Following the recent announcement made by SixTONES during their celebration of their 10th naming anniversary, we will be posting a 10-day countdown to introduce some of the songs that will be available for streaming on 17th May 2025!
Released as part of their debut single “Imitation Rain” in January 2020, “NEW WORLD” showcases SixTONES’ dynamic energy and unity. The music video is notable for its one-take, selfie-style filming approach, offering an intimate and unfiltered glimpse into the group’s friendship that is undeniably one of the things fans love the most about SixTONES. This creative choice highlights their authenticity and connection with fans.
The “NEW WORLD” music video was filmed in the Roppongi area of Tokyo, specifically along the path from Roppongi Midtown to Akasaka Elementary School. This location, being in close proximity to the agency’s old office, has become a popular spot for fans to visit and recreate scenes from the video. Fans have shared their experiences of visiting these locations, noting the sense of connection it brings to the group’s journey
The unique filming style of the “NEW WORLD” MV has inspired fans to create their own versions, often retracing the steps taken by the members in the original video. This form of engagement has fostered a deeper connection between SixTONES and their fanbase, allowing supporters to actively participate in the group’s creative expression.
Lyrically, “NEW WORLD” delves into themes of perseverance, unity, and the pursuit of dreams. The song reflects the group’s journey, highlighting the challenges they’ve overcome and their commitment to forging a new path together. Lines like “Like real stones” symbolize their solid bond and determination to shine in the music industry.

We asked SixTONES fans about their thoughts on the music video and song:
I like new world song because although most of the times the songs they do are too rock for me, I think this one has the right point to not lose the essence of sixtones and at the same time reach another kind of audience that maybe doesn’t feel so comfortable with that style of music. Also the lyrics are very nice, they encourage you to keep trying to achieve what you want to achieve even if things go wrong a thousand times. So I think I can say that I like it 💎 alwayseatgyozas
It doesn’t matter how many years pass—this MV still hits like the first time. I still remember hearing it live during TrackONE IMPACT, and the emotional impact it had on me.
There’s no flashy production, no big budget, just SixTONES being themselves. But that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. The rawness, the joy, the unity—it captures the beginning of something real.
And the song? It’s their story. From “a chance encounter that started our story” to “this must be a miracle,” it’s a love letter to the journey they’ve walked together.
Even now, with bigger stages and polished visuals, “NEW WORLD” remains a reminder of where it all started. A treasure. A promise. A miracle.
Thank you, SixTONES, for sharing this road with us. Always.

SixTONES, for me, and their songs are some of the consistent reasons I keep going in life. And when I say songs, the song at the topmost list is honestly and most definitely NEW WORLD.
NEW WORLD has been, still is, and will always be THAT song I listen to over and over and over again whenever I am at my downest in life, whenever the last person I believe in and have confidence in is myself. This is the song that always reminds me that every time I am at my lowest, every time I feel so stuck and unsure where my life will bring me, and every time I feel like a failure, there is nothing wrong to keep trying again and again…just try and try and try and never give up on life. There is no limit in the number of tries we have to take in life and don’t lot other people tell you otherwise. Eventually, you will reach your desired destination…the destination meant for you.💎DetectiveKyomon
