NEWS is one of Johnny’s signature male idol groups.

The song released in 2005 is from their era as a nine-member group.

It’s a passionate yet refreshing cheer anthem themed around pursuing dreams and inner growth.

It was also the image song for the 2003 Volleyball World Cup, making it perfect for anyone giving their all in sports.

It’s a classic that conveys a positive message and the members’ bond.

I’d love for everyone who takes on challenges to give it a listen.

Hitoshi Shimono feat. Toshihiko Takamizawa (Hitoshi x Takamiy) – Black or White

This is a fiery instrumental track created by the iconic slap bassist Hitoshi Shimono and THE ALFEE’s guitarist Toshihiko Takamizawa.

It was written as the theme song for V.LEAGUE, a semi-professional volleyball league that began in 2018.

The arrangement blends tension and exhilaration, really getting your adrenaline pumping.

And since there are no vocals, it fits any situation.

True to its title, it’s an emotional piece that stirs the fighting spirit to “settle it once and for all!”

ALL MY TRUE LOVESPEED

SPEED – All My True Love MV

This song, resounding with the lively vocals of SPEED—the girl group that defined an era—was used as the theme song for the 1998 Volleyball World Championship.

It was SPEED’s first maxi single and became a million seller.

While it’s not a typical “fight song,” the lyrics, which convey the spirit of pushing forward with your teammates no matter what, give courage to anyone striving together with others.

Along with those words, SPEED’s bright, energetic singing and cool dance performance also give you strength.

MAX / Shinin’ on – Shinin’ love

Sexy Zone ｢Sexy Zone｣ (short ver.)

Released as Sexy Zone’s debut single and sharing the same title as the group name, this song was chosen as the image song for the 2011 FIVB World Cup.

While many cheer songs are bright and high-energy, this one doesn’t go for that vibe—instead, it’s a sexy and cool anthem.

It carries the message that even when you’re struggling or feeling down, believe in yourself and keep working toward the dream you’ve envisioned.

It’s a song filled with hope, saying that if you do your best, you can create a magnificent view before you.
