Also appearing are Koudai Fujimoto, from “I Joined a Group I Don’t Get Along With on a School Trip” (2025, ABC TV) and “Why Am I Giving Sermons?” (2025, Nippon TV), as Haru’s childhood friend who secretly harbors feelings for her; Atom Mizuishi, from “TOKYO VICE Season 2” (2024, WOWOW) and “Dear Radiance” (2024, NHK), as Rio’s regular hookup and company president; Tatsuya Shirato, from “Jofu ~ Women Need ××××? ~” (2025, TV Tokyo), as Haru’s non-blood-related father and her first love; Akiko Hinagata, from “PUNKS△TRIANGLE” (2025, Fuji TV) and “25ji, Akasaka de Season 2” (2025, TV Tokyo), as Haru’s mother; and So Yamanaka, from “Happy of the End” (2024, Fuji TV) and “Okra ~ Maze-locked Case Investigation ~” (2024, Fuji TV), as Rio’s uncle, who serves as a parent figure after Rio loses his parents.

The song chosen is “BLUE,” their major-label debut single, which also reflects their work writing and composing for artists in Japan and abroad, adding a gentle touch of color to the story with its soft vocals.
