"&Joy" (pronounced Enjoy) is the 33rd single by Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2.[1] The song was released on streaming and download services ahead of its physical CD release on December 31, 2025, and its music video was simultaneously made available on YouTube.[2]

Overview

[edit]

The title song "&Joy" delivers an uplifting message, encouraging listeners to enjoy vibrant days together with Kis-My-Ft2 by finding and collecting small moments of joy and happiness, even when everyday life feels overwhelming. It is characterized by a bright, euphoric sound.[3]

The music video reflects the song's colorful worldview, featuring an abstract space inspired by urban scenery. The members’ natural smiles leave a strong impression, creating a cheerful and enjoyable video.[4]

The choreography combines a mature coolness with playful pop elements designed to make both dancers and viewers feel uplifted. In particular, the catchy formation in which the members dance in a single line during the chorus is highlighted as a key point of interest. As 2026 marks the 15th anniversary of Kis-My-Ft2's debut, “&Joy” serves as a vibrant opening to a milestone year for the group.[2][5]

Other songs

[edit]

The coupling track “A Cha Cha Cha” was released on August 11, 2025, as the group's first digital single, and its music video was made available on YouTube on the same day.

The song is themed around “summer, adulthood, composure, and playfulness,” and is built on a 1990s boom bap hip-hop sound, featuring catchy phrases and playful word choices that evoke a slightly mature summer atmosphere for Kis-My-Ft2.[6]

The music video portrays scenes of the members enjoying themselves poolside with glamorous women, emphasizing the concept of a more adult summer song.[7]

Included in the regular edition, “Luminar” is a dazzling track that captures those everyday moments when the heart tightens. It features melodies and harmonies that reflect Kis-My-Ft2’s “present,” wrapping listeners in a gentle, soft atmosphere—truly a Reiwa era winter ballad from the group.

“Silence” addresses modern issues such as social media and smartphone dependence, where people walking down the street seem expressionless and disconnected. The song poses the question: “In a world closed off as if under noise cancellation, what is it that truly matters?” It warns of the importance of genuinely sensing human relationships—through our eyes, ears, and words—and sheds light on the lack of real-world connection and communication in society today.[8]
