A song that celebrates the courage to move forward without fearing failure marked Shuchishin’s debut.

Its J-pop style evokes male idols of the 1980s, and the group’s distinctive costumes featuring long scarves drew attention.

Released in April 2008, it became a major hit, ranking 5th on the Oricon Yearly Singles Chart.

It was also used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Quiz! Hexagon II” and as the image song for “Odaiba Gakuen ~Bunkasai~.” It’s perfect for hyping up karaoke sessions or as background music at events with large crowds.

Men of the yutori generation—why not add it to your repertoire?

This is the third single from Shuchishin, a three-member unit formed on the quiz variety show “Quiz! Hexagon II.” Released in December 2008, the single topped the Oricon Weekly Chart and was certified Platinum.

It’s a bittersweet breakup song that recalls a lover on Christmas night and likens the narrator—who couldn’t make them happy—to a “cowardly Santa.” Chosen as the campaign song for Fuji TV’s winter event “HOT☆FANTASY ODAIBA 2008–2009,” many people likely heard it at Christmas-season event venues.

Blending a pop, accessible melody with a sense of longing, it also makes a great BGM choice for Christmas parties.

The Sun Also RisesArajin (shuuchishin + Pabo)3rank/position

The debut single by Aladdin, a unit formed from Pabo and Shuchishin, born out of the quiz show “Quiz! Hexagon II.” It’s a straightforward song cheering on Japan and its salarymen.

Since that’s the concept, everyone on the CD jacket is dressed in suits.
