As previously reported, Johnny's Jr. groups SixTONES and Snow Man will be making their official CD debuts simultaneously this year. Recently, it was revealed that the groups will debut with a joint single titled Imitation Rain / D.D., or D.D. / Imitation Rain, depending on the version. The single will hit stores on January 22nd.

All six versions will feature both groups' debut songs, and each one will feature a different cover design. SixTONES' debut song is Imitation Rain, which is a dramatic rock ballad that was produced by X JAPAN drummer YOSHIKI. It was YOSHIKI's first time ever contributing a song for a Johnny's artist.

The collaboration came about because ex-Tackey & Tsubasa member Takizawa Hideaki, who is SixTONES' producer, made YOSHIKI a passionate offer, hoping to help the group build a strong presence overseas. YOSHIKI stated that he was originally planning to decline because he was too busy at the time, but he was impressed by Takizawa's enthusiasm and came away from their meeting believing that SixTONES is a group with the potential to help renew J-pop's image internationally.

Snow Man's song is D.D., a high-energy electronic tune that allows the members to showcase their dancing ability and acrobatics.

The Snow Man versions of the single will be released by avex, while the SixTONES versions will be released by Sony. Details on the contents of each of the Snow Man versions are available here on CDJapan, and the same is available for the SixTONES versions here.
