back number has been chosen to provide the theme song for the Fuji TV Monday 9pm drama "Umi no Hajimari," which will begin airing in July, with their newly written song "新しい恋人達に)!

This marks the first time in approximately nine years that they will be providing the theme song for a Fuji TV Monday 9pm drama, since "クリスマスソング" for the 2015 drama "5→9 ~From Five to Nine~".

Like the "クリスマスソング," this is an original song written and produced by Takeshi Kobayashi.

About "The Beginning of the Sea" and "新しい恋人達に"

When I encounter the innocence I lost long ago, when I witness a new generation creating things I could never have imagined myself, and when I see the birth of a new life, I suddenly feel that it's time to pass the baton. However, this is not so easy. I can't give up on my own life. But I also want to cherish it from the bottom of my heart.

The true words that I always keep locked away, thinking "I shouldn't tell anyone," were drawn out by each character in "The Beginning of the Sea," and the result of writing them out in a single, almost embarrassingly pure color called "myself" is the song "新しい恋人達に."

I hope that the suffering and sorrow associated with children, mothers, and fathers, their names, and their ideals, will be alleviated, even just a little, and that they will be cherished.
