Seven-member Japanese boy band GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE have revealed a stylist photo with each member wearing a grey suit coupled with a red bowtie.
The band also revealed the CD cover for their upcoming new single Ame Nochi Hare (Rainy and Sunny Later) which is set for release on February 10, 2021. The cover ties in with the title of the single with the members enjoying their time indoors while it rains until the sun shines through the clouds.
The single’s title track will be used as the main theme for the upcoming TV Asahi Saturday night drama series Mokomi ~Kanojo Chotto Hen Dakedo~ airing in Japan from January 23. The song explores loneliness and pain and sympathises with the difficulty of taking that first step forward. Ame Nochi Hare will also hit music streaming and download services before the CD release on January 24.
The single is coupled with another song titled A wish for you -Kimi o Negau Yoru- which was written by the same team who wrote One in a Million -Kiseki no Yoru ni-, a track used as the main theme for the live-action adaptation of the shojo manga series Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight.

Pokemon has launched a new English-language website for the Pokemon DP Sound Library, which has been available in Japan since December 2021. It is now open in 13 countries and regions including North America and the United Kingdom. To commemorate this English release, three artists have sampled sound sources from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl to create new music. Alan Shirahama, a member of EXILE/GENERATIONS/PKCZ, is one major contributor. The performer, actor, DJ, and trackmaker has created the song on my way to Glory. Shirahama explained that he’s played Pokemon since childhood, and the song is based on the main character’s daily life.
Comment from Alan Shirahama
"The first Pokemon game I played was Pokemon Green. My family had the game and I was still really young, but I was instantly hooked. I played Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, and, of course, Diamond and Pearl. I used the link cable to trade with friends and show off my Pokemon…it really was my whole life.About the Music
It’s a dream come true to be able to create music through Pokemon. If you would have told me this would happen as a kid, I would have been over the moon. When I make tracks, I like to really develop them. In this case, I imagined the main character’s daily life–things like battling with other trainers and the sound of the Pokemon Center. The beginning of the song will make you feel like you’re relaxing at the Pokemon Center, and then you find yourself in a battle, trying your best not to lose! The Pokemon DP Sound Library contains so many valuable sound sources, and I can’t wait to see what kind of music people make with it!Information
