"Doki It" is the eighth single by Japanese boy band Naniwa Danshi, released on February 26, 2025, by Storm Labels.[1][2] The single was also made available for digital download and streaming on the same day.[3]

Background and release

"Doki it" is the group's first single of 2025. The title "Doki it" is derived from the Japanese onomatopoeic expression "doki" (ドキッと), referring to the sound of a heartbeat and symbolizing feelings of excitement and anticipation, which reflect the song's theme.[1] It was released in four editions: Limited Edition 1 (CD+DVD/Blu-ray), Limited Edition 2 (CD+DVD/Blu-ray), Regular Edition (CD only), and a Limited Production Edition (CD+DVD/Blu-ray).[4]

The title track "Doki it" was used as the commercial song for AOKI 's "Freshers Fair" campaign, which began airing nationwide on January 15, 2025.[5] The song carries the message that "being yourself is the strongest" and expresses the excitement and anticipation found in everyday life.[4][6] While primarily a positive rock tune, it incorporates elements of idol pop, rap, band sound, and mixture rock, highlighting the individuality of the seven members.[7]

The music video was released on YouTube on February 2, 2025.[8] Directed by Eri Yoshikawa, it depicts the members preparing for a move while encouraging new beginnings and challenges.[9] The choreography was created by Hajimeko, featuring a finger-heart dance in the chorus.[10][11] A dance practice video was released on February 26.[12]

The coupling track "Don't Worry!!" is included in all editions and was used as the commercial song for SoftBank Group's "Tobideru" campaign.[1] It is an urban pop track conveying the message that "it's okay to be yourself".[13] Its music video, released on February 28, depicts an alternate scenario in which the seven members did not become Naniwa Danshi, portraying their individual life paths and eventual intersection.[13]

Chart performance

"Doki it" debuted at number one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart dated March 10, 2025, becoming Naniwa Danshi's eighth consecutive number-one single since their debut.[14] The single also reached number one on the Oricon Weekly Combined Singles Chart.[15] It peaked at number four on the Oricon Weekly Digital Singles (Track) Chart[16] and ranked number two on the Oricon Monthly Singles Chart for February 2025.[17]

On Billboard Japan, the single sold 336,000 copies in its first week and topped the Top Singles Sales chart.[18] It also reached number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, marking the group's third number-one song on the chart.[19] The song further peaked at number four on the Download Songs chart[20] and number eight on the Hot Shot Songs chart.[21]
