the 11th single; ”Tsukiyomi" was released on 9th of November, 2022.
It is an up-tempo Latin pop dance music with mysterious and passionate appeal.
The members of King & Prince have put so much effort into this song by discussing in details to a single note and words. The dance which synchronizes with the note; choreographed by RIEHATA is also a must-see.
The story-based MV ends in a “bad end”, which was also decided by themselves.

-The 1st week sales; 792k
*Marked their best accumulated sales.
*The best seller in the weekly ranking.
*All 11 of their released singles since their debut has marked over 300k sales on the 1st week.
/ the 2nd group in history of the Japanese music scene to make such a record. / self-updating the 2nd longest record of the consecutive sales.

As bonus videos, the limited first edition A will include the Music Video, Dance Ver and Behind the scenes of "Life goes on", while the limited first edition B will include the Music Video, Lip Sync Ver and Behind the scenes of "We are young".
The Dear Tiara edition also includes a project video titled 'Bring Back Our Youth!'.

“Cinderella Girl” is the debut single of King & Prince, released on 23rd of May, 2018. King & Prince is the first artist of “Johnny’s Universe”, a newly made label by Johnny & Associates and Universal Music. It has been 4 years since the previous group debuted from Johnny & Associates.

This special debut song was selected by the members from among nearly 200 other options. It is said that the last lyrics "I wanna always be your King & Prince" were changed to "King & Prince'' at the suggestion of the late Mr. Johnny Kitagawa, after the first draft was made. Combined with the choreography of fingers to represent the letters "K" and "P", the ending of the song gives a memorable impression to the group name.

The members expressed the song “Cinderella Girl” as "the song that will walk beside us throughout our lifetime, together with the name of our group.” The MV shows the fresh appearance of the members, as if they are about to take their first step into the dazzling world filled with light and excitement.
