The songwriting and singing voice of vocalist Ryoya Yamaguchi are the biggest attraction, and the rock band “Absolute Area” has gained tremendous support from the same generation. Their new song “Happiness is that kind of casualness” will be released on Thursday 24th “Weekend” The secret of the journey 2 ~Family is close but far away~” has been selected as the opening theme.
Broadcast in July 2023, it will be a new and unlikely “travel drama” that reconsiders what it means to be a “couple” through an overwhelming “travel emotion,” “scenery,” and “travel.” “The Secret of a Weekend Trip.” ”. A drama that attracted a lot of attention in season 1 with a story with the theme of “couple” starring Arisa Mizuki, and now the second season of the sequel, with a new cast of characters and the beginning of a new story with the theme of “family.” It is. This work will be broadcast on TV Tokyo every Thursday at 24:30 from Thursday, January 9th.
“Happiness is as simple as that” is a gentle and honest lyric that describes how simple happiness can be and how grateful you are to have someone who cares about you. The heart-warming melody colors the drama, and it has been decided that it will be released on January 15, 2025 (Wednesday).
“Happiness is as casual as that” has been selected as the opening theme for “The Secret of a Weekend Trip 2 ~Family is so close but so far away~”!
I feel like the family in the drama and my family are a little similar, and while writing the song, it gave me an opportunity to think about what “family” means to me again. There are people who care about me. That’s why I feel like I’m not alone.
I put that message into the song and created the song with great care. Please listen to it along with the drama!
