"Wanna Beeee!!!/Shake It Up" is 4th single by Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2. It was released on August 15, 2012.[1]

It is the group’s first double A-side single.[1] "Wanna Beeee!!!" served as the theme song for the TBS TV drama Beginners! starring Taisuke Fujigaya and Hiromitsu Kitayama,[2]while "Shake It Up" was used as the theme for the Nippon TV drama Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou, featuring Toshiya Miyata. [2]

Overview

“Wanna Beeee!!!” is an upbeat, summer-themed song with a lively tempo and bright atmosphere. The music video opens with the members dressed as pirates, performing a dynamic dance sequence that features acrobatics by Kento Senga and Takashi Nikaido. Set aboard a pirate ship, the video shows them looking at a treasure map, arm wrestling, fishing up roller skates, and eating watermelon.[3] One memorable scene depicts Fujigaya transforming into the sun, which was said to reflect his cheerful character Teppei Shimura from Beginners!, and became a topic of conversation among fans.[4][5]

“Shake It Up” is a cool and sexy song that stands apart from conventional idol pop. The music video was reportedly filmed in a real nightclub with about 100 dancers.[6] Fujigaya, who is known as the group’s “sexy” member,[7] stood out in this video wearing a leopard-print jacket and performing with a sensual expression, giving the song a distinctive and stylish tone. The track incorporates a significant amount of rap elements, creating a cool and edgy image.[8]
