Mysterious hardcore J-POP band the bercedes menz finally reveals their faces...!? Music video for first drama tie-in song released!

The "hardcore J-POP band" the bercedes menz, based in Tokyo, has released the music video for "morning star," a track from their album "weapons" released in May. The music video features a girl lost in thought at school, with an emotional and nostalgic feel that evokes the beginning of summer. In the latter half of the music video, the masked trio reveals their faces while performing, showcasing a new dimension of the bercedes menz.

This song is the opening theme for the time-travel revenge suspense drama "I Should Have Killed My Husband," which will begin airing on TV Tokyo on July 6 (Mon). The original work is a completely original vertical manga by Mana Akaishi, currently being serialized on LINE Manga, and is the first joint production between CLLENN and TV Tokyo. Following the hit "Until I Destroy My Husband's Family," which aired in the same time slot in July 2024 and recorded the highest number of missed-viewing replays in TV Tokyo drama history, hitmaker Akaishi and TV Tokyo are teaming up again to bring this unpredictable time-travel revenge suspense to live-action.

【the bercedes menz】

A mysterious 3-piece band based in Tokyo, whose faces and backgrounds are unknown.

They describe themselves as a "hardcore J-POP band." Despite having no notable exposure outside of live performances, their dangerous yet humorous songs and live performances have become a topic of conversation, particularly within the band scene. Their shows often lead to capacity restrictions, and their first solo live performance at Shibuya WWW in February 2026 sold out instantly, marking them as a band of great current interest.
