Feel the Beat: 'Glass Heart' Main Trailer and Title Song Revealed

The Japanese music drama Glass Heart has unveiled its main trailer today, offering viewers their first listen to the title song "Glass Heart," written and composed by Yojiro Noda and performed by Takeru Satoh. Crafted to fulfill the production team's request for "a sound like never before," the song highlights Noda's distinctive sound.
Not only does Glass Heart feature an all-star cast that includes some of Japan's most prominent actors today - such as Takeru Satoh, Yu Miyazaki, Keita Machida, Jun Shison, and Masaki Suda - it's also generating huge buzz for its unprecedented scale, with the actors dedicating over a year to learning instruments, singing, and even making their actual debut as a band.

In addition to Yojiro Noda, a diverse and stellar lineup of leading musicians from Japan's current music scene - including Taka (ONE OK ROCK), Yohei Kawakami [Alexandros], Ryujin Kiyoshi, Yaffle, TeddyLoid, and Tanaka - have contributed songs. Next-generation vocalists gaining popularity among young audiences, such as Zarame and ao, are participating as well, bringing the total number of distinguished artists involved to 26.
