Kana Uemura’s song “Toilet no Kamisama” will be turned into a 2-hour drama special on TBS, it has been learned. The song, which is nearly 10 minutes in length, tells of Uemura’s relationship with her grandmother, from her childhood to her grandmother’s death. The song has been a major hit this year, earning Uemura multiple awards, as well as invitations to several year-end music shows, including NHK’s upcoming Kohaku Uta Gassen.
