NCT’s Yuta has joined the Japanese TV drama series ‘Kamen Rider Zets’ as the singer of its theme song, drawing attention from viewers.
The track, titled ‘Play Back (PLAY BACK),’ was released at midnight March 8 on major global music platforms and has been met with a strong response.
‘Play Back’ is a rock song driven by aggressive guitar and a beat reminiscent of 2000s punk. The lyrics portray a mind wavering between reality and dreams, along with a firm resolve to defy fate and make one’s own choices. Yuta’s intense vocal delivery amplifies the song’s energy.
‘Kamen Rider Zets’ is a new season in Japan’s long-running ‘Kamen Rider’ franchise, which first aired in 1971 and marks its 55th year this year. Yuta, who watched the series as a child, said participating as the theme singer adds special meaning and underscores his influence in Japan.
In January, Yuta headlined Japan’s Budokan arena to close out his first solo concert tour. He has also strengthened his local standing with his first full-length album, ‘PERSONA,’ released in October last year, which topped Oricon’s weekly rock album chart.
Meanwhile, the film ‘Specials,’ starring Yuta, is set for release in South Korea on March 13.
