'''''Akai Kajitsu''''' (赤い果実:The red fruit) is Japanese boys band [[Kis-My-Ft2]]'s 20th single, released on CD on November 29, 2017 by [[Avex Trax|avex trax]].
==Production==
This mysterious song was written as the theme song for the drama "Important Reference Person Detective" starring [[Kis-My-Ft2]] member [[Yuta Tamamori]], and the title means "truthful truth, true heart."
==Location of the music video==
The music video (MV) for the song was shot on location in a medieval European-like town in [[Wakayama Prefecture]], the first time in three and a half years since "3.6.5".
The "-Short Movie-" is a story version and the "-Dance Edition-" is a dance version of the same song with the same arrangement. "-Short Movie-" depicts the story of the "revolution" of seven people trapped in a world where music is forbidden, until they are freed, while in "-Dance Edition-" the seven people are handcuffed and dance the "chain dance". The use of chains was inspired by the aforementioned drama starring Tamamori and proposed by member [[Kento Senga]].<ref>{{cite web|title=キスマイ、“鎖ダンス”MV2種類にファン歓喜 藤ヶ谷「僕たちで玉森を救いました」|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2100326/full/|date=November 14, 2017|publisher=oricon |access-date=27 April 2024}}</ref>
The song depicts "seven people deprived of their freedom and bound together" and "the way seven people are connected by a bond". The members also wear chains in the jacket photo and when they perform the song on TV.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kis-My-Ft2は“型を突破”する時を迎えている？ 「赤い果実」パフォーマンスから読み解く|url=https://realsound.jp/2017/12/post-133853.html|date=December 1, 2017|publisher=oricon |access-date=27 April 2024}}</ref>
==Release==
On November 29, 2017, the CD was sold in three types: limited first-run edition A/B and regular edition. The DVD included in the first edition A contains two music videos for "Akai Kajitsu," while the first edition B contains footage of the members playing the loose sport of hand soap ball and a preview of their upcoming video work "LIVE TOUR 2017 Music Colosseum" to be released the following year.
The coupling song "Future Train" included in the regular disc is a GO! Kiss My Kumamoto Oita commercial song.<ref>{{cite web|title=＜画像1 / 2＞キスマイ感激！熊本＆大分を盛りあげる“キスマイトレイン”が発車|url=https://www.walkerplus.com/trend/matome/article/111060/image613318.html|date=June 4, 2017|publisher=walkerplus |access-date=27 April 2024}}</ref>
"Hot!x2" is included as a coupling song for all forms of the album, was used as the commercial song for [[Kowa (company)]]'s new hot-air warmer "Nukkusuku Toban", and the English lyrics are sung to sound like the Japanese "Quickly Hot Hot".

Azusa Ogiwara, the writer of "Real sound" which move from a dark world of "darkness" and "fall" to the hope of "salvation," are effectively expressed by heavy rock-style guitars, low-pitched strings, and short single-note pianos. She also commented that the phrase "Akai Kajitsu" that appears at the beginning of the song and after the first chorus accentuates the song and gives it a powerful impression, making it more than just a "dark" song. She also commented that She felt a musical quality in the part after the second chorus, which has no lyrics, and that he felt the group's new appeal in that it portrays "them as characters in a story rather than their life-size, realistic selves.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kis-My-Ft2「赤い果実」で打ち出した新たな側面 “演じながら歌う”楽曲スタイルから考察|url=https://realsound.jp/2017/12/post-137109.html#google_vignette|date=December 9, 2017|publisher=oricon |access-date=27 April 2024}}</ref>
