Missingnaniwa danshi21rank/position

Naniwa Danshi – Missing [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

The song “Missing,” used as the theme for the TV drama Knocking on a Locked Door starring member Daigo Nishihata.

For Naniwa Danshi, it’s unusually cool and stylish in its production.

While the piece has a strong jazz flavor, the vocal line itself leans toward J-pop with a slightly kayōkyoku feel, so it’s not overly difficult.

However, a falsetto appears toward the end of the chorus, so take care there.

Since it’s a relatively low falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key and try singing it with mixed voice.

Please use this as a reference.

Emeraldnaniwa danshi27rank/position

Emerald / Naniwa Danshi [Piano Sheet Music] Full (Sheet with Lyrics)

A track from Naniwa Danshi’s first album, “1st Love.” With lyrics vowing, “No matter what happens, I’ll always stay by your side,” and an emotionally moving sound that resonates deeply, it leaves a strong impression.

While it’s a warmly heartfelt love song, when played on piano it somehow also sounds like a graduation song.

“Emerald” conveys not only gentleness but also a sense of determination to “protect the one you love.” Be sure to add plenty of dynamics and play it expressively.

Naniwa Danshi – Black Nightmare [Official Music Video Short ver.]

A striking work that fuses a slightly poisonous worldview with electro dance sounds.

Naniwa Danshi is often associated with a sparkling, classic idol image, but this piece takes an aggressive stance by incorporating hip-hop elements.

The staging that begins with Joichiro Fujiwara’s spoken line is dramatic and draws you in.

This track is included on the single “Asymmetry / Black Nightmare,” released in September 2025.

It also made waves as the theme song for the drama “Laundering,” starring Joichiro Fujiwara.

During production, all the members reportedly struggled with the pronunciation in the rap parts, and their dedication really comes through.

It’s a number you’ll want to hear when you’re in the mood for a thrill or when you want to experience the group’s cooler side.
