https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_52f2_DioQ ・I really love the lyrics, “I’m Not Giving Up on You! The Person I Love.” I love all the lyrics, but I think songs like “Hime” and “The Person We Met During Our Limited Time” are truly wonderful. I owe it all to Aimyon. (20-24 years old / Female) ・I love both the melody and the lyrics. The powerful kindness is a perfect match with the vocals of the members of WEST. It’s amazing! My favorite part is Kotaki’s part before the second chorus. (30-34 years old / Female) 9th place: “Zundoko Paradise”
https://img.youtube.com/vi/BydCIVtUYvU/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BydCIVtUYvU – This was my favorite song when WEST. debuted. Like “Bali Hapi,” this song really cheers me up, and even now when I listen to it, I find myself singing along, “Zun, ah zun, ah zunzun zunzun!” (20-24 years old/Female) – Listening to this song when I’m fighting with friends makes me feel better. (50-54 years old / Female) – I think only WEST. could sing this song well!! (55-59 years old / Female) 8th place: “Principal no Kimi e” https://img.youtube.com/vi/KtY2ecatdo8/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtY2ecatdo8 ・Listening to this makes all my bad feelings go away and I feel better. (Ages 19 and up / Female) – This song holds a lot of memories for me, so it’s the first one that comes to mind when I think of my favorite songs. I love everything about it: the song, the dance, the costumes. I’ve watched the music video many times. I really love Takahiro Hamada’s visuals. (20-24 years old / Female) – I like the atmosphere. Sparkling music suits her too! (25-29 years old / Female) – It’s a sparkly idol song, and the costumes and dancing are cute. (20-24 years old / Female) ・A cute song by WEST. And the song that Nozomi-kun sang when he starred in his first movie. I love the cute choreography every time I see them perform it live! (30-34 years old / Female) 7th place: “Oh well!” https://img.youtube.com/vi/w8bowEwG_Xo/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8bowEwG_Xo ・The lyrics “It’s okay” saved me and allowed me to try something I love. (Ages 19 and up / Female) ・A song that will make you feel positive! It’s important to be able to change your mindset and think, “Oh well, it’s okay!” (35-39 years old/Female) – It’s up-tempo and catchy, so even when I’m feeling down, it really makes me think, “Oh well, it’s okay!” (55-59 years old/female) 6th place: “Big Shot!!”
https://img.youtube.com/vi/diiQHUzWt5Q/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diiQHUzWt5Q – It’s the theme song for the Volleyball World Cup, and I like it because I play volleyball myself. I’m a kindergarten teacher, and I used it in the running race at the sports day! (30-34 years old / Female) – It’s the song from the Volleyball World Cup. I fell in love with volleyball after the tournament and joined the volleyball club! (Ages 19 and up / Female) – It’s like a cheer song, so it’s uplifting and makes me feel cheerful. (30-34 years old / Female) 5th place: “Melody for You” https://img.youtube.com/vi/iDCEmZ8xxIo/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDCEmZ8xxIo ・I first heard it on the live DVD and was blown away by their beautiful voices and harmonies. I was captivated by WEST.’s beautiful singing voice. (30-34 years old / Female) – I loved Hamada’s “Irresistible Person” and watched it many times back then. Many people have a lively image of WEST., but their ballads are also truly wonderful, so I hope that with the release of their subscription service, more people will get to know their early debut songs. (20-24 years old / Female) – This is one of the songs that shows off WEST.’s singing talent. It’s beautiful how the penlights split into seven colors at live performances. (40-44 years old / Female) ・I feel a sad, fleeting, and strong emotion, and I want to be thought of in the same way. (35-39 years old / Female) ・There’s a huge demand for WEST with this kind of atmosphere. I listen to it all the time. (~19 years old/female) 4th place: “YSSB” https://img.youtube.com/vi/5Pykikicl0Q/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pykikicl0Q – It’s no exaggeration to say that this is a legendary song. No matter which group covers it, the screams never stop. It’s also fun to debate whether or not to include the “y” in “Sexy” in their catchphrases, “You’re So Sexy Baby” (lol) (20-24 years old/Female) ・They’re just so cool. Of course, I was blown away when I listened to