As previously reported, Singer AI and comedian Naomi Watanabe have teamed up for the opening theme of TBS drama “Kanna-san!“, which stars Watanabe as the titular character.

Based on the manga series “Kanna-san!” by Kahoru Fukaya, the drama follows Kanna Suzuki (Watanabe) who works as a fashion designer.
