■SEVENTEEN comments
SEVENTEEN BEST ALBUM “17 IS RIGHT HERE” was able to take first place in the Oricon weekly album ranking.
Thanks to everyone at CARAT who always supports us.
thank you very much.
This best album is a compilation of the past, present, and future. Please listen to our progress over the past 9 years.
The title song “MAESTRO” uses the keyword “MAESTRO” which means “conductor” and “a person who is recognized by everyone in one field”, and is “a diverse group of us coming together to conduct our world.” This song has the meaning of “Let’s move forward, lead the flow, and become the best.”
Please listen to it a lot and love it!
Stadium tour starts soon! We are looking forward to meeting everyone at CARAT!
