Description:

The title of Arashi's 14th original album is "Japonism". It is an exquisite work of entertainment that expresses the very best of the "Japan" they were born and raised in, and have seen, heard, touched, and felt through their activities as artists, in order to take a new step forward after their 15th anniversary, and to look ahead to the future. It has been one year since the last album "THE DIGITALIAN", which was released with the concept of fusion of digital and human, and showcased a high level of quality throughout the album and concerts. In order to continue to evolve further, we are once again reviewing the Japan we are in, and Arashi. The more we look back, the more we naturally feel gratitude to Japan, and the theme of this new album is "Japan = Gratitude". The title "Japonism" reflects the concept of looking at Japan from various angles, and one of the lead songs is "Kokoro no Sora", written and arranged by London-based Tomoyasu Hotei. The album also includes 14 original songs, including solo songs, that are rich in variety, such as a fusion of Japanese pop, funk, Japanese instruments, and digital music.The album includes 16 songs in total, including two of their big hit singles from the first half of this year, "Sakura" and "Aozora no Shita, Kimi no Tonari", as well as the highly anticipated songs and performances from their 5-dome tour that will be held from November to December. (*The single "Ai wo Kakerube" released on September 2 is not included. DISC2 contains 4 bonus tracks, including "Furusato," which has been long-awaited since its release in 2010. The 2-CD set contains 20 songs in total. A lyrics booklet (36 pages) is enclosed. The main visual of the jacket is different for the "Limited First Edition", "Yotoko Edition", and "Normal Edition".
