ARASHI – Monster [Official Music Video]

A dance number that captures the mindset of a monster awakening in the darkness of night—mysterious yet depicting a deep, abiding love! Despite its seemingly dark worldview, it embodies eternal love: continuing to search for the beloved even after losing one’s memories, even after being reborn.

Each listen evokes fresh emotion.

Released in May 2010, it became well-known as the theme song for the drama “Kaibutsu-kun” starring Satoshi Ohno.

It is also highly regarded as one of Arashi’s signature dance tracks.

DNA (Japanese ver.)

We can’t leave out “DNA,” with its pleasant EDM-style sound.

This one is incredibly easy to groove to.

The intro kicks off with Jungkook’s whistling, and the track builds around it, giving it a fresh, poppy feel.

Then, with the addition of EDM-like heavy bass, it becomes a very danceable song—perfect when you want to sing and move your body.

Also, the tempo is relaxed with lots of sustained notes, making it a good pick if you’re aiming to rack up extra points.
