Cool & very interesting as this's the 1st time for something like this to happen

And a VPN is required to access GYAO with it being region block

I think it's taken down
I found a lyrics PV in YouTube, is that it?

^ That didn't take long to get taken down via GYAO o_O

Luckily there's bilibili to fall back on

HSJ doesn't appear in the Stupid PV

The song is nice & very edgy different

Song wise , Stupid is probably HSJ's most Westernised influenced song to date

Not that it's a bad thing cos I actually like the song even though some parts of the song lyrically are a bit questionable

Happy birthday Yamada , he officially turns 27

HSJ has a new CM with Kose's Kose Cosmeport Perfect Eraser concealer

Johnnys to produce charity song with special unit composed of 76 artists

Quote:

In continuation of the charity activities of its “Smile Up! Project”, Johnnys Jimusho announced that they will be releasing a charity song “smile”. A limited time unit “Twenty★Twenty” will be formed consisting of 76 people from 15 groups. Mr. Children’s Sakurai Kazutoshi, who himself is active in a lot of charity works, is in charge of writing and composing the song. Details of the music release will be announced later on.

Sakurai, who wrote and composed the song “smile”, said “I am very honoured to be able to participate in this project in the form of providing music. I could write the lyrics because it was based on the assumption that Johnny’s would sing this song.

One of the lines of the song goes “But don’t forget [I can see your smile] That’s the only thing I need to live.” Sakurai added “I think there’s no one better than Johnnys singing this phrase.”

This is not the first time Johnnys has released a charity song. In December 1997 “J-FRIENDS” was formed in support of the Great Hanshin- Awaji earthquake which occurred in January 1995. The unit was active until 2003 and the proceeds were donated to disaster relief activities.

President Johnny Kitagawa, who died last year, has envisioned a grand project to form a limited-time unit Twenty★Twenty for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. With Kitagawa’s passing and the Olympics postponed, producer Takizawa Hideaki is fulfilling his dream with a different purpose and with debuted artists included for the project.
