Even with their eyes covered, the members of &TEAM run forward without hesitation. Following a journey that spanned four seasons, the boys open a new chapter with unshakable determination. Today, &TEAM talks about their third single album, “Go in Blind,” and how they’re proving themselves to the world—plus some other songs that keep them going along the way.

“Go in Blind” (&TEAM)
EJ: The best part of this song is when we dance blindfolded. But there’s lots of other fun parts, like the unit choreo and a dance break!

FUMA: We practiced this song down to every last detail, including how we cover our eyes, the biting move, and how we get pulled along. I highly recommend watching the performance along with the song!

K: The dance moves in the chorus after the first verse are amazing, so make sure to zero in on that part!

NICHOLAS: I hope everyone focuses on our blindfolded performance for this single.

YUMA: I think the highlight of this song’s the transition from the dance break near the end to the chorus—that and the moves we do while blindfolded.

JO: I’m personally a big fan of how the music video opens. It just feels so big, like the start of a movie, so I really hope people pay close attention to that part.

HARUA: My favorite thing about this song is the music itself. From how the guitar sounds in the intro to the way the bass gets heavier and heavier as the song progresses, I think it’s one of our very best songs.

TAKI: When we were shooting the music video, it was hard to imagine what it’d look like in the end since there were so many special effects, but thanks to the close communication we had with the director, I think we ended up with an amazing final product, so I hope you check it out!

MAKI: I really hope people watch the music video. It’s as solid as an actual movie! It’s packed with thrilling scenes, like the sudden shift to animation or when we all transform into wolves. Don’t miss it! I hope you like it!

“Run Wild” (&TEAM)
FUMA: We all worked really hard thinking about and practicing how we could emphasize how playful and cool “Run Wild” is even in a part with movements as restricted as when we dance with our hands in our pockets. So I hope you’ll keep an eye out for that!

NICHOLAS: Make sure you’re paying attention to our facial expressions when you listen to this song! We put a lot of effort into the performance, so it’s a must see.

TAKI: The vibe for this song’s completely different from the lead single, “Go in Blind,” so we felt it was important to express the playfulness of the song through our facial expressions properly. There’s also some really fun choreo that’s easy to dance along to, so keep your eyes peeled for that, too!

MAKI: I’d like people to focus on all our upbeat vocals and playful dance moves, which we did to bring this fun song to life. The hands-in-pockets part in particular is pretty straightforward, so I hope LUNÉ will try it out with us!

“Wolf type” (&TEAM)
EJ: I love how cute the lyrics to this song are! They’re about someone who doesn’t let it show, but they’re actually really jealous! I hope LUNÉ will imagine us singing the song to them directly when they listen.

YUMA: We paid really close attention to everything from the way the ends of words sound to how each part of the song starts. I hope you’ll listen to it lots!

HARUA: I did my best to convey the honesty that’s there inside this mysterious-sounding song. There’s a part I sing comparing liking someone to a wolf hunting prey, and having absolute devotion to someone. I tried a lot of things out with the way I sang it, throwing in some breathing sounds and emphasizing certain pronunciations, all to really bring out the words.

“Extraordinary day” (&TEAM)
K: This song was also used as the theme for a marathon. I absolutely recommend listening to it to start your day!

JO: This song has a really laid-back tempo, so I recommend it for when you’re taking a drive or a laid back outing.

“BLUE” (Saucy Dog)
EJ: I heard this song at complete random and I think the youthful vocals just shine, so I’m recommending it.

“G.O.A.T” (TAEMIN)
FUMA: I first saw TAEMIN perform this in concert, and after I saw him performing with a mic in hand, I wanted to do the same. Now I always sing along when I’m practicing for performances.

“Big suki” (&TEAM)
K: This song’s really special since we made it with LUNÉ, which is also why I’m recommending it. It’s got such a fun party vibe.

“Sweet Dreams” feat. Miguel (j-hope)
NICHOLAS: Just listen to this song and you’ll instantly feel energized and get a mood boost.

“Azizam” (Ed Sheeran)
YUMA: This is his new song. Ever since I played it on my radio show, I listen to it all the time. Ed Sheeran always has really unique guitar playing in his songs. I love it.

“luther” (Kendrick Lamar, SZA)
JO: This is a really chill, laid-back song, perfect for when you want to relax or you’re working out. I can recommend listening to it anytime, anywhere.

“Paris in the Rain” (Lauv)
HARUA: I have a thing for songs about rain or rainy days. I feel like they have a naturally comforting and mellow sound. This one’s great for playing on repeat or as background music when I’m working. It’s one of my go-to tracks.

“Samidare” (&TEAM)
TAKI: We dropped this song last spring. The more you listen to it, the more you can feel how emotional and intense it is, and that reminds me again and again of how much I love it.

“Get You” feat. Kali Uchis (Daniel Caesar)
MAKI: This is a slow, calm song. Put it on low and it’s perfect for drifting off to sleep! Don’t miss it!
