October 8 marks a brand-new treat from Hey! Say! JUMP: their latest digital single, “GHOST.” Dressed in equal parts dark and playful, this Halloween track sneaks up on listeners like the very specters it celebrates.
“GHOST” captures the thrill of late-night mischief. Classical strings clash and dance with digital beats, while cheeky lyrics bring apprentice ghosts to life—spirits so eager to scare humans that they pop up here, there, and everywhere. The group’s signature rich vocals give the song a special glow, embodying characters that are spooky, cool, yet somehow too lovable to resist. It’s a track that almost demands you dance along (and you just might).
The choreography is as much a highlight as the song itself. Crafted by Kaito “Chaka” Miyachika of Travis Japan alongside Macoto (RHT.), the routine is a clever blend of sharp, precise beats and whimsical ghost-like gestures. Every count is tightly caught, yet hidden within are playful moves that mirror the lyrics’ mischief—a visual that promises to make fans want to join in the fun.
Adding to the excitement, the music video for “GHOST” will premiere on Hey! Say! JUMP’s official YouTube channel on October 8 at 9:00 PM JST. The MV teaser teases a world where dark whimsy and playful chaos intertwine, heightening the seasonal mood.
And for the first time in their career, the group is also launching a digital download campaign. Fans who download “GHOST” from participating platforms and enter via the special site will receive an exclusive original image (designs vary depending on the platform). More information coming!
There’s a line from the official announcement that lingers like a promise: “Could this be the start of something new…? Let’s all dance the night away!” For JUMP and their fans, “GHOST” feels like more than a Halloween song—it’s a chance to play together in the dark, to laugh with shadows, and to embrace the mischief of the season side by side.
“GHOST” will be available sequentially on all digital platforms starting October 8 at 12:00 AM JST.
