Edge of Days is Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2's 25th single, released on November 13, 2019, by Avex Trax.[1]
Overview
[edit]This was the first single in about four months since the previous single "Hands Up". The title song is the theme song for the TV Tokyo drama Million Joe starring Hiromitsu Kitayama.[2]
The music video for the song tells the story of the members dressed as spies trying to find the trump card "Joker" in order to shine a ray of hope in the world.[3] Kitayama plays a thief, Kento Senga is a sniper, Toshiya Miyata is a hacker, Wataru Yokoo is a locksmith, Taisuke Fujigaya is a biker, Yuta Tamamori is a thinker, and Takashi Nikaido is a bomb disposal agent. The video also includes a dance performance of the seven members in conjunction with moving lights.[3]
The coupling song "Mr. Fresh", which is included in all forms of the album, is the commercial song for Unicharm's "Wave Floor Wiper", starring Yuta Tamamori, who is also a member of the group.[4] The music video, produced under the theme of "everyday" and "extraordinary", is set on a train reminiscent of a New York subway in the U.S., and features a glamorous, club-like atmosphere. The members give an extraordinary performance using suspension straps and poles inside the train, which is decorated in a club-like atmosphere.[4]
The coupling song "Koakuma Lip" included in the standard edition is the theme song for dTV (Lemino)'s "Kiss My Dokidokiun" featuring the members.
The first pressing disc A includes the music video and making document of the title song. The first pressing B includes the music video of "Mr. Fresh" and "Kis-My-Tv (Who's cheating you?)" and "Kis-My-Tv (Funny Sports)". The regular edition includes the coupling song "Innocent".
