The drama stars Snow Man‘s Meguro Ren and Kawaguchi Haruna, playing Sakura Sou and Aoba Tsumugi, respectively. Sou and Tsumugi begin dating in high school, bound by their mutual love of music. After graduation, he suddenly disappears. Eight years later, Tsumugi has started a new life, when she sees Sou. He is suffering from sensorineural hearing loss, a condition that gradually makes people deaf.

On October 19, Suiyoubi no Campanella will release a new double A-side digital single, “Tinker Bell / Nabe Bugyo.”

“Nabe Bugyo” is the theme song for the third season of the NHK E anime series “Mairimashita! Iruma-kun.” Of the song, Kenmochi Hidefumi said that he imagined the kind of food the devil would cook, and then made a song based on that. Utaha, a fan of the original manga, was very happy about the tie-in.

While “Nabe Bugyo” doesn’t have a music video, “Tinker Bell” does. It has been released in tandem with the digital single. Check it out below!

On October 17, 20th Century will release their new digital single, “Suiyoubi.” The song serves as the CM song for “Nivea Men Active Age Series”, in which the trio stars, making them the first Japanese men to do so.

“Suiyoubi” was provided to 20th Century by mitsume. The song is very reminiscent of the band, courtesy of the repeated guitar riffs and its rhythm. The song has the message of overcoming a slightly depressing Wednesday and soldiering through the rest of the work week.

The music video for “Suiyoubi” was recently released. In it, 20th Century look forward to Wednesday with a brave face, but then keep their spirits up to make it to the weekend! Check it out below!
