Promo wise , encore was used as the theme song for the drama Parallel Fufu: Shinda Boku to Tsuma no Shinjitsu starring member Inoo Kei .
4 B-sides are included in encore :
- SUPER CRUISIN' 1st released digitally on 26th March & it has a video made
Described as a funky upbeat track driven by lyrics from Saya & a groovy beat produced by Sakiura Shin .
Lyrically SUPER CRUISIN' is all about motion , momentum & swagger . This isn't a cruise for the calm , it’s a wild ride of highs , spins & unexpected turns .
- Love Letter (CD Only Track)
- MATSURI☆FEVER (CD Only Track)
- Step by step (CD + DVD & CD + Blu-ray A Track)
- Miraisen (CD + DVD & CD + Blu-ray B Track)
Hey ! Say ! JUMP's 35th single encore is the theme song for the Fuji TV drama Parallel Fufu starring member Inoo Kei . The refreshing love song makes you want to sing & dance along with its rhythmic pop melody .
The single's B-side track SUPER CRUISIN' that was penned by Laland's Saya is an upbeat hip-hop number that expresses the strengths & charms of Hey ! Say ! JUMP, who have cruised from Heisei to Reiwa at their own pace as a group .
In all honestly I'm not really a fan of Hey ! Sɑy ! JUMP's previous single UMP as I felt it was a bit un-necessary for them to redo their debut single where they could have chosen not to perform Ultra Music Power any longer .
Luckily I do not have the same opinions towards encore as I do like the song the moment I 1st heard it .
As for the B-sides in encore all 4 of them are equally enjoyable & different from each other in a good way even though I personally feel Love Letter should be the 1 that gets a video made & not SUPER CRUISIN' .
Hey ! Say ! JUMP LIVE TOUR 2024-2025 H⁺ DVD + Blu-ray will be released next month on 30th July .
