New Single from Naniwa Danshi

Johnny’s boyband Naniwa Danshi will release a new single titled Special Kiss on March 8th.

The upbeat title song is currently in play as the Japanese national TV CM campaign theme song for Benesse “Shinken Zemi”; a home study program for elementary and junior high school students for which the members of Naniwa Danshi are official PR ambassadors across a variety of media and offline events.

The B-side Seishun Rhapsody is said to be a “high energy power pop anthem about the celebration of youth”, and it just became available for streaming worldwide exclusively via YouTube and YouTube Music recently.

The physical single will be available in three editions. In addition to the two aforementioned songs, Limited Editions 1 and 2 will each feature an exclusive third track and its instrumental version. They will also come with a Blu-ray disc or DVD with the music video and making-of footage for either Special Kiss or Seishun Rhapsody. The CD-only regular edition will feature two exclusive tracks and karaoke versions of its four songs.
