Good night, TaxiMON7A

[MON7A] "Good Night Taxi" (Music Video)

This is MON7A’s debut single, released on August 7, 2025.

It’s been getting a lot of attention, with over 80,000 UGC posts on TikTok and reaching as high as No.

4 on the LINE MUSIC real-time chart! It has a very current vibe, so it’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to sing a trending song.

The vocals are delivered in a smooth, spoken-flow style, without any belted sections, so it’s relatively easy to sing.

Outside of the chorus, there are many spots where the words flow continuously.

If you sing each phrase carefully one by one—like stepping up a staircase—you’ll capture the smooth feel that suits this track.

Overall, if you forget to breathe, you’ll run out of air, so remember to take quick breaths in brief pauses! It’s under three minutes and quite short, so definitely try memorizing it!

This is an ambitious work from BE:FIRST overflowing with upbeat messages and youthful passion.

Its powerful, hope-filled beat, melodies that sing of bonds with friends, and lyrics that convey determination for the future come together beautifully.

Showcasing the distinctive vocals of every member, this piece is sure to be a reassuring anthem for anyone striving toward their dreams.

Starting in November 2024, it was selected as the ending theme for the Fish-Man Island arc of the TV anime ONE PIECE, and in February 2025 it was included on the double A-side single “Spacecraft / Sailing.” It’s a song I especially recommend to those chasing dreams with their friends or about to take a new step forward.
