Featured Song Spotlight
1. Telepathy / IS:SUE
Taking the top spot is IS:SUE's new song 'Telepathy.' Written as the theme song for the TV anime 'Candy Caries,' the song has garnered attention for evoking the image of 'minds connecting beyond words,' as its title suggests. In addition to its tie-in with the anime, IS:SUE's unique sophisticated worldview is a major attraction. It has been announced for inclusion in IS:SUE's first full album 'QUARTET,' releasing May 20th, and the passion of fans eagerly awaiting its official release is reflected in its number one ranking.
The Rise of Audition-Born Groups: Anticipation for New Songs Dominates the Ranking
This ranking saw songs by groups born from audition programs, and their members, occupying the top spots. Number one's IS:SUE is a group formed through the survival audition program 'PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS.' Number two's ROIROM also gained significant attention through their appearance on 'timelesz project -AUDITION-.' SHUNTO (BE:FIRST) and BE:FIRST, ranking 3rd and 4th, and STARGLOW at 5th, are all artists born from BMSG's audition projects. The appeal of these artists lies not only in their music but also in the fact that fans have watched over the growth and challenges of each member over a long period. Projects focusing on individual expression, like SHUNTO's (BE:FIRST) solo track, hold special meaning for fans who know their journey, further heightening interest in the song's message and lyrics. The very act of waiting for a song's completion has become a great source of enjoyment for fans. This ranking shows that the strong bond between artists and fans, nurtured through auditions, is significantly boosting anticipation for new music.
