What Good Things / SMAP | RAP Remix – cover by TEE

This mid-tempo number features a gentle, warm melody and lyrics that capture the quiet happiness hidden in everyday life, leaving a deep impression on the heart.

Released in September 1995 as SMAP’s 18th single, it became widely familiar as the theme song for Calbee’s Potato Chips commercials starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Shingo Katori.

Issued on September 9, the anniversary of their debut, it topped the Oricon weekly chart and marked a hit that reflected the group’s growing maturity.

Its message—valuing time spent with someone close over flashy events—offers a gentle embrace for hearts worn out by busy days.

Released in June 2013, SMAP’s 50th single as a title track became widely beloved as the theme song for the drama “Kasuka na Kanojo.” The song was written and composed by Masaki Tsuno of Akai Koen, with arrangement by Yoko Kanno.

Its positive message—blowing away the stagnation of everyday life and moving forward—resounds powerfully atop a catchy 8-beat and uplifting brass.

Selling 328,000 copies in its first week, it topped the Oricon weekly chart and achieved a historic milestone: 50 consecutive Top 10 entries since their debut single.

With its festive, danceable sound, it’s the perfect pep song for when you need a boost or are taking on something new.

In 2007, SMAP appeared in a Pocari Sweat commercial, and in it they were chased by a dinosaur skeleton, with CG showing them drying out and turning into skeletons themselves.

The song is one of the tracks in the “SMAP Medley,” which was included as a B-side to their debut single, “Can’t Stop!! -LOVING-.”

SMAP’s 45th single, from the group that sadly disbanded in 2016.

It was the theme song for “SMAP×SMAP” at the time, right? I heard the song was actually provided by the music duo Love Psychedelico.

When you listen to it, you can kind of feel their vibe, can’t you? Their self-cover is also really good, so definitely give it a listen.

In 2006, it was selected as the theme song for sports broadcasts on TV Asahi, including coverage of the FIFA World Cup.

The title “buzzer beater” is said to be derived from terminology used in basketball and ice hockey.

The intro features a soulful bassline and a lively horn section that is sure to get you pumped up.

If you haven’t heard it yet, definitely give it a listen!

The Beginning SongSMAP48rank/position

SMAP - The Beginning Song (Live)

Every time I listen to this song, my heart resets and I feel ready to try again.

It tells me it’s okay to go at my own pace.

And if I get down or lose my rhythm, it will always be there to support me.

It’s a song like that.

In this unpredictable, one-of-a-kind moment, it helps me do my best in my own way.

The Only Flower in the World – SMAP

A song released in 2003 has transcended time and generations and continues to be loved today.

You still often hear the public’s heartfelt calls for “SMAP to reunite!” The song was written and composed by Noriyuki Makihara, who is said to have hurriedly finished it under a tight deadline.

Its lyrics—conveying the message that “you don’t have to aim to be number one; each and every person is special”—recall Misuzu Kaneko’s poem “We’re all different, and that’s all right.” How about singing this song when someone asks for “just one number!” at a birthday party? It’s a highly recommended track that brings everyone present together in a shared sense of unity.
