TOKIO make slightly untypical music considering they were put together as a unit under the management of Johnny's Entertainment. In comparison to their colleagues, the members of TOKIO still know how to rock. The five members are all skilled with their instruments, and seem to lay more value on musical diversity than for example KinKi Kids or SMAP do. Despite the fact they don't avoid ballads, the number of cuddle-songs is kept to a limit.

Next to their typical 'boygroup'-cliché-pop on their albums, you find several harder songs with metal-like riffs (e.g. daybreak), after which could follow an a capella song like Lion Heart.

They offer fairly diverse music that shouldn't lead to boredom in particular for pop fans.
