Ayu will sing the theme of the new NHK drama 「Beauty and boys」
 

A ONE is yet to be released but we already know that a new song called "Step by step" (not included in this album) will be the theme of the new NHK drama 「Beauty and boys」 starring actress Yukie Nakama !
No details about a future release at the moment !

Edit : This will be an up-tempo song with a strong positive message ! The drama will start on April 14 and will end on August 25 for a total of 20 episodes.

that's GREAT news! i hope it's a physical release and not a digital only like how beautiful you are and Hello new me. glad to see she's getting a new tie-in.

Holy shit I just saw Kayzu tweeted about this. I hope the song's good.

(Also, I kind of want the B'z evolution rumor to be true)

Amazing! That's a pretty big deal tbh.

Unfortunately I believe that the rumor with B'z was a fake :/
I read a lot of comments on Mixi saying it was not a reliable information ...

The CD shop thing must have been false then? Or maybe we'll get a quick announcement on the 8th? I STILL BEWEAVE.

that's too bad. that would have been the most epic thing that ever happened in the history of mankind.

Oh yes it's amazing !! NHK added that this Drama is a big deal for them they put a lot of budget and everything ! This time it's a big opportunity for her ! The Drama will spread over 5 month if the audiences are good and by extension her song she can have a little hit with this one !

The strange thing is why they didn't put it on A ONE ??

Probably so it can get its own single?

Also I think this makes the drama collection make so much more sense.

They describe it as a 'fight song' so maybe it'll be like Beautiful Fighters?

Yes probably it was so sudden this "recollection" of DRAMA songs lol I'm excited because this afternoon I thought it would be cool if she sang the song of a new drama XD basically they heard me

So excitedddd.

Step by step, day by day...

Great!

My inner New Kids On The Block fan wishes this was a cover of their Step By Step lol Totally surprised though that a new song will be arriving not to long after A ONE though. Can't wait. Just one more thing to look forward to!

STOP LOL.

I'd die. Then come back and die again

AYUMA IS ON ROLL!!! OMFG

This is nice to know that barely a week after the album release we'll get another new song c: And yes people were worried that this was her first album without a drama/movie tie-in so this is even better! ♥

That's nice!

Great! Is Yukie Nakama still popular? I remember she hosted Kohaku? And was in Shinobi:Heart Under Blade which had HEAVEN as the theme song :D

Daaaaayumn, home girl is on a roll. I hope the song is great and she knocks everyone out of the park with it!
