I wrote a song called “Sign” as the theme song.
After watching the script and the actual footage of the drama, I was able to experience the conflicts that Aoi and her friends had through the incident, the frustration of having nowhere to go, and the thoughts they derived from them. I wanted to create a piece of music that was linked to this.
There is justice in each person, and although they sometimes make mistakes, they continue to struggle desperately to become someone. I would be happy if this song “Sign” could grow together with them as the episodes progress. thank you.
