Vaundy writes theme song for "Saba Kan, Uchuu e Iku," a drama starring Takumi Kitamura
Vaundy will provide the theme song for the new Monday 9 p.m. drama "Saba Kan, Uchuu e Iku," which will begin airing on the Fuji TV network on April 13.
"Saba Kan, Uchuu e Iku" is a school drama based on the book "Saba no Kanzume, Uchuu e Iku" by Yasuyuki Kosaka and Kimiyo Hayashi. The work is based on the true story of students at a marine high school in Fukui who, across generations, took on the grand dream of "space food development," and it stars Takumi Kitamura (DISH//).
Vaundy wrote the new song "Idea ga Afurete Nemurenai" as the theme for "Saba Kan, Uchuu e Iku." "Idea ga Afurete Nemurenai" is a song that expresses the "energy of people earnestly chasing their dreams" depicted in the drama. Vaundy commented on the song, saying, "The brilliance of an idea is instantaneous, and I feel it is a difficult thing, like trying to catch a spark or a flash of light. 'Idea ga Afurete Nemurenai' is a song that expresses my own state of getting excited when facing that difficulty."
Along with this announcement, the drama's poster visual has been released.
Vaundy's Comment
I believe that the seeds of ideas we have are always within our own lives, and the act of our words and thoughts recalling them, reconsidering them at the speed of light or even faster, or sometimes pulling them in from a completely different world, is what we call "creating an idea."
The brilliance of that idea is instantaneous, and I feel it is a difficult thing, like trying to catch a spark or a flash of light.
"Idea ga Afurete Nemurenai" is a song that expresses my own state of getting excited when facing that difficulty.
I'm sure the characters in this story also passed on that baton of excitement. I hope this song creates a ripple effect that spreads to everyone watching the drama.
Comment from Takayuki Innami (MARUC / Art Director)
From the positive title "Saba Kan, Uchuu e Iku," while valuing a worldview that evokes hope and excitement, a visual was born where the teacher (Kitamura) holds up a can of mackerel, and everyone looks beyond it. Just like in the story, things that can't be created alone can be moved forward by combining everyone's wisdom and ideas. I would be happy if the joy and feeling of that could be conveyed through this single image.
