The title of the OST for the new Japanese drama is Stay Gold. It will be part of BTS’s new album which is scheduled to be released this summer.
BTS stated, “We are glad to be able to participate in the theme song of the drama Spiral Labyrinth. We hope many people will look forward to the song with love and interest. Please look forward to Spiral Labyrinth and Stay Gold.”
Tanaka Kei, the lead actor of Spiral Labyrinth, said, “It was a really cool song, it really left an impression on my ears and heart, and I was shocked. I really like this song. If you listen carefully, it’s a medium number. Whether the drama will be a medium number as well, I don’t know yet, but I think that the combination of seemingly different things will build toward a new climax. Like the song says, I will work hard as a cast member to make the drama ‘Stay Gold.’ Also, because BTS is popular with the people around me, I will remind everyone to watch the drama.”
