FUNKY MONKEY BABYS provide theme song for drama "Propose Kyoudai"
FUNKY MONKEY BABYS' 2008 song "Kokuhaku" will be used as the theme song for Fuji TV's romantic comedy miniseries "Propose Kyoudai ~Umare Junbetsu Otoko ga Kekkon Suru Houhou."
The drama was actually first announced last month. The omnibus consists of four episodes airing on consecutive nights, each focusing on a different couple. The lead characters are three brothers and their cousin, and each has a different personality based on his birth order (oldest child, middle child, youngest child, only child).
Ryuta Sato (30) plays the oldest brother, an overly serious chef who can't refuse a request for a favor. Teppei Koike (25) plays the middle child, an office worker who always chooses the safe route instead of facing important challenges. Aoi Nakamura (19) plays the youngest child, a spoiled part-timer who doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. Lastly, Atsushi Ito (27) plays their cousin, an interior designer who lives life at his own pace.
The four women that they get involved with will be played by Anne (24), Nozomi Sasaki (22), Yuika Motokariya (23), and Becky (26), respectively.
The series will air on Fuji TV at 11:00pm on February 21-24. While the original version of "Kokuhaku" will be the show's theme song, FUNKY MONKEY BABYS has also recorded an acoustic version of the song that will be released digitally on February 21, the day the show premieres.
