SixTONES Electrifies "M-Station SUPER LIVE 2025," #KokkaaHajimanda Trends on X
Popular group SixTONES appeared on TV Asahi's "Music Station SUPER LIVE 2025," broadcast on December 26th, and their performance has received a massive response. In particular, the hashtag "#KokkaaHajimanda" (It Starts From Here), matching the lyrics of the song "Kokkaa" performed towards the end of the show, trended on SNS X (formerly Twitter), with numerous passionate messages posted by fans.
SixTONES performed two songs this time: "Stargaze" and "Kokkaa." For "Stargaze," they captivated viewers with a majestic arrangement that began a cappella. Fans praised them with comments like "The a cappella start was amazing," "The a cappella was superb," and "I love the a cappella drop in the chorus of 'tone color' so this arrangement was the best," reaffirming their high vocal abilities. While some fans expressed concern for member Taiga Kyomoto's throat condition, his visual was described as "very good."
Following "Kokkaa," its powerful message gave courage to many fans. Comments poured in such as "Kokkaa's lyrics really cheer you up," and "No matter the time, no matter how difficult, 'It Starts From Here' has encouraged me so much." Fans raved, "Watching their performance energizes me" and "They're too good." For SixTONES, who are celebrating their 6th anniversary, this song felt like "It truly starts from here," marking an impression of a new beginning.
During the performance, fans shared various charming details, such as member Juri Tanaka loudly shouting "Onegai shimasu!" (Please!), Shintaro Morimoto's arm-waving choreography, Hokuto Matsumura, Jesse, and Yugo Kochi's staging, and the members singing while looking at each other. Furthermore, the phrase "SixTONES saikou" (SixTONES is the best) also trended on Twitter even without a hashtag, demonstrating their immense popularity and influence.
While anticipation grows for collaborations with King & Prince and Arashi on the show, SixTONES is set to release their first best album, "MILESixTONES -Best Tracks-," on January 21st next year. Their passionate performance at "M-Station SUPER LIVE 2025" will undoubtedly accelerate this momentum. All eyes are on SixTONES' further leap, truly "starting from here."
