Naniwa Danshi is stepping up their digital music game! Starting Friday, November 22, their first-ever digital single โArigatou Kokoro Kara / Yuuki 100%โ will be available for streaming and download across all major platforms.
This highly anticipated single includes โArigatou Kokoro Kara,โ a heartfelt theme song for the upcoming movie “Nintama Rantarou: Dokutake Ninja-tai Saikyou no Gunshi,” premiering December 20. With its moving message about cherishing lifeโs simple joys and expressing gratitude to loved ones, this medium-tempo ballad is sure to touch your heart. The film also stars members Ryusei Onishi and Joichiro “Jo” Fujiwara as guest voice actors.
Naniwa Danshi also shoulders the iconic Hikaru Genji song โYuuki 100%,โ a “Nintama Rantarou” theme song that has been loved across generations for over 30 years. The fresh and beloved Kansai group joins groups like Hey! Say! JUMP, Ya-Ya-Yah, and NYC in the legacy of covering the song for the anime.

This drop of digitally available music arrives perfectly in time before the group’s Asia tour starts in Taipei before heading to Seoul and Hongkong! The boys are embarking on their first-ever tour outside Japan, and fans are already gearing themselves up for the tour. The +Alpha tour in Japan was a magical experience, taking you on an extraterrestrial journey the whole show.
One of my favorite songs from the +Alpha album is Live in the moment, and watching it live felt like time stood still for a moment, and you truly lived in that moment. It’s a true anthem call, and the opening sequence of the song gave you chills and the whole arena joined in singing, uniting the boys and all the fans alike into one entity. With fireworks and fire heating even the stands near the main stage, Naniwa Danshi truly showed us what it means to live in the moment.
With the upcoming Asia tour, Naniwa Danshi is able to share their magic and entertainment with more people and beloved fans. Jo previously commented, “We are beyond excited to share our music and unique Naniwa energy with our fans all over the world! Finally, everyone can join the party!“
The group truly brings out the best of entertainment, captivating audiences with their incredible talent and charisma, and itโs such a joy watching them on stage, as they effortlessly blend music, dance, and storytelling to create an unforgettable experience that resonates with everyone present, leaving them eager for more and filled with the contagious energy that only they can deliver.
“Our first-ever international concert tour is a dream come true, and we can’t wait to connect and make memories that will last forever with our worldwide Nani-Fam!,” Jo also said, and it’s clear that along with the Asia tour, being available on streaming is an amazing opportunity that will allow fans from all corners of the globe to join in the experience, even if they can’t be there in person. This tour not only signifies their growth as artists but also represents a beautiful chance to strengthen the bond with their fansโJapanese and international Nani-Fam alikeโsharing their music and stories while creating a collective experience that transcends borders and brings us all closer together.
