# Music Colosseum

Music Colosseum (Music Colosseum (ミュージックコロシアム)) is the sixth original album by Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2, released on May 3, 2017, by Avex Trax.

## Overview

The title of the album, "Music Colosseum," is a reference to the seven brave souls who are taking on a new form of "music." It was announced that this album would be their "aggressive" work.
The lead song of the album is "Explode" and its music video is based on the theme of "Wild & Strong" and symbolizes Kis-My-Ft2 aggressively taking on the battle. This music video and the making-of documentary were included in the first edition A.
The special movie included in the first edition B was produced by Takashi Nikaido, a member of the group, and took about three months from conception to production under the mottos of "thinking seriously about seemingly trivial things and doing them seriously" and "playing with music to the hilt."
The story is about Tamachi, a brave man played by Yuta Tamamori, who sets out on a journey to find his friends after receiving a message from God. Tamacchi heads for "Music Mountain," a sacred place where brave men fight, and meets six unique "music fighters."
Shibumitsu (Hiromitsu Kitayama), a gyaru guy (a frivolous guy who used to live in Shibuya), Ken-King (Kent Senga), a genderless-fashioned guy who loves playing the piano, Miyacchi, an otaku who loves anime (Toshiya Miyata), Watter, a good cook (Wataru Yokoo), Taipi, a sexy cool guy (Taisuke Fujigaya) and Kis-My-Ft2's big fan Jossy Matsumura (Takashi Nikaido). After witnessing their respective confrontations, would Tamachi be able to make these brave men into friends?
In this special movie, the heroes battle one-on-one in a music battle, and at the end, they all dance to the song "Let's Go!" which is also the theme song of the movie The Lego Batman Movie.
