In addition to his overwhelming presence as an actor, Masaki Suda continues to captivate many fans as a singer.

This work is his third single, released in February 2018, and it was selected as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kiss That Kills.” The lyrics and composition were created by Hui Ishizaki, a singer-songwriter whom Suda deeply admires.

It’s a rock number that straightforwardly portrays the struggle of seeking love while being unable to escape loneliness, as well as the poignancy of parting.

The melody carries a touch of nostalgia, and the powerful, emotionally stirring lyrics leave a strong impression.

With relatively little variation in vocal range, it’s easy to sing and perfect for livening up a karaoke session.

The chorus, full of driving energy, is sure to create a sense of unity when everyone sings together.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to energize the mood at a post-drinks after-party.
