It has been announced that Korean 5-member dance-vocal unit BIGBANG will sing the theme song to Fuji TV's morning show "Mezamashi Saturday" that airs every saturday from 6 a.m.
This is the first time a Korean group is singing the theme song for an information/news show, and is also a first for Fuji TV.
Mezamashi Saturday's producer has said that he hopes that the show will be "explosive" just like BIGBANG's name.
The song, currently in production, is called "HANDS UP". It has a meaning of "getting excited by putting your hands up in the air", with an uptempo melody, and hopes to convey the energetic spirit of a weekend morning.
Members V.I (19) and D-LITE (20) expressed that they are doing their best to produce a song that will be well-received by everyone. It has not been decided if/when the song will be released on CD. The song will be on-air for about half a year from the 3rd of April onwards.
