Rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN will be singing the theme song for TBS Summer 2016 drama "Aogeba Totoshi" which will begin its run from 17 July in the Sundays 9pm timeslot. The song titled "Aria"  is the first drama theme song from the band since "firefly" which was released in September 2012 for the FujiTV drama "Iki mo dekinai natsu".

The band commented that they are very honoured to have received this offer and have put in their best to produce this theme song. As they were also supported by the people around them during their schooling days while pursuing their music dream, they could identify with the drama's story and is eagerly looking forward to its broadcast. The producer of the drama Sato Yoshihiro commented that when he heard the completed song, he was impressed by the delicate vocals and powerful melody so he was very glad to be able to engage the band to produce this song and is confident that the song will be able to reflect the bittersweet days of youth as depicted in the drama.
