Exciting news surrounds BMSG TRAINEE members RUI, TAIKI, and KANON as their new song 'GOTH' becomes the official theme song for the upcoming FOD original drama, "ゲート・オン・ザ・ホライズン〜GOTH〜". Scheduled to start streaming on April 18th, this drama will mark a significant milestone for these promising artists who are stepping into the limelight with a unique style and an energetic sound.
The Making of 'GOTH'
The song 'GOTH' boasts a lively hip-hop vibe woven with high-energy lyrics and a charismatic rap delivery that captures the essence of the drama. Written by SKY-HI, the mastermind behind BMSG, the track is laser-focused on reflecting both the storyline of the drama and the authentic characteristics of the performers. The lyrics reveal various narrative elements, serving as a deeper layer to the drama's intrigue. RUI, TAIKI, and KANON have poured their hearts into this project, bringing a fresh and dynamic approach to their debut performance.
The melody reminds one of early 2000s street culture, marrying vintage influences with a modern twist, making it accessible to newer audiences while still resonating with long-time fans. Audiences should anticipate a music video release on the same day at 19:30 JST on YouTube, where they will also find appearances from fellow BMSG artist, edhiii boi, creating an enticing visual narrative that complements the song.
A Journey of Growth
For RUI, TAIKI, and KANON, this venture into acting alongside their music marks a critical personal and professional growth phase. RUI expressed his initial nervousness for taking on a leading role, but as filming progressed, he found joy in the experience, noting how this journey would influence his future as an artist. TAIKI shared his struggles as he transitioned into acting; however, he gained confidence and learned significant skills that provided an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. KANON felt honored to star with friends and acknowledged the kindness of the production staff, contributing to the successful completion of their roles.
The trio's excitement resonates strongly in every interview, emphasizing how they hope 'GOTH' allows their audience to shift their perceptions of them - not just as performers but as storytellers.

The Story Behind the Drama
"ゲート・オン・ザ・ホライズン〜GOTH〜" (translated as "Gate on the Horizon - GOTH") is set against the backdrop of Okinawa’s high school life, exploring themes of friendship, rivalry, and maturation. With SKY-HI's vision and the guidance of renowned director Tsutsumi Yukihiko, the drama melds elements of mystery with raw youthful emotion, promising a rich viewing experience.
Bringing forth a leading team of young actors, including RUI, TAIKI, KANON, and more, this show aims to deliver a powerful message to the youth of today, much needed in an entertainment landscape that's lacking representation for younger generations.
Expecting to ignite conversations and inspire fellow teens, the show's storytelling is effectively underlined by the thematic energy of 'GOTH'.
In addition to streaming on FOD, spot videos are now available for the audience to preview the drama ahead of its official premiere. You can watch the promotional video
