Kanjani∞ Celebrates 20 Years with the Global Release of "ANTHROPOS"

Kanjani∞, the beloved Japanese rock band, has officially released their 50th single, "ANTHROPOS," marking the first standalone release of their 20th anniversary year. This powerful rock anthem, now available for download and streaming on major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer, embodies the intensity and emotion that have defined the band's two-decade journey.

"ANTHROPOS" is celebrated not only for its energetic rock sound but also for its role as the opening theme for the anime series "Firefighter Daigo: Rescuer in Orange." The track's raw vocal emotions and musical intensity make it a fitting anthem for both the band, which is stronger than ever after twenty years, and the heroic narrative of the anime.

In addition to digital availability, a physical disc version of "ANTHROPOS" is being sold, featuring bonus tracks and exclusive behind-the-scenes video content. This release is part of a larger initiative to make Kanjani∞'s entire music catalog, including all previously released albums and singles, accessible to fans worldwide. The first part of this catalog release coincides with "ANTHROPOS," while the second part, including all remaining singles up to their 2004 debut "Naniwa Iroha Bushi," was set to be available by the end of January.

Kanjani∞'s decision to make their music catalog available on streaming platforms represents a significant step in expanding their global presence. Starting from January 2024, their music, including singles since their 2019 release "Tomo yo," songs from their best albums "8EST" and "GR8EST," and the "8BEAT (Complete Edition)" album, has been rolled out. This strategic release allows fans, both new and old, to explore the band's musical evolution, from their early days rooted in the comedy and culture of Osaka/Kansai to their current, more rock-oriented sound.

The global release is not just a celebration of Kanjani∞'s past two decades but also a testament to their adaptability and ongoing relevance in the music industry. By making their music more accessible worldwide, Kanjani∞ is inviting a broader audience to experience their unique blend of music and entertainment, promising to continue their legacy for years to come.
