Nobuyuki Suzuki will be in charge of the theme song “Shogai HERO” for the Tokai TV/Fuji TV Saturday drama “Bantman,” in which he stars. The song will be released digitally on October 13th.

Nobuyuki Suzuki is well known as an actor, having appeared in numerous movies and dramas, but his entrance into this world came in 2010 with the LDH Vocal Battle Audition 2. After working in the EXILE theater troupe, he has built up his career and now he has been chosen to star in a film and sing the theme song.

“Buntman” is a sports entertainment drama that depicts the second life of a professional baseball player who sends someone else’s chance like a sacrifice bunt. Also pay attention to the first tag with the Chunichi Dragons.

The theme song “Shogai HERO” was produced by HIPPY, a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima whose song “Kimi ni Desserturu Oenka” has been viewed 27.7 million times on YouTube. Nobuyuki Suzuki’s singing voice, which is accompanied by a refreshing rock sound centered around the guitar and which expresses his passion in the lyrics and melody, is sure to encourage many listeners.

“Lifetime HERO” will be released digitally on October 13th.

■Comment from Nobuyuki Suzuki
I have been given the opportunity to perform the theme song for “Bantman.”
Singing a theme song was my first experience and it was one of my dreams.
I am filled with gratitude to the people who made this happen.
In order to create a heart-warming baseball-themed piece, we wanted to ask HIPPY to compose the music, and he readily agreed.
Thank you HIPPY.
Through music he expressed the anxiety, pressure, and other inner conflicts that we all experience in our daily lives.
Above all, I hope that as many people as possible will listen to and share the thoughts of HIPPY, who read the drama’s script and created a song from scratch that perfectly matches the drama.
I feel that the title of “hero” doesn’t necessarily mean accomplishing something grand, but rather it comes from being grateful for the small things that happen every day and showing a little consideration to those around you.
I want everyone to be a hero like that.
I want to be a hero like that to someone.
If you think so, then
I think it will be a meaningful song!
The song “Shogai HERO” will be performed along with the drama.
I would be happy if you could listen to it.

■HIPPY Comment
This time, it was a wonderful encounter
I am very happy that you chose me to compose the song.
The title of the drama starring Suzuki Nobuyuki is
I heard it was Buntman.
“Bunt?! What kind of story is this?”
I read the script,
Ohto’s words in the first episode warmed my heart.
Tears came to my eyes.
I played baseball until high school, but then I quit.
But that wasn’t something I gave up on that day.
I stand on stage telling myself that I chose the microphone that day.
Dreams change shape, but this life shines
Each and every one of us is a hero until we die.
I titled it “Lifelong HERO.”
How much support has been given to me up to this day?
Live today as someone wanted to live.
To everyone watching the drama,
Each character has their own story
I think there will be many moments when it feels like it’s happening to you.
After reading the script, I became a big fan of Buntman and all the characters.
It warms my heart! And yet somehow it’s warm and gentle.
Anyway, I love everything about it
I was so grateful to be able to write a song for such a wonderful piece.
I had so much fun and became so immersed in the work that I got the OK on the first try.
Suzuki Nobuyuki’s singing voice is also heartwarming and fits the song perfectly!
I am truly looking forward to it airing!!!
