NEWS's 31st single Acchi Muite Hoi is the super catchy theme song of the TV drama Takasugi-san Chi no Obento . Created by Zettakun , the song blends city pop elements with a cutting edge sound .

On 1st listen it's evident Acchi Muite Hoi is very different from Gifted & I like how super catchy and fun sounding the song's on 1st listen .

Music genre wise Acchi Muite Hoi is the 1st time NEWS handled city pop which I thought they did it really well as city pop is surprisingly something they have not explored in their music discography until now .

B-sides wise , the songs excluding the live tracks are pretty good and each of them compliment & contrast Acchi Muite Hoi .

Overall on whole I enjoyed Acchi Muite Hoi & I look forward to see what NEWS will bring next year .
