Overview

Love Dramatic feat. Rokka Iihara (ラブ・ドラマティック feat. 伊原六花) is a funk-pop song by Japanese vocalist Masayuki Suzuki, produced as the opening theme for the first season of the anime Kaguya-sama: Love is War (2019). The track draws on Suzuki's signature sound, orchestral brass, a walking bassline, and his warm, charismatic tenor, to mirror the show's blend of high-stakes romantic scheming and playful comedy. The song was written and composed by Yoshiki Mizuno, frontman of the pop-rock band Ikimono-gakari, making it Suzuki's 39th single and his first new release in approximately three years. Rokka Iihara, who is credited as a featured vocalist in the song title, provided chorus vocals. The single was commercially released in May 2019 and quickly became one of the most widely recognized anime theme songs of the year. In maimai, Love Dramatic arrived on January 23, 2020 as part of the maimai DX PLUS update, initially available only through a limited-time Kaguya-sama collaboration event area before becoming permanently unlockable on March 6, 2020. Along with other licensed tracks, it was removed from the arcade version on September 15, 2022 and can no longer be selected in standard gameplay. The song belongs to the POPS&アニメ genre and is playable across four DX difficulties. An official live performance video from Suzuki's 2019 national tour at NHK Hall is the primary video associated with the song.
