■He talks about the charm he feels towards Kazumasa Oda, whom he has loved since childhood, and the valuable secrets of their interactions!

The music program “The Covers” is currently being broadcast on NHK BS. Singing photos and highlights for the December 5th broadcast have been announced.

The guest is Kou Shibasaki. As an actor, he has appeared in many masterpieces, and as a singer, he has released many hit songs with his delicate singing voice and expressiveness.

This time, with her cover, we will deliver famous songs that color the works that Shibasaki has appeared in as an actor, based on the concept of “traversing the four seasons”.

The cover song is Kazumasa Oda’s “Woh Woh” (insert song in the final episode of the drama “Ando Lloyd”), which is a song that makes you feel spring. In the talk, he talks about the charm he feels towards Oda, whom he has loved since childhood, and the valuable secrets behind their interactions.

The song that will be performed as a summer masterpiece is Tatsuro Yamashita’s “RIDE ON TIME” (the theme song for the drama “GOOD LUCK!!”). He talks about the charm of Tatsuro Yamashita’s singing voice and what he valued when singing this song in relation to the drama.

And King Gnu’s “Glass Window” (theme song for the movie “Mystery to Iitere”) has a feeling of autumn in its worldview. He talks about the melody of this song and its affinity with drama, as well as the uniqueness and charm of King Gnu’s songs.

In addition, from the performance video that Shibasaki performed in 2015 in “The Covers”, we also present a cover video of Motohiro Hata’s “Ai”, which is a song you want to listen to in winter. He talks about the universal appeal and feelings this song has.

We will also look back on Shibasaki, who continues to be active as an actor and singer, in 2024.

December 2024 is finally here. At the end of the year, Shibasaki sings a song that celebrates the seasons together. MC Lily Franky and Moka Kamishiraishi were also mesmerized by their singing voices. It was a very exciting recording.

Kou Shibasaki puts his thoughts into each song and creates a unique worldview. Let’s look forward to the broadcast with photos of the singing scene.
