The new song “IT’S SHOWTIME” by the 7-member dance and vocal group GENIC will be featured in the Chukyo TV/Nippon TV Wednesday platinum drama “Konokodokoro Betrayai Meshi – Calling the Arashi”, which will begin broadcasting on January 15, 2025 (Wednesday). It has been decided that it will be the theme song for “Seven Officers”.
“IT’S SHOWTIME” was written specifically for this drama, and the lyrics were written by members Ryuuki Koike, Atsushi Masuko, and Sho Amemiya.
The drama is a heartwarming gourmet comedy that revolves around surprising “betrayal meals” that stand out from the famous and local gourmet food from all over the country.
The theme song “IT’S SHOWTIME” also has lyrics that are peppered with gourmet-related wordplay, and GENIC, who is in the middle of the Z generation and is making his Reiwa debut, will perform with a classic J-POP sound reminiscent of the 90s. Please pay attention to the fascinating “betrayal”.
GENIC, who has been chosen as the theme song, has achieved No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Ranking with his album released this year, and is scheduled to perform at Nippon Budokan for the first time on November 5, 2025.
Individual members are active in a wide variety of fields, including acting, writing, and modeling, and as a group that is known for its wide range of performances unique to a male-female group, it has now become an artist that is attracting attention not only in Japan but also overseas.
The theme song “IT’S SHOWTIME” will be included in the GENIC 4th ALBUM “if” to be released on February 5, 2025.
