Dye DZ - Tried Dancing [Hikaru]

It is included on their fifth album, “FIGHT,” released on November 16, 2011.

Member Shota Yasuda wrote the lyrics and composed the music, showcasing once again his inimitable, distinctive sensibility and talent.

The song is said to be about a vampire who falls in love with a human, with its eerie sound and English lyrics expressing that world.

The effective distribution of vocal parts—devised by Yasuda to highlight each member’s voice—has also become popular among fans.

Kanjani Eight – Barintan

It’s a fun song to watch, with members cutely dancing while playing tambourines.

There’s call-and-response, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at live shows.

In true Kanjani style, it’s packed with humor, featuring lines and skits, creating a colorful track.

The extended interlude with a tambourine solo feels fresh, and the rhythmic changes are delightful—an absolute party tune you’ll want to experience live.

Tsutsumi Kindergarten Recital

I think it’s a relatively unknown song, but it’s about twin pandas and it’s very cute.

I think it would be adorable even if the infants just came out wearing panda costumes.

Since they’re twins, it might also be cute to have them perform in pairs and showcase something together.

Kanjani Eight – Rin

A powerful cheering song by Kanjani Eight that portrays people who keep striving toward their goals out of the spotlight.

It was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s coverage of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and has continued to be used frequently on sports programs across the Fuji TV network.

The song depicts both offering words of encouragement that empathize with the feelings of athletes and rallying together with spectators through shared excitement, making it a track that stirs the heart no matter which perspective you listen from.

BJ listening comparison (earphones required)

This is the coupling track to their eighth single, “Wahaha,” released on March 12, 2008.

It’s a renowned ballad that the members all call “an important song,” and it has earned overwhelming support from fans.

“BJ” is said to stand for “Blowing Journey.” A re-arranged version, arranged by Ryo Nishikido and performed by the members, was included on the regular edition of “Naguri-gaki BEAT,” released on January 25, 2017.

T.W.L / Yellow Pansy StreetKanjani∞69rank/position

SUPER EIGHT (Kanjani Eight) Yellow Pansy Street

Yet another idol group from Johnny & Associates has made it into the rankings.

This group has now become the second most popular after Arashi, and its members are active on variety shows and the like.

It’s unfortunate that the only videos of this song available were karaoke or covers.

Since it’s a popular song, I was curious about the original.

SUPER EIGHT – Forty-Year-Old Boy (from “Super DOME TOUR 20th Festival”)

The rap argument between Kanjani Eight members Okura and Yasuda is really entertaining.

Maybe it’s because they speak in Kansai dialect, but even when they’re arguing honestly, it somehow feels heartwarming to listen to.

They must be close to each other to be able to sing a song like this.
