It has been revealed that the new song "Ghost" by the seven-member Korean girl group "BABYMONSTER" has been chosen as the theme song for the movie " Mieruko-chan " (directed by Nanoka Hara Nakamura, to be released on June 6th), starring actress Nanoka Hara. This is the first time that BABYMONSTER has been in charge of the theme song for a Japanese movie.
The movie is based on the horror comedy manga by Izumi Tomoki, which has sold over 3 million copies in Japan and was also made into a TV anime. One day, high school girl Yotsuya Miko (Hara) suddenly starts seeing spirits, and she chooses to "ignore" them. If the spirits realize that she can see them, Miko fears what will happen, so she pretends to be calm and continues to ignore them. However, when the shadow of a spirit creeps up on even her best friend, will Miko be able to continue ignoring the spirits? This is the story.
Regarding the theme song "Ghost," BABYMONSTER said, "This song is about the strength to not be swayed by the voices of those around you and to forge ahead on the path you believe in. We would be happy if this song, along with the movie, becomes an empowering song for all people living today."
The producer of " Mieruko-chan" also commented, "The seven girls' individuality, world-class singing ability, and the uplifting harmonies and sharp raps create a rich groove that will make anyone dance when they hear it, making it the best dance music that's scary, cool, and fun."
