Newcomer singer Serena to sing the theme song for "Shomuni"

Newcomer singer Serena who is a 19-year-old university student, will be making her major debut by singing the theme song for FujiTV's summer 2013 drama "Shomuni" which will be shown from 10 July at 10pm on Wednesdays. The theme song titled "Pink no Dangan" (Pink Bullet) will be released as a single on 21 August.

Serena started to get interested in music after singing the song "We Are The World" during a homestay in the United States where she was on a short-term study trip. Upon returning to Japan, she raised the idea of creating her own demo tape to her father who later passed it to an acquaintance who was working at Ken-On. The agency then offered Serena a contract to be a singer under them the following day after receiving the demo tape. Serena performed in front of a 10,000-strong audience at Yokohama Arena before her high school graduation in spring this year and is now attending university in Tokyo.
