Producer
Kan Satoshi chose miwa’s song for the drama himself, and revealed that he was looking for “
a cheerful pop song by a young female artist that brings energy and happiness to listeners.” When he heard miwa’s first album “
Guitarissimo“, Kan felt that “
the fresh power of the song was perfect for the young and vigorous image of the drama.”
“Ouran High School Host Club” begins airing on July 22nd.
