New song "エメラルド" has been chosen as the theme song for the TBS Sunday drama "Dangerous Venus," which starts in October!

back number will be providing the theme song for the TBS Sunday drama "Kiken na Venus" (Sundays at 9 PM), which starts in October.
I've been chosen to perform the new song "エメラルド," which was written specifically for this drama!

The drama "Dangerous Venus" is based on a masterpiece mystery novel by Keigo Higashino and is a highly anticipated work in which Satoshi Tsumabuki takes on the lead role in a Sunday drama for the first time in 16 years.
For back number, this is their first drama theme song since "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama "Hajimete Koi o Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi" in February 2019.

<Comment Iyori Shimizu >
I find the original work very interesting, and I love the atmosphere of the world and characters within it.
I am very happy to be able to play a part in this film adaptation.
The concept for this song has actually been around for two years.
But the most important part was missing, and the timing just didn't feel right.
I think we've been waiting for "Dangerous Venus," which combines the thrilling aspects of a mystery with a high level of comedic elements.

<Comment from producer Fumi Hashimoto>
I was so excited when I listened to the song that back number sent me!
First, the intro immediately raises the energy level in a great way, making your heart race. Throughout the song, there's a sense of sadness and melancholy beneath the coolness, and you're gradually drawn into its world.
I thought that the combination of the protagonist Hakuro's irresistible love for his brother's wife, Kaede, whom he should never love, and the intriguing mystery elements as he gets caught up in solving a grand puzzle, would definitely make this drama exciting.
When we decided to adapt "Dangerous Venus" into a drama, we initially struggled to find a theme song that would be suitable for this love suspense story packed with various elements. But we are so幸せto have found a song that is even cooler, more poignant, and more captivating than we could have imagined.
I think a lot of people will really get into this song.
Please look forward to the broadcast!
