When it comes to the duo of Shinji Tanimura and Yuzo Kayama, most people think of Sarai, but does anyone remember this song that was used as the new theme for the 24-Hour Television broadcast in 2007? Since it wasn’t used from 2008 onward, it occupies a somewhat modest place in their catalog.
Incidentally, Tackey & Tsubasa, who served as the main hosts of the 2007 24-Hour Television broadcast, also took part in the recorded version.
