Creepy Nuts' new song "Fright" has been selected as the theme for the TBS Tuesday drama "Toki Sudeni o Sushi!?" It is their first TBS drama theme in roughly two years and is streaming as a digital single. With a slot at Coachella 2026 and their first North American tour also ahead, the duo is raising its overseas presence another notch.
"Fright" was distributed as a digital single in April and is reaching a wide audience as a Tuesday-drama theme. Building songs around drama tie-ins is one of the strengths the duo has steadily accumulated.
Appearing at a North American festival alongside a local tour amounts to developing an overseas fan base on the ground. The flow of connecting streaming-built overseas recognition to the live experience of local shows is becoming pronounced.
"Otonoke," the opening theme for the anime "Dandadan," surpassed 100 million YouTube views and was cited as one of the most-streamed Japanese songs overseas. A design that grows streaming around drama and anime themes continues.

"Otonoke" was widely streamed in Japan and abroad and ranked high in year-end charts. Its link to an anime work served as a strong example of an entry point for overseas listeners.
The ZEN editorial team is watching the flow of continuously stacking drama and anime tie-ins and connecting them to overseas festivals and tours as a practical example of exporting live performance.
