The digital single “SUMMER VIBE” by the Japan-Korea joint dance-vocal group ORBIT has been decided as the opening song for the drama “Eigyo Desu kara,” which will be broadcast on BS Fuji from 24:30 late at night on November 5 (with FOD and worldwide distribution available). “SUMMER VIBE” is a song that expresses the refreshing atmosphere of summer, written, composed, and produced by member TOMO, and it also became a topic of conversation because all of ORBIT’s members handled the choreography and member SHUNYA served as the director of the music video. The drama “Eigyo Desu kara,” for which “SUMMER VIBE” became the opening song, is a live-action drama adaptation of the BL comic “Eigyo Desu kara” by Miyuki Mitsubachi, who has previously released many popular works such as “Namaiki Zakari.” and “Haru no Arashi to Monster,” and it is a frustrating and sweet youth BL love story that begins with a “fake couple” between handsome men. When the drama adaptation was decided, it recorded 1 million impressions on X, and it is already gathering attention as one of this autumn’s most notable dramas. Expectations are rising for ORBIT’s “SUMMER VIBE,” which matches the refreshing atmosphere of the drama “Eigyo Desu kara.” In addition, ORBIT has also decided to hold the fan meeting tour “ORBIT FAN MEETING TOUR ~6th Year and Still Won’t Let You Go~,” which will begin with the Okayama performance on November 1 and be held in Osaka, Fukuoka, and Aichi, as well as the ORBIT JAPAN FANCLUB EVENT “6OCK YOU” commemorating ORBIT’s 6th debut anniversary, to be held in Tokyo on November 11. ◆Comment from TOMO “We are very honored that our song ‘SUMMER VIBE’ by ORBIT has been chosen as the opening song for the drama ‘Eigyo Desu kara.’ Since ‘SUMMER VIBE’ is also a song I wrote and composed, I am already so excited at the thought that it will flow as the opening song for the first live-action drama adaptation of the much-loved work ‘Eigyo Desu kara.’ I think ‘SUMMER VIBE’ is a perfect song for this drama, which has a frustrating love pattern that does not go as planned, so I would be happy if this song could add even a little color to the work. Please look forward to the drama ‘Eigyo Desu kara’ and to ‘SUMMER VIBE,’ which will play as the opening song! ■Work overview Drama “Eigyo Desu kara” (BS Fuji) From 24:30 late at night on Thursday, November 5, 2026 <FOD> exclusive distribution FOD distribution starts on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 From 26:10 every Wednesday <TVer> catch-up distribution TVer distribution starts on Thursday, November 5, 2026 From 25:00 every Thursday distribution starts Worldwide distribution: Worldwide distribution decided!
