KAT-TUN to provide the theme song for Kanjani8's Yasuda Drama



KAT-TUN, who released their newest single “TO THE LIMIT” last month to favorable reviews, will provide the theme song for MBS/TBS’s drama “Dragon Seinendan”, which will start this month.

“Dragon Seinendan” stars Yasuda Shota, who is a member of Kanjani 8, and is Yasuda’s first solo serial drama. The drama tells the story of the opening of a door that takes one away from daily life into a fantasy. Ueda Makoto, the chairman of Europe Kikaku troupe, wrote the script and directed the drama together with Miki Takahiro, who is known for the hit movies “Solanin” and “Bokura ga Ita”; and Matsui Daigo, who became a hot topic from the movie version of “Afro Tanaka”. Aside from Yasuda, the cast includes Renbutsu Misako, Endo Kaname, Honda Chikara, Araki Yuko, and Yusuke Santamaria.

KAT-TUN’s new song “Fumetsu no Scrum” will be used as the theme song for the drama, but an announcement regarding the release for the song has not been made at this moment. The drama will begin airing on July 14th at 12:55 AM on TBS and on July 19th at 12:55 AM on MBS, so those interested in their new song should check out the drama!

Well, although it's surprising they provide song to Yasu drama instead of their own Yucchi (coz everyone thought they would!) but this isn't the 1st time for Eito right? I heard that TOKIO also provide a song for Ohkura drama before, but none of the member in that drama. After hearing that, I'm not surprise about this anymore ^^
haifunskhid 7th-Jul-2012 06:51 am (UTC)
yeah! not first time for eito ^^
that drama called 'ROMES'. Ohkura was lead actor meanwhile Yasuda co-star in that drama as well :))

ugh, why.

did kanjani8 run out of corny band numbers for ost to that drama?

More likely, their schedule may already be full. I mean, there're 3 singles already this year, a DVD tour, a SUPER BIG EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY, and usually they'll release an album shortly and maybe a tour before countdown.

So not really "did kanjani8 run out of corny band
numbers for ost to that drama?"

Just saying.

'corny band numbers' funny initially i read 'horny band numbers' n i was like ohh whyyy please go for it! n my guess is the same they r already too busy with ER n maru's dorama singles plus the promo for their movie n k8's eighth anniversary thing.. all of that are tooooo muchhh
jae_bias_bitch 7th-Jul-2012 06:46 am (UTC)
wow i thought Kanjani8 would sing a theme song for yasu
sonia_san 7th-Jul-2012 07:19 am (UTC)
Me too.
sonia_san 7th-Jul-2012 07:27 am (UTC)
Already seen this floating in twitter, but still!! I mean, why didn't Kat-tun provide the song for Boys on the Run instead? Their Ueda is there, right...

But I'm here not to complain. Rather surprised that there are so many EitoXKattun collaboration these day, yeaa happy to see this...
chizzyrei 7th-Jul-2012 07:34 am (UTC)
Happy for any EitoX KAT-TUNX NEWS collab too.

I was wondering too, they could have provided the theme song for Boys on the Run, and K8 to sing for Yasuda's drama. But oh well, that's how they roll. It could have something to do with the song fitting drama theme and what not.
shiro_renja 7th-Jul-2012 11:24 am (UTC)
came here to say that!

oh well, Eito are already over exposed right now with all the things happening with their 8th. It's good that it may give them a bit more space to breath.
chizzyrei 7th-Jul-2012 07:36 am (UTC)
This could still be a B-side though. KT members' drama theme songs are always A-side and this time they are skipping Nakamaru's drama theme song. It could have been the next single if ever.
mrstaguchi100 7th-Jul-2012 11:12 am (UTC)
I hope this is kattun's PR and not because they're filling in for k8 who are too busy..... But I'm still happy nonetheless ^____^
sibylblack 7th-Jul-2012 12:17 pm (UTC)
Kinda weird but as long as they get promoted I'm happy!
stole_away 7th-Jul-2012 04:33 pm (UTC)
hmm k8 not gna do it? hmm well, maybe cos theya re releasing a lot of things alr but still ;/
eevaleena 7th-Jul-2012 05:18 pm (UTC)
Right? And there's ER single too this month. I think that's why they sort of "passed" it to KT? ;p
niini_21 8th-Jul-2012 05:58 pm (UTC)
kinda remind me of the old days where kattun was on the top of JE hierarchy n kanjani8 was that nobody idiot group
citrine047 7th-Jul-2012 08:55 pm (UTC)
well, why not?
this is all good news to me *shrugs*
edneichon 7th-Jul-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
mm ok~ but this is weir
arara_chan 7th-Jul-2012 09:53 pm (UTC)
Haha weird xD Kat-tun doesn't have enough to do? xD
Their members also have dramas... xD
chizzyrei 7th-Jul-2012 10:25 pm (UTC)
lolz, they can sing for Maru or Ueda's dramas, not their choice if management wants their song for a K8 drama.
arara_chan 7th-Jul-2012 10:33 pm (UTC)
Yes, and the management is strange as always^^
niini_21 8th-Jul-2012 05:43 pm (UTC)
my guess is initially k8 was planned to sing the theme song for both maru's n yasu's dorama but then their schedule is conflicted so kattun generously fill in for them.. or they were asked to do so
unlived 9th-Jul-2012 04:57 pm (UTC)

chizzyrei 9th-Jul-2012 05:17 pm (UTC)
