Background

"Uma to Shika" is the theme song of TBS television drama No Side Manager. The single features two B-side songs: "Spirits of the Sea" (海の幽霊, Umi no Yūrei), used as the theme song of Children of the Sea, and "Deshomasho" (でしょましょ, Probably).[1]

The title of the song (馬と鹿- "Uma to shika") stands for a word game by putting apart Two kanjis of the word "baka" (馬鹿- "Stupid") with the particle "to" (と- and) to make the phrase horse and deer.

Preview events were held for "Spirits of the Sea" and "Uma to Shika".[2][3]
