Kanjani Eight / It's My Soul

This is the seventh single, released on October 17, 2007.

The lyrics were written by Joeya Uenaka of THE Inazuma Sentai.

It became a turning point that showcased a new side of the group, different from their previous Osaka-centric songs.

The lyrics portray a man who, despite the girl’s imperfections, finds himself drawn to her and constantly getting swept up in her whims.

It’s a song that evokes the image of a lovable, slightly goofy guy—something that ties in with Kanjani Eight’s playful charm.

Kanjani Eight — Tried playing “Monjai Beat.”

It is included on the fifth album, FIGHT, released on November 16, 2011.

“Monjai” carries the nuance of “So what?!” and conveys a positive message to keep fighting without giving up.

It’s a fun, upbeat song that is emblematic of Kanjani Eight.

The uniform-style costumes were designed by the members themselves, each showcasing their individuality.

Even among Kanjani’s songs, this number where they sing while playing guitar is one of my absolute favorites.

All the members sing while playing instruments, and even though they might usually seem like they’re goofing around, it really shows how much they love music and how talented they are.

Cherry Support SongKanjani∞41rank/position

[Karaoke] Sakura Support Song (Oh! ENKA) / Kanjani Eight

Kanjani Eight is an idol rock band.

The song they created as the ending theme for the anime Nintama Rantaro is “Sakura Oenka.” Its lyrics are crafted to cheer on people tackling love and their studies.

In other words, the title “Ouenka” is a play on words with “cheering song.” Another highlight is how Kanjani Eight’s characteristically pop sound fuses beautifully with Japanese-style melodies that reflect the anime’s world.

The sound of the small hand drum in particular is addictive.
