Eikichi Yazawa to perform theme song for drama series for the first time in 28 years

It has been announced that singer Eikichi Yazawa will be in charge of the theme song for the drama series "The Last Appraiser" (Fuji TV, Wednesdays at 10pm) starring Naoto Fujiki. This will be Yazawa's first time in 28 years to perform a theme song for a drama series since "Best Partner" (TBS, 1997).

Yazawa's new song "Truth", the theme song for the drama, will be released for the first time in the first episode airing on July Getsuku. It is a slow and gentle ballad, with lyrics expressing the transience of love and sprinkled with the drama's key words "lies" and "truth", creating a worldview that is in keeping with the work.

Yazawa commented, "This is the first time in 28 years that I've teamed up with a drama. I'm very grateful that they chose Eikichi Yazawa's melody. The title is 'Truth,' and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction it will get in comparison to the drama ' The Last Appraiser.'"

The drama is based on the novel of the same name by Keiya Iwai. The protagonist, who was known as the "The Last Appraiser" and was an ace at the forensic science lab, uses a scientific approach to solve difficult cases in this science x mystery drama. Fujiki plays the role of Domon Makoto, a skilled expert, and Mai Shiraishi plays Takakura Shuuko, a researcher who supports the eccentric Domon.
