# Synopsis (album)

The title is based on the concept of "a new story created with your loved ones". It contains 12 new songs in total for all formats, including six songs supervised and produced by each member.
A live tour under the name of this album Kis-My-Ft2 Dome Tour 2024 Synopsis is scheduled to start on June 8, 2024.

## Songs produced by members

Kis-My-Ft2's official Website and X page by MENT Recording held a project titled "#Quiz_Synopsis" about the songs produced by the members, asking people to think about who produced which song. On April 22 and 23, the correct answers and details of each song were announced on X as follows.
* Keep it 1000
** Kento Senga produced
** It reads "Keep It Hanit". The message is to add original color to what you believe in and go strong, no matter what someone around you tries to make negative.
* B-Side
** Toshiya Miyata Produced
** The beautiful parts of human beings are more beautiful because they have weak and dirty parts. This song expresses the other side of human beings as "B-Side".
* Hoshiyui
** Wataru Yokoo Produced
** A mix of modern sounds and Japanese instruments, this song was produced to sound fresh and interesting to people of all ages.
* With...
** Taisuke Fujigaya Produced
** Sampling Johann Sebastian Bach's Air on the G String. The balance between the two was also carefully considered in the creation of this piece. The theme of this song is the existence of people who support us and the happiness that we tend to overlook in our daily lives.
* Wani-Wani
** Yuta Tamamori Produced
** Warning. Rather than the words of those who say whatever they want, we stand strong with the "voice" that calls us in the darkness before the curtain rises. This song is inspired by the image of such a figure.
* Connecting!
** Takashi Nikaido Produced
** Created with the concept of "connecting people with people". This is a digital rock song that is designed for live performances, so that everyone can enjoy and make noise together through call and response.
