The duo's new single release comes in 7 months+ since the release of their previous single Sotsugyou .
Tomoru Inori was chosen to be used as the theme song for Fuji TV's drama DIVER -Tokushu Sennyuhan- .
Starring Fukushi Sota as protagonist Kurosawa Hyogo , DIVER -Tokushu Sennyuhan- is a suspense drama about the strongest & worst undercover cop . In order to arrest criminals , Kurosawa is ruthless but uses his justice to drive out evil .
Tomoru Inori is described as a powerful ballad that emphasises Kuroda Shunsuke's vocals while the single covers were created by Kobuchi Kentaro .
The A-side was 1st released digitally on the same day as when DIVER -Tokushu Sennyuhan- started airing ie. last month on 22nd Sept while Lullaby served as the B-side in the single .
Kobukuro's single Tomoru Inori is the theme song of the crime drama series DIVER -Tokushu Sennyuhan- starring Fukushi Sota . Reminiscent of the band's past singles DOOR & Ano Taiyou ga, Kono Sekai wo Terashitsudukeru You ni. , the power ballad was especially written to convey the protagonist's feelings and way of life .
To say that Tomoru Inori is musically different from Sotsugyou is an understatement but it's nonetheless a great empowering song .
When I 1st heard Tomoru Inori , it reminded me of Kokoro to some extent but vocally it highlights Kuroda's vocal range extremely well .
On the other hand , Lullaby as the song title suggests is a nice soothing B-side which contrasts Tomoru Inori in a great way .
Overall I really enjoy Kobukuro's latest single offering tremendously & I hold them in very high regard as not only they've been in the business for so long but the fact that they're still able to put out surprises of the good kind , that's not an easy thing to do .
But yet they're still able to deliver & then some and Tomoru Inori is evident of that .