them on audio, but I was blown away when I heard them live. I thought this was the true essence of adult WEST. and captivating WEST. (Age 50-54 / Female) ・When I wasn’t yet obsessed with WEST., this song completely overturned my image of them as “cheerful guys from Kansai.” In the 10th anniversary live video, they’re even sexier than ever, and they exude the kind of mature composure that only WEST. can pull off. I just can’t get enough of them. They’re the best. I love them. (30-34 years old / Female) – I feel like a lot of songs have sweet voices, but this song has a charming voice. The lyrics, “Come to me” and “Don’t run away,” make me fantasize about all sorts of things. (50-54 years old / Female) – This song really shows the difference: WEST. can actually do both dance and rap! (30-34 years old/female) 3rd place: “Anjoyarina” https://img.youtube.com/vi/fqLEdXwR8ec/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqLEdXwR8ec – It’s a song I love, it makes ordinary everyday life seem wonderful, it makes you feel positive, but it’s not too pushy. I love the happy expressions on the members’ faces while they sing. I liked the recording, but I cried when I first saw it livestreamed. (Age 50-54 / Female) – The lyrics, “But even I have a strong will,” and “I’m always searching for something that no one can beat,” really struck a chord with me, as I’d spent my life feeling like I had nothing. It made me want to find something that only I can do. (Age 50-54 / Female) – The lyrics, “If a shadow falls on your daily life, on your everyday routine, please call me,” really encouraged me when I was feeling down. (25-29 years old / Female) – Every lyric really resonates with me. It’s a song with a mysterious power that, when it happens to come on TV or radio, even if I hadn’t been paying attention before, I suddenly find myself listening to the song. (35-39 years old / Female) – The fast-paced music is fun. The long tone in the part that says “Just keep moving forward without looking back” is refreshing. The lyrics, which are relevant to everyday life and affirm life as it is, are uplifting. Even on days when I just didn’t want to go to school, listening to this song helped me to keep going. (20-24 years old / Female) – I’ve experienced a lot of hardship as I’ve gotten older, but when I encountered the powerful message of “Love Your Life,” my values were turned upside down, and I realized that it was all because of everything I’d experienced up until now! And it’s a song that made me feel like I’ll be okay no matter what happens in the future. (Age 50-54 / Female) – Even people who aren’t WEST. fans will say this is their best song, even after listening to a few of their songs. It’s a Kansai dialect, but it means they’re doing it slowly. It really gets to me when I listen to it. (50-54 years old/female) 2nd place: “Evidence”
https://img.youtube.com/vi/dWWqaAY2aOA/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWWqaAY2aOA – I love this song because it lets me say things like, “Being perfect is tiring” or “Let’s just be ourselves,” even though I might say them to others. (30-34 years old / Female) – This song is comforting and affirming to me when I’m overthinking things and getting tired, while also encouraging me to just be myself. I loved it the first time I heard it. (45-49 years old / Female) ・I realized that I don’t have to be perfect. I felt accepted for being myself, and that I didn’t have time to worry about what other people thought. (Ages 19 and up / Female) ・This song
commemorates the day I first encountered WEST. This song completely changed my life. It’s an important song that transformed a
pitch-black, monochrome world into a rainbow of colors. (Age 50-54 / Female) ・I heard this song for the first time at an outdoor festival when I was having a hard time at work, and it brought me to tears. “Your heart is laughing so much, no, crying so much, shouting so frantically, It’s proof that you’re doing your best.” I’ve been listening to it ever since! （30～34歳／女性）
・メンバーが強く熱く語りかけるような歌唱をしているので、仲間から応援されている気持ちになります。 （35～39歳／女性） ・コロナ禍の就活中だったので希望業界も採用中止だらけで限界だった時期にずっと聴いていました。今は業界は違いますが何だかんだで評価され頑張っています。
（25～29歳／女性） ・つらいことがあって、いろいろ迷っていた時にこの曲を聴いて、励まされました。この曲がきっかけで、WEST.の歌をよく聴くようになりました。 （50～54歳／女性） ・“頑張れ！”という応援ではなく、今までの頑張り、頑張っていることを認めてくれる歌で、ぐっときます。 （35～39歳／女性） 1位：「ええじゃないか」

・仕事で辛いとき、仕事行きたくない気持ちの時に聴きながら出勤します。今日も1日頑張ろうって前向きな気持ちになります。 （40～44歳／女性） ・明るくて励まされる曲だから。あと、ひとり寂しい夜道等で怖さを紛らせる為に歌ってます（笑）（55～59歳／女性） 【調査概要】 調査主体：KKCompany Japan 合同会社 調査対象：WEST.ファンのみなさま
