the bercedes menz provides opening theme for TV Tokyo drama 'Koro Hazu'

The Tokyo-based band the bercedes menz will provide the opening theme for the new TV Tokyo drama series 'Koro Hazu' (I Thought I Killed My Husband). The song 'morning star' is taken from their album 'weapons', released on May 27.

The drama is a time-loop revenge suspense series based on a vertical-scrolling manga by Mana Akaishi. It premieres on TV Tokyo and its affiliates on July 6, 2026, airing Mondays at 11:06 PM. The series follows the previous hit 'Tsuma no Katei wo Kowasu made' in the same timeslot.

After each episode airs, it will be available for streaming on U-NEXT and Lemino. The show will also have catch-up viewing on TVer.

Bassist Tanaka Nodoeki commented on the band's involvement. "We created the OP theme," he wrote. "The song is about the inevitability of tomorrow arriving, no matter what. I sometimes wish today would loop one more time, but if that day is the one where I kill my husband and his lover, my stomach feels too heavy. I just want one day off."

The band describes itself as a "hardcore J-POP" act.

The drama stars Rio Uchida, Keisuke Watanabe, and Yume Yanai. The ending theme is provided by Nowlu.

The album 'weapons' is available via VAP. The band has two release parties scheduled for July in Osaka and Tokyo.
