREET FUTURE OPERA BEAT POPS~.” Released in 2004 as their 16th single, it’s a ballad whose soaring vocals and lyrics about pursuing true love resonate deeply.

The sound arrangement alone seems to evoke a grand story.

While the highest notes aren’t extremely high, the song has a somewhat wide vocal range, so be sure to handle the rising and falling melody with control.
