The members are:
大倉忠義 (Ohkura Tadayoshi - green ranger)
村上信五 (Murakami Shingo - purple ranger)
丸山隆平 (Maruyama Ryuhei - orange ranger)
安田章大 (Yasuda Shota - blue ranger)
横山裕 (Yokoyama You - black ranger)
Ex-member:
内博貴 (Uchi Hiroki - He has never been a ranger, because he left before they started as rangers)
渋谷すばる (Shibutani Subaru - red ranger)
錦戸亮 (Nishikido Ryo - yellow ranger)
The members are known for being very close, possibly even the closest in all of Johnny's, shown by their annual barbecues and birthday celebrations together. In concerts they have been known to dress up as "Kanjani Sentai 8 Ranger" and do skits. Their ranger outfits of course are in their image colors.
In December 2002 the group was created out of members of Kansai Juniors. At the time, the 7 members excluding Ōkura Tadayoshi were appearing on the TV program "J3 KANSAI" on Kansai TV. In the Kansai area, Kansai TV is on channel 8, so Johnny Kitagawa added another member, Ōkura Tadayoshi, to match the channel number. Shortly after their formation, they held their first concert, titled "Kanjani8 Xmas Party 2002" at the Osaka Shouchikuza theater, where they performed their first song as an 8-member group, Do you agree?.
On August 25th, 2004 they released their first single, Naniwa Iroha Bushi which was first limited to the Kansai area but later (September 22nd) was released nationally as well. The limited-release CD debuted at a record #1 on the Oricon Enka chart, and a #8 on the overall chart. The nationwide release reached #1 on both the Enka and overall charts. At this time, the numerical "8" in their name was turned onto its side and made into an infinity symbol (∞).
Heavenly Psycho
関ジャニ∞ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そこに僕の姿が無くても世界は簡単に廻った
でもこうして繋いだ手 ひとりじゃないね
胸に Heavenly Psycho 今は未来に向かう道の途中だ
涙にさえも戸惑う事無く 願いを歌う
そう言ってはみ出してから 行き着く場所に限界は無くなった
不安だって分かりあって笑ってたいね
夢に Heavenly Psycho 叫んだ声だけが空に響いた
だから何回も試してみるんだ 希望の歌
目の前の闇をかき分けて 届くまで...
震える想いに また昇る太陽
胸に Heavenly Psycho 今は未来に向かう道の途中だ
涙にさえも戸惑う事無く 願いを歌う
夢に Heavenly Psycho 叫んだ声だけが空に響いた
だから何回も試してみるんだ 希望の歌
希望の歌
These lyrics from 関ジャニ∞'s song Heavenly Psycho reflect the struggles and hopes of the singer as they navigate their way through life. The first stanza describes how the world keeps turning even if he is not part of it, but he finds solace in the fact that he is not alone, as he is joined by someone who holds his hand. This person is a source of strength for him and reminds him that he is not alone in his journey towards the future.
The second stanza talks about how the singer is tired of answering the same old questions and longing for a different kind of tomorrow. He decides to break free and explore the unknown, where there are no limits to where he can go. He seeks comfort in the idea that he is not the only one who feels anxious and wants to find a reason to laugh.
The chorus of the song talks about how the singer's dream of a better future is like a heavenly psycho that echoes out into the sky. Even though their voice might be small, they keep trying and singing in the hope that their wishes will come true. The lyrics suggest that the future is not set in stone, but rather something that can be shaped and influenced by our actions.
Overall, the song paints a picture of someone who is searching for meaning and purpose in their life. Despite the challenges they face, they remain hopeful and keep trying to create a better future for themselves and those around them.
