It was revealed on July 3rd that the theme song for the TBS drama series "Until the T-Shirt Drys" (Fridays at 10 PM), starring Yu Aoi, which will begin airing on July 10th, will be "Mishiranu Ito" by the popular band Spitz.
◇This is the first time in 25 years that a theme song has been used for a TBS drama. The song will be premiered during the first episode.
"Until the T-Shirt Drys" is a completely original story by screenwriter Miku Ubukata, known for hit works such as "silent" (Fuji TV), and this is her first time writing for a TBS drama. It depicts the "love" and "secrets" of two couples who are involved in a certain accident. The director is Hiroyasu Doi, who has worked on numerous hit dramas and films, including the movie "We Made a Beautiful Bouquet" (2021).
This marks Aoi's first leading role in a terrestrial television drama series in 18 years, since "Osen" (Nippon Television). It is also her first leading role on the TBS network. Other cast members announced include Ayumu Nakajima, Fumiya Takahashi, Kaho, and Kenichi Matsuyama.
The theme song, "Mishiranu Ito," is a new song written by Spitz specifically for this drama. This marks Spitz's first time providing a theme song for a TBS drama in 25 years, since "Haruka" for the Sunday drama "Love Story" in April 2001.
The theme song, which vocalist and guitarist Masamune Kusano said he created "hopefully adds another layer of color to the drama," will be premiered during the first episode.
◇ Comment from Masamune Kusano of "Spitz"
When I saw the script, it was a completely new type of story I'd never seen before, so I deliberately tried not to "link too closely" to it, but I hoped that this would ultimately add another layer of flavor and color to the drama. I hope it resonates with viewers.
