■Snow Man will perform “You Are Boku no Mono,” the theme song for the drama starring Watanabe Shota!
“You Are My One” is a bright, classic pop tune, perfect for summer, and is the latest single. A sweet love song with a sound that evokes the sparkling scenery of summer, singing about the feelings of someone who has realized they are in love, and Watanabe said, “It’s a melody line that really makes you feel the summer! The choreography includes a lot of L poses, which makes it easy to imitate, as it’s a love song.”

■TWICE performed two songs from their latest album!
TWICE will be performing two songs from their latest album, “DIVE” and “Here I am,” in full length on TV for the first time. The album’s title song, “DIVE,” is attractive for its lyrics that sing of straightforward feelings, “boldly dive into me,” and the strong and sweet lyrics on a refreshing sound make it a highly addictive song. The performance of the sub-lead song “Here I am” is also worth paying attention to.

Jihyo said, “‘DIVE’ and ‘Here I am’ are polar opposites, so pay attention to that!” Mina also mentioned the highlights of the song, saying, “‘DIVE’ is a song that you can listen to casually, while ‘Here I am’ is a song where you can see a cool performance.”

■Number_i will be performing a special version of the song “BON” produced by Hirano Sho!
The ambitious work “BON” is based on the theme of “bonsai” and features intense rap and dance that intricately interweaves Japanese seasonal customs and unique elements such as the Bon Odori dance. Hirano commented, “This time, we will be showing an even more powerful version of BON with the addition of dancers.”

Comments from other great artists arrived one after another. Tamio Okuda, who will be performing “Sasurai” and “Ai no Tame ni” to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his solo career, made the unexpected declaration, “‘Ai no Tame ni’ is a song from 30 years ago, so I can’t sing it without looking at the cue card!”

Sheena Ringo and Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders, who will be performing their collaborative song “Doraichi Dokusou” on television for the first time, commented, “Highlights include SUZUKA’s commanding voice and the sharp gazes of MIZYU, RIN, and KANON” (Sheena Ringo) and “Please enjoy the stage where Sheena Ringo and we, Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders, coexist” (Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders).

Yuzu will be performing “Fusen Kaishuu,” the theme song for the drama “Minami-kun is a Lover!?” and commented on the highlights of the show, “It’s Yuzu’s new summer song, so we want to make it as exciting as possible. We’re planning a performance using the entire stage that is linked to “Fusen Kaishuu,” so we hope you’ll pay attention to that as well.”

■The usual Toshl 3-choice series, this time we have 3 Showa and Heisei hit songs to sing as hard rock!
The popular special feature “Toshl’s 3 Choices” is the “Showa and Heisei Hit Songs” that Toshl wants to sing as hard rock. The first candidate song that Toshl chose from the famous songs of the Showa and Heisei eras is the classic love ballad “I LOVE YOU” by Yutaka Ozaki. The second song is “Princess Mononoke” by Yoshikazu Mera, the theme song of the Ghibli movie, and the third song is the famous song “Eiko no Hashi” by studio guest Yuzu. Which song will Toshl sing as hard rock?

On M-Station’s official YouTube channel, two special videos, “Behind the Scenes of Toshl’s Song Selection” and “Behind the Scenes of CG Filming”, are now available. Be sure to check them out too.

■NEWS Masuda and Shimizu Miisa choose from 3 duets!
There will also be a three-choice duet project between Masuda Takahisa (NEWS) and Shimizu Miisa. Masuda, who is renowned for his singing ability, and Shimizu, a diva whose voice has even been recognized by Disney, will be running a live audience voting project called “Reiwa’s 100 Million-Yen J-POP! Three Duet Choices.” From the top 20 J-POP songs in terms of subscription plays announced for the Reiwa era, Masuda and Shimizu chose three songs as candidates: Official Hige Dandism’s “Subtitle,” Fujii Kaze’s “Kirari,” and Aimyon’s “Hadaka no Kokoro.” This time, they will be singing songs that are not duets as special duets.
