On June 23, a new unit composed of RUNG HYANG, claquepot, and Mukai Taichi will make their debut with the digital EP “PARK.” The trio of close friends decided to come together last year during the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to help the world through music.
“PARK” is composed of four songs. The title track, which was produced last year, opens the release. It is followed by two new songs, “So Good” and “Flow.” “PARK” closes with a remix of the title track, courtesy of m-flo‘s ☆Taku Takahashi.
The music video for “Flow” was released in tandem with the digital EP. It’s a breezy and bassy R&B song that’s perfect for summer! Check it out below!

Sakurai Sho will serve as host for the show, just how he has in previous years. Before, he pulled double duty as host and as a member of Arashi, but that has now changed, and Sho believes that this change will allow him to devote himself more to being a better host, as opposed to also having to focus on his performance as well.
Sho will be joined by Nippon TV announcers Hatori Shinichi, Miura Asami, and Ichiki Rena, as well as Bakarhythm to assist in his hosting duties.
The first set of performers for “THE MUSIC DAY” has been revealed, and it includes Snow Man, along with 10 other Johnny’s groups. Official HIGE DANdism and Aimyon will also make their debut on the show this year. See who else is going to perform below!
