On November 16th, popular duo Kobukuro held a commemorative launch event in Kanagawa’s Enoshima Aquarium for their song, “Ryuusei” (Falling Star) on sale on November 17th. Since this same song is the theme song for Fuji TV’s September drama, “Nagareboshi,” it was fitting to announce the new song at the aquarium where the drama was shot. The Jellyfish Fantasy Hall reverberated the duo’s singing voices which fascinated the 80 invitees.
After the song, Kuroda Shunsuke laughed, “I thought ‘It might be a good song,’ if we sang it after they shot it here.” Kobuchi Kentaro talked about the creation of the song, “At first the original drama title was, ‘Kurage Marijji.’ My imagery was Kurage->Jellyfish->Space and from that I came upon ‘Ryuusei’ as the title of the song.”
Nagareboshi stars Ueno Aya and Takenouchi Yutaka.
Kobukuro’s single, “Ryuusei” (Falling Star) can be purchased at CDJapan.
