Singer CHARA has been picked to do the theme song for "Hebi ni Piasu" ("Snakes and Earrings"), opening on September 20. Directed by Yukio Ninagawa, the film is based on an Akutagawa Prize-winning novel by Hitomi Kanehara (more details here).
The theme song is a slow-tempo tune called "Kieru." CHARA composed the music, while Kanehara wrote the lyrics.
CHARA previously sang the theme for the 1996 film "Swallowtail," which she appeared in as part of the fictional group YEN TOWN BAND. "Kieru," however, will be her first movie theme song as a soloist.
The release date for the single has not yet been decided.
