Shota Aratani writes a new song for the movie "Blue Period" with Yaffle, "Mata Aou"

It has been announced that Shota Aratani will be participating in the theme song for the film “Blue Period,” which will be released on Friday, August 9th.

The song “Mata Aou” was written and sung by Shota Aratani, and composed by music producer Yaffle. The soundtrack for the movie “Blue Period”, which includes “Mata Aou” and 31 other songs, will be released digitally on Wednesday, August 7th, just before the movie is released.

The movie “Blue Period” is a live-action adaptation of the popular manga by Tsubasa Yamaguchi, winner of the Manga Taisho 2020 Award. It is a coming-of-age drama about a high school boy who leads an empty life but decides to seriously challenge the world of art, armed only with passion. The main cast includes Go Ayano, Fumiya Takahashi, Rihito Itagaki, and Hiyori Sakurada, and is attracting attention for its appearance by some of the most brilliant young actors today.

In addition, Shota Aratani has announced that he will be making his major debut with his new single “Ame” on August 23rd (Friday) under Universal Music’s Polydor Records. In addition to the teaser video that builds anticipation, an official interview has also been released, in which he talks about his decision to leave the band Yonawo and his feelings leading up to his debut.

The song “Mata Aou” was written specifically for the movie, and is filled with hope that they will meet again at the end of their respective paths. Shota Aratani is breaking new ground as a solo artist. I would like to continue to follow his movements in the future.

[Comment from Shota Aratani]

When I heard about this role, I read the original work for the first time, and I have become a big fan of this work!
She faces what she wants to do head-on, and although she is confused, she draws with a brilliant imagination.
It’s a song filled with hope that they will meet again at the end of their respective paths!
