“『ズンドコ パラダイス』(Zundoku Paradise)” was Johnny’s WEST’s third single and the second single to reach number one on the Oricon charts, selling over 97,000 copies. The single originally came in three editions including a CD-only regular edition and a CD + DVD limited edition Type A which included a music video & making-of for the lead track “Zundoku Paradise”, and the CD + DVD limited edition Type B included a digest of Johnny’s WEST’s Debut Commemorative Event. The talented and famous CHOKKAKU, known for contributing to artists such as AKB48, Ueto Aya, Shibasaki Kou, etc. arranged two songs on this single, including the title track “Zundoku Paradise”. The amazing Takafumi Iwasaki wrote and composed the lead track while rising star AIMYON wrote the B-side track “Time goes by”. “Zundoku Paradise” starts off slowly then dives into a high energy beat with harmonious yet boisterous vocals. This track will lift your spirits and induce a jump in your step with its high spirited composition and arrangement. Each member has their own vocals in the verses that brings a variety of vocal capabilities while in the chorus they all come together, exhibiting an amazing unity. The high spirited energy from every member, the composition, and words made this song a chart-topper and left quite the impression on the industry.
