"Curtain Call" (カーテンコール) is the 32nd single by Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2. It was released on January 8, 2025.

Overview

The title track, "Curtain Call," is about the sex appeal of adults as the members of Kis-My-Ft2 transport the audience into an unrealistic world like a scene from a movie.[1] The music video features intense dance scenes as well as sexy scenes that only their thirties can express, and has received more than 6.5 million views on YouTube within a week of its release.[2] Since one of the members, Takashi Nikaido, had been on medical leave since September of the previous year, this song was recorded by the five members except Nikaido. However, in the music video, they performed with a space left open for one person to indicate Nikaido's place. Also, in the TV music show they appeared in for promotion, the vacant space was illuminated by a green spotlight, Nikaido's member color, suggesting Nikaido's presence.

The song "Meramera" on the B-Side is the opening theme song for the 2025 anime series Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ Deluxe Arc in which Miyata also voices its lead character Akina Myodo; he also takes on the center role in singing the song's lyrics and performing the music video's dance sequences with the other members.[3] The music video's inclusion of a dance performance was a request by Miyata, who wished for kids "who know Kis-My-Ft2 from the anime to think it's cool too."[4] The music video also features a dynamic dance scene in which 24 dancers and Kis-My-Ft2's performance are fused together. The music video, too, has received more than 4.2 million views on YouTube in just one month since its release.[1]

"Shindo" is a duo song by Tamamori and Miyata. "Shindo" is a Japanese word with a wide range of negative meanings, such as "I am tired of" or "It's tough." This is the fourth duo song by Tamamori and Miyata. Tamamori said that in discussions during the production process, they decided on this song with the phrase "Shindo" because they wanted to "put some interesting phrases in the new song."[5] Since it was titled "Shindo," the two also did a physically tiring promotion of 32 push-ups.[6]

"Yummy, lovely night" is a trio song by Fujigaya, Yokoo, and Senga. This is the second song by the three since "ConneXion" on the 21st single Love. In this song, the lyric "Yummy, lovely night," which is also the title of the song, was intended to be misheard as the Japanese word "yamerarenai" ("I can't stop").[7] In promoting the single, the three talk about habits they have recently found themselves unable to stop or wanting to stop.[8][9][10]

The Family Club Online Shop Limited Edition includes a digest video of the special event "The Witch and the Six Sleeping Princes" held on August 10, 2024, as well as their performance videos "Loved One" and "Connecting!" from their Tokyo performance of Kis-My-Ft2 Dome Tour 2024 Synopsys. In addition, there are solo videos by the five members "Room short version" and "Elevator short version" of "Curtain Call" music videos.[11]

The world view of "Curtain Call"

Is this reality or a dream? It is as if Kis-My-Ft2 is leading listeners into a scene from a movie.[12][13] Avexnet describes the world of this song as follows. You ride an elevator to the basement of a building in the metropolis, where you find the members of Kis-My-Ft2 dressed in chic suits. There, their secret shows are held on a purple stage. They captivate with their daring and graceful dance. Waiting beyond is an apartment divided into six glass-walled rooms, where you can peek into their off-screen lives. Yuta Tamamori's room has a bathtub and a vase of flowers, revealing the muscles in Tamamori's back that he worked out for the TV series (I Wanna Punch That Scumbag!) he was filming at this time. Toshiya Miyata lounges on the bed in his bare shirt, while Taisuke Fujigaya plays with fruit, takes a shower, and does not hide his sexiness. Kento Senga, dressed in a black tank top, looks provocatively at the camera in the pink lighting, while Wataru Yokoo sits on the sofa with a glass of rocks in his hand and a melancholy expression on his face. The room with the single-seat sofa in the upper left corner is Takashi Nikaido's room, and the fact that Nikaido's place is vacated at the end of the dance indicates that Kis-My-Ft2 is a six-member group.[4]

Commercial performance
