I can once again thank the "Weather Music" segment on "Weathernews Japan" for discovering this uptempo and thumping pop tune "Drama" by the duo C&K. They consist of singer-songwriters high-toned Clievy from Tochigi Prefecture and silky-voiced Keen from Kagoshima Prefecture who first got together in the Yokohama-Shonan area. They then made their debut with the single "Tsuyu Ake Sengen"（梅雨明け宣言...Declaration at the End of the Rainy Season） in August 2010.
"Drama" came out as C&K's 16th single in August 2018, and interestingly enough, it was used as a theme song for an actual drama on NTV called "Survival Wedding" based on the romantic short story by Kousuke Ohhashi（大橋弘祐）. The single was able to reach as high as No. 17 on Oricon.
C&K have a wide spectrum of music that they like to dive into for their songs: disco, funk, soul, reggae, folk and 1980s kayo kyoku. And I gather that's been reflected in the fact that perhaps many of their songs are favourites for dancing. The cheerleading squad for the baseball team Hanshin Tigers have gotten onto the bandwagon, for example.
C&K's Drama is a silky smooth song!
