YUKI's new song, "STARMANN", has been chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV/Kansai TV's upcoming drama, 'Star Man ~Kono Hoshi no Koi~'.
The drama stars Hirosue Ryoko as the lead role and is directed by Tsutsumi Yoshihiko. YUKI wrote the song's lyrics upon reading the drama's script. "When I expressed the feelings of the protagonist played by Hirosue Ryoko-san, who wishes to be with 'Hoshio', I was captivated by the fascination of music, and it turned out to be a song about a girl who falls strongly in love," she commented.
Meanwhile, Hirosue said, "I already choke up when hearing YUKI-chan's voice, but I was drawn into the worldview of this song which sings about a girl's insecurities, wishes, and feelings of love that cannot be put into words."
Tsutsumi added, "Okada-san's amazing story and YUKI-san's intense POP theme song! How powerful! As a closet fan who always plays her songs in the car, I am inspired!"
'Star Man ~Kono Hoshi no Koi~' is a love story about a single mother named 'Uno Sawako' who falls in love with a mysterious young man named 'Hoshio' (Fukushi Sota) at first sight. It will air every Tuesday nights starting July 9th.
