Mr.Children's song "HANABI" to be the theme song of "Code Blue ~ Doctor Heli Kinkyuu Kyuumei ~ THE THIRD SEASON"

Mr.Children's hit song "HANABI" will be the theme song for FujiTV's Summer 2017 drama "Code Blue ~ Doctor Heli Kinkyuu Kyuumei ~ THE THIRD SEASON"" which will be shown from July in the Mondays 9pm timeslot. The song was specially written for the drama when the first season was shown in summer 2008 so due to its popularity and significance in the story, the decision was made to retain the theme song as it was for the previous seasons.

In the latest installment, Aizawa Kousaku (Yamashita Tomohisa) who had left the emergency centre at Shohoku, is working as a neurosurgeon now and busy with operations every day. Shiraishi Megumi (Aragaki Yui) continues to work as a flight doctor at Shohoku which is facing a manpower crunch and is already the staff leader of the flight doctors team. Hiyama Mihoko (Toda Erika) left Shohoku and becomes a gynaecologist at a perinatal medical centre while Saejima Haruka (Higa Manami) is doing well as a flight nurse. Last but not least, Fujikawa Kazuo (Asari Yousuke) is working as an emergency centre doctor specialising in plastic surgery and supports Shiraishi's team as well.

New additions to the cast include Hey! Say! JUMP's Arioka Daiki, Narita Ryo and Araki Yuuko who will be playing new medical interns assigned to the emergency centre for training to become future flight doctors while Baba Fumika will play an aspiring flight nurse. Shiina Kippei will play Tachibana Keisuke, the director of the emergency centre while Ando Masanobu will play Shinkai Hiroki, a neurosurgeon who is fighting with Aizawa for a posting to Toronto University to be a resident doctor in their top-notch neurosurgery department.
