■”I listened to the songs with high expectations of what kind of chords the members of BUDDiiS would DIY.” (Ri Mitsuto Itagaki)
The poster visual for “THE TOP SECRET”, a Monday 22:00 Monday slot drama on Kantele Fuji TV, starring Ri Mitsuto Itagaki and Yuto Nakajima, has been released.
This work is set in the Ninth Forensic Laboratory of the National Police Research Institute, commonly known as “The Ninth,” and uses special MRI technology that can reproduce the deceased’s memories before they were alive as images to solve cases that were considered unsolvable. A human suspense story that uncovers the truth. In cases of heinous and serious crimes, when the victim or criminal dies, their brains are placed in a special MRI scanner and their memories from when they were alive are visualized in an MRI investigation.
Itagaki will play Tsuyoshi Takigi, the head of the Ninth, while Nakajima will play Katsuhiro Suzuki, a former member of the Ninth who was more than a close friend of Takigi, and Suzuki and two new investigators who will later be assigned to the Ninth.・He played two roles in Kazuyuki Aoki’s role, and the creation of “the most heartbreaking buddy ever” has become a hot topic. Additionally, Mugi Kadowaki will play the role of Yukiko Miyoshi, an anatomist who was a friend of the two from their university days and also the fiancée of the deceased Suzuki.
The released poster visual shows the three of them taking a photo in a green environment, but while they look happy, there is a filter on them that makes them look like they have been scanned, and their inner feelings are hidden. are being looked at and analyzed. Nakajima’s profile data overlaps with “Katsuhiro Suzuki” and “Kazuyuki Aoki,” creating a mysterious visual that raises questions about whether this is the past of the three of them or a scene from their future.
In addition, a gorgeous and talented cast including Tsuyoshi Toshige, Hidekazu Mashima, and Yui Narumi will appear. The theme song has been decided to be the new song “Iris” by the up-and-coming dance vocal group BUDDiiS.
The Commissioner of the National Police Agency, played by Toshige, is the top person in charge of the Scientific Police Research Institute, to which the Ninth belongs. While he appreciates the Ninth’s investigative methods and firewood’s abilities, he is concerned that an inconvenient truth may come to light through the MRI investigation, which is still viewed as ethically questionable. Mikio Takimoto, played by Majima, is one of the 9th elite investigators. His role is to work on an MRI investigation with Takigi and Suzuki, but a shocking development later occurs. Ritsuko Sugai, also known as “Suga-chan”, played by Narumi, is an assistant dissection who supports Yukiko. Although she is an excellent anatomist, Yukiko is clumsy in her private life and is bad at love. Although she is her junior, she speaks her true feelings without hesitation, and appears as a unique sister-like figure who is the only one who can tell Yukiko out.

The title of BUDDiiS’s “Iris”, which was chosen as the theme song, means “iris of the eye”. It is a song that evokes memories that remain in the eyes, and has a sad yet warm feeling that goes hand in hand with the drama. The lyrics and music were written and composed by music producer UTA, who has provided songs to many famous artists. The lyrics were co-produced with KEVIN, a member of BUDDiiS who has been involved in music production.

■BUDDiiS Comments
I was very excited when I heard about the theme song. I’m really looking forward to the drama and want to see the first episode as soon as possible. This song has the theme of love becoming deeper and deeper, and I think it fits well with the content of the drama. I think there are many forms of love, but I want to convey a new kind of love with this song. We will do our best to liven up the drama as much as possible with our songs. Ladies and gentlemen, please listen!■Comment from Ri Mitsuto Itagaki
As I listened to the songs, I was excited to see what kind of chords the members of BUDDiiS would DIY. The way not only the person I play, Tsuyoshi Takigi, but all the people who live in this story, quietly reveal their true weaknesses, which they keep secret close to their hearts, is a symbol of this work. I think it’s a song that has. Thank you for delivering wonderful music that will support me as I work on my future works. I’m already looking forward to seeing what kind of chemical reaction the theme song will have with the main story.
