Koji Miyamoto’s new song “close your eyes” has been chosen as the new ending theme for TBS’s “news23.”

It was carefully crafted with Miyamoto’s most trusted producer, Takeshi Kobayashi, and was completed with the participation of band members who will be accompanying him on tour.

Celebrating the 5th anniversary of his solo career, Miyamoto’s gentle yet powerful singing voice, which has opened up new horizons, will be heard as the ending theme for “news23” on September 30th. Distribution will start from October 1st.
