新しい世界・新しい時代の幕開けを感じさせ、輝く景色が目の前に広がってくるような曲。

02. Magic of Love
The song's lovely piano intro and cheerful singing style are even refreshing, but the sad lyrics make one's heart tighten slightly. The members sing with all their hearts, "You" are so far away that I can't see you even if I wanted to, but I'll always be thinking of you.
The bass line that moves in a wide range of notes and the dramatic guitar solo in the interlude heighten the excitement and draw you into the world of the song, and the highlight of this song is the last part where Nagase sings the next phrase slightly overlapping Takahashi's phrase. I hope you will enjoy the gentle yet sad world created by the two.
03. 明日は明日の風が吹く
Lively horn section, playful sound selections. The joyful sound seems to lightly blow away life's little disappointments and unwitting resignations.
If not today, the wind may change direction tomorrow. When the wind changes direction, it is up to your own actions to seize the luck and opportunities. Even if it doesn't work out once, let's try again and again! This song keeps pushing us, even if it doesn't work out. It is an encouragement song with the melancholy when things don't go well and the relaxed encouragement exquisitely expressed in King & Prince's voice.
04. Big Bang
This is a heavy and slow unit song by Sho Hirano and Kaito Takahashi.The lyrics, "Open a hole in this hard world" and "Big bang to wake you up," express a quiet fighting spirit on the verge of exploding. The low-pitched rap and disturbing melody make the listener's heart flutter.
The contrast between Takahashi's upper style and Hirano's downer voice further enhances the impact of this song, and the addition of the Japanese string element brings a rare presence to the song.
05. 僕のワルツ
A waltz song with sweet lyrics and melody to the ear and a relaxed rhythm that is comfortable for the body. The song's straightforward, almost bashful phrases, such as "I love you, I love you, I love you," will reach your heart effortlessly, wrapped up in the serenity of the song. Whether this song of boundless compassion for a loved one brings healing or a crush may be a matter of opinion.
Of particular note is Yuta Kishi's whispery singing and Sho Hirano's emotionally expressive voice. Kishi's song at the beginning of the song instantly shows the direction of the song, and Hirano's last song gives a long aftertaste. I hope you will take the time to enjoy this song, which is overflowing with the tenderness of each member, in a quiet environment.
06. 君がいる世界
The gentle lyrics and piano tone of this ballad, which accompanies anxiety and negativity, and the message that you are not alone, are heartwarming. The singer's manner of singing is soft and steady from beginning to end, never forcing the listener to look forward, saying, "If you can take one step forward, it's okay to take a break for a while.
The world we live in today includes both glamour and sadness. Even if you are tempted to turn away from the painful reality and cover your ears, King & Prince will gently wrap you in their arms and tell you that we will be there for you, and that you should try to feel people's thoughts and connections with others.
