I wrote this song especially for this drama. Lately, my songs have been dark, but this drama contains “Napoleon” in the title and is about never giving up. I pulled my passion out of my heart and wrote this song. It’s unlike any of my recent songs.

Seiji Kameda produced “KIMINO KODO WA KIMINISHIKA NARASENAI”. It has a powerful and beautiful sound that captures the spirit of the drama. The song compliments Ken Hirai’s soulful voice and will be performed for the first time on TBS TV’s 60th anniversary show, “ONGAKU NO HI 2015”, on June 27. Details and released date for the single will be announced at a later date.
