■“I wrote this while looking at the light that coexists with the black part of myself” (Higuchiai)
Higuchi Ai has written a new song “If the rain is full” as the theme song for the TBS drama stream “Take me to the ends of hell”, which will start airing in January 2025.
The drama is a cruel and beautiful revenge drama starring Nozomi Sasaki and Nagisaki Shibuya that will air on TBS’s late-night drama slot “Drama Stream” starting at 11:56 pm on January 14, 2025. This is the first time Higuchi Ai is in charge of the theme song for a TBS drama. A new song written especially for the drama, “If the rain is full,” enlivens the dark worldview of the story.
The main character, Sachiko Tachibana (Nozomi Sasaki), was ridiculed as a “murderer’s daughter” during her high school days. Hanai Rena (Shibuya Nagisaki), who has become his only ally and has a gentle smile like an angel, has the face of a murderer who can easily kill people. Will an ordinary person who has dedicated his life to revenge be able to drive the monster to destruction?
The theme song “If the rain is full” is written and composed by Ai Higuchi, and the arrangement is based on the movie “What’s that?” Kenta Sakurai, who also collaborated with him on the theme song “Who” for “Dream”.
The hate, anguish, pain, and wavering emotions of Sachiko, who devotes herself and soul to revenge, are expressed more realistically with unique lyrics and singing voice, creating a song that lets you feel the light and darkness of the story.
Details such as song release information will be announced later. Let’s look forward to the follow-up of the drama “I’ll Take You to the Ends of Hell.”
In addition, HIGUCHIAI will hold a one-man live show “HIGUCHIAI ALL TIME BEST LIVE “Even if you’re not feeling well, let’s meet again” at Tokyo International Forum Hall C on December 14th.
Starting in January 2025, they will be embarking on a nationwide tour called “HIGUCHIAI ALL TIME BEST TOUR “Let’s meet again even if you’re not feeling well.” For details, please visit the official website.
■Higuchiai comment
Have you ever wanted to take revenge on someone? I am (sudden confession). But before I could get my revenge, that feeling disappeared. He was the person who hurt me the most in my life. It’s so hard to keep hating someone that much. I wrote this while looking at the light that coexists with the dark parts of myself. Please listen to it.
