Dai Hirai to provide theme song for 'Meitantei no Mamade ite,' gently depicting the feelings of the teacher and grandfather buddy duo
Dai Hirai's new song "Nagoribana" has been chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi network drama "Meitantei no Mamade ite," which begins broadcasting on July 17.
"Meitantei no Mamade ite" is a human mystery based on Masateru Konishi's novel of the same name, which won the 21st Grand Prize at the "'Kono Mystery ga Sugoi!' Grand Prize." A buddy duo consisting of an elementary school teacher named Kaede, played by Ai Yoshikawa, and her grandfather who suffers from Lewy body dementia, played by Eiji Okuda, tackle various mysteries. In addition to Yoshikawa and Okuda, the cast includes Keito Tsuna, Yuri Tsunematsu, Hisashi Yoshizawa, and Aloha Takamatsu (Bullet Train).
The theme song "Nagoribana" is a medium ballad newly written by Hirai for this drama. With phrases such as, "I wonder if I'll eventually forget? The scenery you were in, and that kindness too," and "Finding traces in the gaps of the weather," it gently depicts the feelings of Kaede and her grandfather.
Dai Hirai Comment
Even as the seasons turn and the scenery changes, there are feelings that bloom unchangingly within me.
I wrote this so that one can feel such flowers of emotion in their everyday life.
I would be happy if it gently overlaps with this story and softly blooms in the hearts of everyone watching.
