Loosely translated and paraphrased from Japanese:
All attention this fall is directed towards the October 25th release of "Homeless Middle School Student." The book was written by one half of the comedy duo "Kirin," Hiroshi Tamura, who was homeless in his middle school years. The book has since become a best-selling autobiography, and is now a movie and drama series.

The movie's theme song, "Here," is sung by the four-woman South Korean Vocal and Dance Unit Cheon Sang Ji Hee (Tenjochiki in Japan) and the three-man Japanese hip-hop group Cliff Edge. In South Korea, Tenjochiki is very popular and was assigned the role of producing the theme song along with Cliff Edge.

Cliff Edge composes of JUN (MC), SHIN (MC), and DJ GEORGIA. In December 2006, they released the indie mini-album which featured the recording "Birth~You're the Only One." It was the 2007 re-release which featured MAY'S and was thus deemed "Part 2" did there popular begin to rise. In May 2008, Cliff Edge hit number 9 on the Oricon Charts with their debut album.

When Tenjochiki heard the song "LIV~To someone important to you," they brought attention to their staff and offered an opportunity to collaborate together. Cliff Edge was initially skeptical over the collaboration see as, "they had been very successful in Korea, but was just adapting to foreign markets." In the end, Cliff Edge accepted the collaboration

And with the offer to work on the theme song to "Homeless Middle School Student," the original message in the movie was but to song thus, the lyrics to "Here" was completed.

"They have both great talent and appearance. We always feel like brothers to Tenjochiki. Therefore, we can act ourselves while laughing, crying, or singing." Said Cliff Edge leader and songwriter JUN.

Cliff Edge will release their first major single on November 19th titles "The Way Tomorrow Will Be." "Homeless Middle School Student" opens in Japanese theatres on October 25th.
