Kis-My-Journey is the third studio album by Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2. It was released on July 7, 2014, under the record label Avex Trax.
Three days after release, Kis-My-Ft2 started on their first 4-dome tour titled 2014 Concert Tour Kis-My-Journey.
Overview
The main song on the album, "Seven Journey," was written by the duo Kimaguren. The lyrics were written by Kurei and composed by Iseki, and the arrangement was done by Gira Mundo and the Kimaguren team, who worked together to produce the title song. The music video for the title song was created around the theme of a new journey and the feeling of adventure. "3.6.5." is the theme song for a TV commercial featuring Kis-My-Ft2, DHC Corporation's acne prevention cosmetics. The music video for "3.6.5." is a comical expression of men in the world chasing after the members of Kis-My-Ft2 in order to get beautiful skin that attracts women.
