On April 29th, at the ending of the 4th episode of the Monday drama “366 Days”, a collaborative version of “366 Days” by HY and Takaya Kawasaki (*main photo) was aired.

In 2024, a leap year that occurs once every four years, the monthly drama “366 Days” began broadcasting on Fuji TV from April 8th. This work is an original love story inspired by the worldview of HY’s representative song “366 Days”. This is an epic love story about a man and woman who try again to fulfill the love that didn’t come true in their high school days, and continue to yearn for the person they love even in the face of unexpected tragedy.

After the ending of the second episode, instead of the theme song HY’s “366 Days (Official Duet ver.),” a collaboration version of “366 Days,” a duet between HY’s Izumi Nakasone and a male artist, was aired as a surprise. Furthermore, the music distribution will start after that, and the weekly dream collaboration that can only come true in this 9 monthly drama is attracting attention.

The second episode features a collaboration with Sukima Switch Takuya Ohashi, and the third episode features collaboration with JO1 Yonashiro Sho. The collaboration movie currently being released, “366 Days” with Ohashi, has currently exceeded 1 million views. “366 Days” with Yonashiro is currently ranking among the most popular videos on YouTube.

It was also revealed on April 29th that the artist for episode 4 will be Takaya Kawasaki. From 10pm on the same day, the song will be distributed on various distribution sites as “366 days feat. Takaya Kawasaki”. A collaboration movie was also released on YouTube.

HY “366 days feat. Takaya Kawasaki”

For Kawasaki, HY’s “366 Days” was a special song that she sang at her high school’s school festival, which made her want to become a singer. “366” will be included in Kawasaki’s first cover EP “White” to be released in 2022. This cover led to a collaboration on the YouTube channel called “366 Days” with Kawasaki singing the main melody and Izumi Nakasone singing the chorus. The video has been viewed more than 9 million times, proving that the two are a good match. This time, Kawasaki will be participating as a chorus member on “366 Days,” and it will be interesting to see what kind of harmony the two will create.

“366 Days” is a song released by HY in 2008. At that time, it was released as a solo vocal song by Izumi Nakasone (Key & Vo), but now, “366 Days (Official Duet ver.)” has been completed as the theme song for the drama, with new vocals by Hideyuki Niisato (Vo & Gut). . At the end of the first episode, a duet with Niisato, “366 Days,” was aired, and Nakasone and Niisato’s double vocals created a beautiful harmony and dialogue that resonated with the sad story of two people who love each other but pass each other. However, it brings out the charm of the song, which is different from the original.

Even 16 years after its release, “366 Days” is a heartbreaking heartbreak song about a love that cannot be fulfilled.It has been covered by many artists, and is loved and sung by generations.

Who are the male artists who will be collaborating at the ending of the next broadcast? Let’s enjoy predicting the artists as well as the future of the drama’s story.

■Takaya Kawasaki comment
I’m very happy to be able to sing “366 Days”, which I covered once, with IZ and HY again.
I had a lot of fun recording this song, which I’m used to singing.
No matter when or how many times I sing it, I feel emotion.
I hope we can sing together on stage again next time.
■Comment from Izumi Nakasone (HY)
Thank you very much, Takaya Kawasaki.
Takaya once did the cover for “366 Days,” and I was the one who did the harmonization, but this time it was a different kind of harmonization, and Takaya’s strengths really came out. It was very pleasant to listen to.
I hope everyone can feel that comfort as well.
