Yoshiki, Akikawa team up for drama theme song
Mon, March 10, 2008 (4:55pm EDT)






Rock star Yoshiki and popular tenor Masafumi Akikawa have formed an unlikely combination to create the theme song for a two-part television drama set to air next week.

The drama is NTV's "Tokyo Daikushu," whose cast is led by Maki Horikita and Tatsuya Fujiwara. The drama, which airs on March 17-18, reportedly had a budget of 100 million yen.

The theme song is a currently untitled ballad written and composed by Yoshiki and sung by Akikawa. The two actually never met, as Yoshiki created the song while in Los Angeles. It was brought back to Japan, and Akikawa completed the recording in Tokyo on Monday.
