Lefty Hand Cream - Full Cover of SMAP 'Orange'

This song has become a standard for choir performances.

The final word in the lyrics, “arigatou” (thank you), was originally “sayonara” (goodbye).

There’s a story that, at the suggestion of the SMAP members, it was changed to “arigatou” to end on a brighter, more positive note.

The Only Flower in the World – SMAP

Released as a single in March 2003, this song had been included on the previous year’s album “SMAP 015/Drink! Smap!” but gained major attention when it was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Boku no Ikiru Michi,” starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi.

With lyrics by Noriyuki Makihara, it warmly conveys the irreplaceable value each person holds by depicting flowers proudly blooming without competing with one another.

Its message—prioritizing living true to yourself over aiming to be number one—resonated deeply with many people weary of a competitive society, leading to a record-breaking triple-million hit.

It’s a song that gently nudges you forward when you feel you’re losing sight of who you are.

[+81 DANCE STUDIO] SMAP – Let's Do Our Best / Performed by Travis Japan

This is a celebrated song by SMAP that extols tireless effort and an indomitable spirit, chosen as the entrance march for the 67th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

Its bright, forward-looking message blends perfectly with a distinctive, groove-filled rhythm.

Immediately after its release in September 1994, it topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was also used as the opening theme for “Naruhodo! The World.” The song became a major hit, selling over 720,000 copies.

It’s a track that gives courage and hope in the face of adversity—one that powerfully pushes you forward.

SMAP / Original Smile (2011)

As a nationally beloved idol group, SMAP has maintained unwavering popularity even after disbanding.

They have many hit songs, but isn’t “Original Smile” the kind of uplifting anthem that soothes tired hearts while giving them courage? Released in 1994 as SMAP’s 13th single, the song was also used in a commercial for Oronamin C featuring Takuya Kimura.

It’s a cheer song that radiates freshness and positivity, and you can really feel the “strength” the track carries.

Thank youSMAP7rank/position

SMAP Thank you

Even people who don’t usually watch much sports broadcasting make an exception for the Olympics—there are probably a lot of folks like that.

Of course, I’m thrilled when Japanese athletes win gold medals, but I think what really moves me is the sheer excellence of the performances and the passionate matches.

“Thank you for the amazing game!” No matter the outcome, all I feel is gratitude—and SMAP’s ‘Arigatou’ is the perfect song for moments like that.

Its heartwarming lyrics, which express thanks to someone important, are a perfect fit for the inspiration of the Olympics and Paralympics!
