Motohiro Hata writes theme song for TBS drama "Mirai no Musuko," starring Mirai Shida
Motohiro Hata will be providing the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama "Mirai no Musuko," starring Mirai Shida, which premieres on January 13 at 10 p.m.
"Mirai no Musuko" is a drama based on the popular comic by Hajime Kuromugi. It portrays a time-traveling love story that begins when a boy named Sota, who claims to be the "future son," appears before Mirai Shiokawa, a woman in her late 20s whose dreams and career are on the brink.
Hata wrote the theme song, "Pocket ni Mahou wo Irete," after reading the original work and script and holding multiple meetings with the drama's staff. It is a song that provides the courage to move forward again when one is at a standstill. Regarding the song, Hata commented, "While getting inspiration from the earnest and endearing figure of the protagonist, Mirai, I created this song while thinking about how people move forward again when they get stuck in the midst of their desperate daily lives." After listening to the theme song, Shida said, "I think it's a song that gently supports the characters who, even if they aren't strong, move forward while hesitating." "Pocket ni Mahou wo Irete" will be released for digital download on January 20.
Motohiro Hata's Comment
The song "Pocket ni Mahou wo Irete" was inspired by the earnest and endearing figure of Mirai, the protagonist of the drama "Mirai no Musuko." I wrote it while thinking about how people move forward again when they get stuck in the midst of their desperate daily lives. I hope you will enjoy it along with the drama.
Mirai Shida's Comment
I was truly happy to hear that Mr. Hata had written the theme song this time. This song has a gentleness that stays with you on days when things don't go well or in moments when you're at a standstill, and it naturally overlapped with the world of "Mirai no Musuko." I think it's a song that gently supports the characters who, even if they aren't strong, move forward while hesitating. I would be happy if it reaches everyone's daily lives along with the drama!
