The song “You are so amazing” was used in the scene where Yuzo goes off to war in the May 24th broadcast (episode 40) of the 2024 first half morning drama “Wings of a Tiger,” and in the scene where Torako is crying in the today’s broadcast (episode 44), and is currently creating a buzz.
The song played in these two scenes was the film song “You are so amazing”. The lyrics and composition were written by Yuta Mori, who is in charge of the film’s music, and the song was sung by Stuart Murdoch, the vocalist of the Scottish band “Belle and Sebastian”, which continues to attract neo-acoustic and indie fans around the world. The unexpected appearance of Belle and Sebastian surprised and moved music fans. In addition, her gentle and warm singing voice struck a chord with many “Wings of the Tiger” fans, so much so that “Belle and Sebastian” was trending on X (formerly Twitter).
We received a video comment from Stuart, the frontman of “Belseba,” who will also be performing at this year’s SUMMER SONIC 2024. The comment is as follows:
“Hello everyone in Japan. This is Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian. I’m currently in Bordeaux, France. I just wanted to let you know how wonderful it was to be able to sing “You are so amazing”, a song from the movie “Wings of the Tiger” composed by Yuta Mori. I’m happy and grateful to be able to be involved in a work that has the theme of women’s liberation, which is also the core of Belle and Sebastian. I’m going to Japan this summer. I hope I can sing this song there. Bye.”
