The new track, a heartfelt composition, previously featured in the popular NHK drama "Vanilla Everyday," has been highlighted as a significant part of the show's narrative. Actor Kido Daisei, who portrays the lead singer of a rock band within the show, expressed his excitement at being part of the music video. "I am very happy to be able to inform everyone that I will be appearing in the MV for 'Kataomoi,'" Kido stated in a recent Instagram update, also mentioning the song's importance to him: "It's a very important song for me." His involvement is generating considerable anticipation among fans, reinforcing the strong connection between the drama and the band.
SUPER BEAVER, formed in Tokyo in 2005, has a diverse discography and a strong following. The band has performed nearly 100 live shows each year, showcasing their commitment to connecting with fans through live music. Their concert events have been extremely well-received, with their 2023 show at Fuji-Q Highland Conifer Forest attracting around 40,000 attendees over just two days. From September 2023, they embarked on a nationwide tour that included 21 shows, with all performances sold out, culminating in an impressive attendance of approximately 120,000 fans.
This upcoming single follows the band's successful renewal of their major label contract in April 2020 and the release of their previous hits, including songs for the "Tokyo Revengers" film series. Their 2021 track, "Sunana Na Kiran ku," served as the theme song for the first installment, gaining widespread popularity. Additionally, their recently released songs "Gdation" and "Fukaenainai" were selected as theme songs for the film's second part.
SUPER BEAVER is also gearing up to celebrate their 20th anniversary in April 2025, with a series of concerts planned including a special two-day event at ZOZO Marine Stadium on June 20 and 21, 2025, which has already sold out. Aside from their anniversary celebrations, the band is releasing their third full-length album titled "Ongaku" in February 2024. Moreover, the music video for "Kataomoi" will be streamed on the band’s official YouTube channel, promising to showcase their signature style and connect with fans directly.
As the release date approaches, excitement continues to build around both the new single and the music video. Fans and critics alike are eager to see how "Kataomoi" will resonate not only within the context of the NHK drama but also in the broader landscape of Japanese rock music. With growing anticipation, SUPER BEAVER is poised to maintain its position as a leading voice in the industry, celebrating two decades of contribution to the music scene.
