It’s gotten real cold out - you haven’t caught a cold, have you?
Now, I have a V6-related announcement. V6’s NEW1 single, “ROCK YOUR SOUL” is being released on 12/26.
It’s been a while? since you’ve gotten a taste of V6’s scraping!? grinding!? anger!? in a song like this. And what’s more, it’s the title song for “Hokuto Musou.”
I’m certain both “Hokuto Musou” and V6 fans will get really excited by this NEW single. When you listen to the passionate “ROCK YOUR SOUL,” I’m sure you’ll fly right through this cold winter!
Of course, I’m looking forward to singing it in concert!

Everyone, how did you spend your Christmas? This is Nagano!!
Tomorrow our NEW SINGLE “ROCK YOUR SOUL” is finally going to be released. It’s been a while since we’ve had this kind of enraged sound in a song to which you can dance.
Oh, that’s right. Tomorrow we’ll also be singing on “Shounen Club Premium,” so do check us out on that, please!
Well well, do take care of yourselves in the years to come and have a great year.

Have you listened to our 41st single, the theme song for the game “Hokuto Musou, “ROCK YOUR SOUL”?
It’s a really manly song - but do you hate that sort of thing?
I like it, though.
We’re particular about our dancing, and this time it was kind of like putting the finishing touches on an attack in “Hokuto Musou,” but do you not like that sort of thing?
I like it, though.
Well, I can talk about liking or hating but please do give it a listen!
Our b-sides this time are awesome, too!
With “MUSIC LIFE”, we debuted in 95 with “MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE” and we’ve been connected to music ever since and so it’s a song about that. And when I think about that … I could cry!
The regular version of the single contains the song, “fAKE,” which we performed on “Shounen Club Premium.”
There’s also “Bokura no Oto,” the sequel to “Ashita no Kasa,” which we released in the past.
Don’t miss out on listening to them!

Hi! It’s Morita Go. Our new single, “ROCK YOUR SOUL” was released on 12/26. It’s a really manly song. From the moment you wake up in the morning, please make it the first song you hear. And then go out and do your best. I’ll be really happy if you also learn the dance before you come to the concert. See ya!!!

Well, everyone, step right up! Come have a look!
We’ve got a SONG SONG you just have to hear, a SONG SONG you just have to buy!! It’s a SONG festival!
The shop manager’s recommendation this month is V6’s new song, their third of the year, “ROCK YOUR SOUL.”
This single is truly well-made.
A royally cool song, a music box-like song, a painful and wafting autotuned song, and a ballad with a certain warmth, all of which are songs everyone should definitely hear.
When you’re on the way to school, on your way to work, out for a drive, during Tea Time, when you lie down to sleep - they’re songs you’ll want to listen to at various times.
There’s a great many facets to take with you, so please do keep them close to you.
For sure, you’ll have a flash of insight, or something will occur to you, and I’m sure you’ll tell me the things you wanted to know.
Maybe not right this second, but surely someday.
And so, that’s enough of Miyake’s babbling (laughs).
This shop manager has listened too much and is all full now. (laughs).

How will you be spending your New Year’s? It’s cold, so please try not to catch a cold.
Today, I have something I want to tell you all. V6 are releasing our third single for the year.
This one is called “ROCK YOUR SOUL.”
It’s a passionate song. When you listen to it, you’ll be able to get through this cold season.
If you get a chance to watch us perform it, please do watch, ok?
We’re also going to have concerts, so I’ll see you then. Well, do your best today, too!

1. Every time he says “NEW” in this message, he’s writing it out in English. Because, again, spazz.
2. Actually, everyone was throwing in random English in these. I don't know what possessed them to do it, but I appreciate it because I appreciate their idiosyncracies.
