It was revealed that the title song of the new sakanaction single releasing on 23rd January 2013 will be used as a theme song of a drama. Single details have also been revealed.

The new single will be titled "Music" (ミュージック), and will be the theme song of the Fuji TV drama "dinner" starting 13 January 2013, which stars Eguchi Yosuke and Kurashina Kana. It airs every Sunday at 9PM JST. The story takes place in a restaurant setting.

Of the title track, frontman Yamaguchi Ichiro says it is an ambitious work that talks about "What kind of direction should we (sakanaction) be facing to go towards for music?" and it was made into a song from this line of thought.

The coupling song in the single is curiously titled "Eiga (Konte 2012/11/16 17:24)" (映画（コンテ 2012/11/16 17:24）). In English, that means "Movie (Continuity 2012/11/16 17:24)".

This will mark the second time a sakanaction song is used as a drama theme song, after "Boku to Hana".


Yay for more publicity, but nay if Music is going to sound as underwhelming as Boku to Hana was for me. On the other hand, the coupling song has a really interesting title. Excitedly awaiting this new release.
