From the Amazon and Toei collaboration project for the live-action adaptation of Oshi no Ko, episodes 1 to 6 of the drama series were exclusively released worldwide for Prime members on Prime Video as of yesterday, the 28th. The opening song, performed by B Komachi led by Asuka Saito as Ai Hoshino, has left fans astonished.

First serialized in Weekly Young Jump in 2020 by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, Oshi no Ko gained popularity with its unique storyline featuring a fantastical plot where legendary idol Ai is reincarnated as her own children, suspense elements with shocking depictions, and its fearless dive into the complex world of the "entertainment industry." The live-action adaptation stars an extravagant cast, including Kaito Sakurai in the lead role, along with Asuka Saito, Nagisa Saito, Nanoka Hara, Mizuki Kayashima, Ano, and Ryo Narita, among others.

The idol group B Komachi, featuring Ai Hoshino (played by Saito), performed "Sign wa B," a song that first gained popularity when introduced in the anime, during an opening live scene. The performance of the same song in the drama drew numerous excited reactions from fans: "It started off with 'Sign wa B' as a surprise, and it boosted my excitement," "Hearing former idol Asuka Saito sing 'Sign wa B' was fantastic!" "The moment Asuka's Ai opened with 'Sign wa B,' I was floored," "Asuka Saito perfectly embodied Ai Hoshino," "Starting with 'Sign wa B' was such a delight," and "They can use 'Sign wa B'?! She can sing it?!" among others.
