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.
