SixTONES – From Here [YouTube ver.]

SixTONES is a six-member group that’s active not only in music but also in acting and many other fields.

This song, created as the theme for the TV drama “However, There Is Passion,” starring member Shintaro Morimoto, sets hearts ablaze with its fiery rap passed between the members and the groove of a live band.

Released in June 2023 as their 10th single, it’s an uplifting anthem that affirms the struggles of the present while singing about the resolve to take a step forward from there.

The lyrics, which empathize with the conflicts everyone faces and provide energy for tomorrow, will surely give a powerful push to anyone trying to take on a challenge.

Just listening to it fills your whole body with energy—a powerful fusion tune perfect for moments of truth.

A buoyant sixth Japanese single released in July 2020, its bright brass sound lifts your spirits—and it even topped the Oricon weekly chart.

This track is packed with TWICE’s energy that lights up the world; rather than simply telling you to “hang in there,” it feels as warm and familiar as a close friend cheering you on at your side.

The contrast between the poppy melody and the rap parts is another draw, and it stands out on the album Perfect World as well.

Isn’t it a hopeful anthem that keeps you feeling positive no matter what?
