Yuta of NCT, is making headlines for his participation in the theme song for the Japanese drama series 'Kamen Rider Zets'. The track, titled 'PLAY BACK (TV size)', was released across global music platforms at midnight on March 8, 2026. The song has already garnered an enthusiastic response from listeners, further solidifying Yuta’s growing influence in the Japanese entertainment industry through this collaboration with TV Asahi.
The new single 'PLAY BACK' is a high-energy rock track that combines aggressive guitar riffs with a beat reminiscent of early 2000s punk. The lyrics explore the psychological struggle of navigating the space between reality and dreams, emphasizing a defiant will to seize one's own destiny. Yuta’s signature intense vocals lend an explosive energy to the track, perfectly matching the heroic and dramatic tone of the series.
The project holds particular significance as 'Kamen Rider Zets' is the latest installment of the 'Kamen Rider' franchise, which has remained a cultural staple in Japan for 55 years since its debut in 1971. For Yuta, who has been a fan of the series since childhood, this participation marks a meaningful personal milestone. This achievement follows his successful solo concert finale at the legendary Budokan in January 2026 and the success of his first full-length album 'PERSONA', which topped the Oricon Weekly Rock Album chart in October 2025. Beyond his musical endeavors, Yuta is also set to greet domestic audiences in Korea with the release of his lead film 'Specials' on March 13, 2026.
