I actually saw the video before hearing the song and when I witnessed these fellows dancing and prancing about on a pastel-coloured football gridiron, I had initially assumed that this was a K-Pop group doing their latest. Such was not the case, of course.
Actually, it's Johnny's group Hey! Say! JUMP with their latest, "Negative Fighter", which was released only a few weeks ago on May 12th. Written and composed by a Japanese Tik Tok user and influencer named Mai Ujita（うじたまい）, "Negative Fighter" is all about kicking the blues away and, gosh darn, getting up and at 'em. It's actually quite nice and catchy and disco-esque, and I wouldn't be surprised if Hey! Say! JUMP ended up doing another round with this song at this year's Kohaku Utagassen on NHK.
The group's 29th single once again hit No. 1 on Oricon, and it's quite incredible to see that every single by Hey! Say! JUMP has reached the top spot ever since their debut back in 2007. So far, it's already sold over 200,000 copies. And hey, the song has even reached the ears, eyes and limbs of song-and-dance group Atarashii Gakko no Leaders（新しい学校のリーダーズ）!
