The new Avex-produced unit GIRL NEXT DOOR is off to a great start. After seeing their debut single reach #3 in September, the group has already announced their third single, and it has been chosen as the theme song of a TV Asahi drama series this fall.
"Jonetsu no Daisho" is being used as the theme for the manga adaptation "Giragira," which stars Kuranosuke Sasaki as a middle-aged man who returns to his former job as a host in order to provide for his family.
The song, which hits stores on November 19, is GIRL NEXT DOOR's third single in three consecutive months. Their second single, "Drive Away," has been given a tie-in with a Toyota commercial, and it goes on sale next week.
