Mirai no Theme/Uta no Kisha is the fifty-first single (excluding reissues) released by Japanese singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, released in July 2018. This work contains two songs by Tatsuro Yamashita for the film "Mirai".
Overview
[edit]This was the second time Yamashita produced a song for Mamoru Hosoda since his 2009 film "Summer Wars". Moreover, this was the first time he produced two songs for a movie/drama. Both songs are later included in his 2022 album Softly containing new mixes.
"Mirai no Theme" uses an up-tempo pop tune suitable for the opening of the movie.[1] Meanwhile, The ending theme, "Uta no Kisha" has a bright and sad tune, which is suitable for ending the movie.[2] In addition, a live version of the theme song "Bokura no Natsu no Yume" from the animated movie "Summer Wars" was included in the single.[3]
The artwork of the first limited edition features the main visual of the movie, and the regular edition features "Tatsuro-kun" (drawn by Miki Tori) riding a motorcycle.[2]
