“a r e a” is the theme song for the fifth season of the the TV Asahi drama “Kaseifu no Mitazono”, starring Kei Inoo. This is the third time that Hey! Say! JUMP has been in charge of a song for this drama, following the third season’s ending theme “Ai dake ga Subete -What do you want?-” and the fourth season’s opening theme “Last Mermaid…”

“Koi wo Surunda” serves as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Ore no Kawaii wa Mousugu Shouhi Kigen!?”, which stars Ryosuke Yamada. “Haru Tsubame” is the theme song for the NTV anime series “Love All Play.” The song was written by sumika‘s Kataoka Kenta, with composition by his bandmate Ogawa Takayuki.

“a r e a / Koi wo Surunda / Haru Tsubame” will come in four editions. Each A-side will have its own CD+DVD limited edition, in addition to the CD only regular edition. Each of the limited editions will feature its A-side’s key color and item. All three colors are in turn featured in the cover art of the regular edition.

While only the teaser video for the first A-side has been released, the music videos for the other two A-sides can be found below!
