Fantastics drops heartfelt winter ballad Zutto Zutto ずっとずっと
Fantastics from Exile Tribe has released “Zutto Zutto ずっとずっと,” a winter ballad that captures the quiet ache of longing. Serving as the theme song for the upcoming film Romantic Killer, the track accompanies the story starring Sota Nakajima as one of the four “Quattro,” with Taiki Sato also featured in the cast. Gentle piano lines and a heartfelt vocal performance trace the space between wanting, waiting, and wishing.
The release coincides with the group’s 7th-anniversary fan event, “FANTIME ～7th Anniversary Party!!～,” celebrating the journey and connection they have built with fans over the years.
Performance and design for anniversary celebrations
The momentum began on 5 December with an exclusive VOOM LIVE session, where Fantastics revealed the full tracklists for their first-ever best album, set for release on 12 February 2026. Fans can look forward to two editions: the “Fantastics盤,” curated by the members, and the “FANTARO盤,” selected by fan votes, offering a complete snapshot of the group’s evolution.
Alongside the album announcement, the group unveiled new visuals to complement the release. A limited Romantic Collaboration Video created with Romantic Killer is available until 31 January 2026, providing cinematic warmth to the ballad. An Art Track featuring the cover visuals has also been released, adding another layer of storytelling and emotion.
Reflection and anticipation
With a heartfelt new single, anniversary celebrations, and a best album on the horizon, Fantastics closes out 2025 by reflecting on their growth and hinting at new chapters ahead. Fans can experience “Zutto Zutto ずっとずっと” through the film or the group’s own release, making it a tender winter moment.
The song invites listeners to pause and feel something real amidst the season’s rush. Fantastics demonstrates how music can both celebrate the past and anticipate the future, blending emotional storytelling with seasonal resonance.
