Two as One is Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2's 29th single, released on August 17, 2022, by MENT Recording.[1]

Overview

The release of this album was announced at on-stage banter of Kyocera Dome Osaka performance of the dome tour "Kis-My-Ft ni Aeru de Show 2022 in Dome" held on June 3, 2022. The meaning of the title is "2 persons as 1".[2]

The title song is the theme song of TV Asahi's Friday night drama Nice Flight! starring Yuta Tamamori,[3][4] and the coupling song "Ribbon" included in the first edition A is used for the Tokyo Interior Furniture commercial song,[5] and the coupling song "Smokin' Hot" included in the first edition B is used for the Kowa "Unakowa Ace" commercial song.[6]

The title track "Two as One" is a medium ballad love song. The lyrics express the realistic love life of working adults and the thought that there is a place for both of them with you, the precious you, and that they can overcome any future with you, the love of their lives, next to them. The music video for "Smokin' Hot," included on the first pressing B, is a summery song sung by the Kis-My-Ft2 members who greet the morning with hangovers after a crazy night.[7][8]

Chart performance

With first-week sales of 246,000 copies, the band topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Ranking on August 29, 2022.[9] This is the 29th consecutive time that the band has topped the chart since their 1st single Everybody Go. With this achievement, the "number of consecutive No. 1 singles since its debut (1st)" was renewed from No. 5 to tie for No. 3 on the all-time list.[9]
