Ado to handle theme song for Kanna Hashimoto-starring drama "Yandoku!"; lyrics and composition by Niru Kajitsu
It has been decided that Ado's new song "Angel Seek" will be the theme song for the drama "Yandoku!", which will begin broadcasting on Jan. 12 at 9 p.m.
Starring Kanna Hashimoto, "Yandoku!" is a drama in which Konoha Tanoue, who used to be a rough delinquent, studies furiously following the accidental death of her best friend to become a neurosurgeon, breathing new life into the medical field. The newly written theme song "Angel Seek" was written, composed, and arranged by Niru Kajitsu, and is a track featuring a straight rock sound and tricky lyrics.
Ado Comment
I will be handling the theme song for the drama "Yandoku!" The song was written for this by Niru Kajitsu. Niru Kajitsu has written a song for me before, but "Angel Seek," written for this occasion, is very cool and rock, with a sense of speed like dashing through. I think the lyrics also really represent "Yandoku!" and it has become a perfect song for it.
I want everyone to hear it soon.
Please look forward to the song and the drama broadcast.
Kanna Hashimoto Comment
Ado-san previously handled the theme song for a work I appeared in (the movie "Karada Sagashi," 2022), and with this new song as well, I felt Ado-san's characteristic power, and it linked with the thrilling medical entertainment aspect of "Yandoku!"
Ado-san is someone who can freely use various vocal tones depending on the song, but for "Angel Seek," I feel she hit us with Ado-san's characteristic powerful voice at full throttle. That is why her cool singing voice was conveyed directly. It is truly amazing that she can produce a singing voice that exudes a depth of life experience despite being younger than me.
There were also parts of the lyrics that connected with the way of life of the protagonist, Konoha. It resembles the worldview of the lyrics where Konoha says she is "betting her life on the job of a doctor" without shame, and pushes forward to where she wants to go without caring about others' eyes at all, even if it is thought to be uncool. In particular, I think the line "You don't have to listen to words that reject you or voices of fear" sings the feelings of Konoha, who never flinches even if she is placed in an environment where it is difficult to fulfill her duties as a doctor.
