As Naniwa Danshi prepares to celebrate the 5th anniversary of their CD debut in November of this year, this latest album is packed with the classic pop music that Naniwa Danshi continues to cherish and preserve, transforming the scenery they’ve witnessed over half a decade into a source of strength. Each track is a dazzling, glittering step on their unending journey to deliver bouquets of love, courage, and smiles to the whole world.

In addition to previously released singles “Asymmetry,” “Black Nightmare,” “Never Romantic,” and “HARD WORK,” the Digital Special Edition includes 11 brand-new songs for you to fully enjoy everything Naniwa Danshi has to offer, including the album’s lead track “Celebrate,” “Be My Baby” (the theme song for the hit feature film "Yamaguchi-kun Isn’t So Bad" starring member Kyohei Takahashi), and the happy, groovy rap tune “Gimme The Day” that also doubles as the official commercial song for Japan's nationwide amusement chain ROUND1 for which Naniwa Danshi also serves as ambassador.

Other standouts include “Nanairo day by day,” written by Yujin Kitagawa of Yuzu as their first collaboration since 2022's “Sachiare,” as well as “Bokugakawaikute Kimigakawaikute" (meaning "I’m Cute and You’re Cute”) by Kenichi Maeyamada (aka Hyadain), who also wrote their Junior-era (pre-debut) original song "Bokuzora ~Ashiato no Nai Mirai~” (meaning: "Our Sky: A Future without Footprints").

For physical media loyalists and collectors, there are also four different CD editions (as well as a FAMILY CLUB.STORE ONLINE Exclusive), each themed to a classic Naniwa Danshi artistic concept and packed with exclusive bonus material and making-of featurettes!
