Hara is the latest Korean idol to be featured on a Japanese OST with the song "Magic of Love," the theme to the hit detective drama Galileo 2.

It was announced by DSP Media on April 9 that Hara had joined with the television show's star and fellow musician Fukuyama Masaharu to form the duo Hara+ and will premiere the Korean version of the theme song. The track will be produced by Masaharu who will guide Hara's vocals for the new version.

The original Galileo aired back in 2007 and was popular in both Japan and Korea. The sequel series will begin later this month for Japanese viewers on Fuji TV and will also premiere in Korea via MBC's channels QueeN and Plus Media on May 6. Hara's version of the theme will accompany the Korean broadcast.

When asked about the upcoming collaboration, Hara appeared humbled yet excited about he opportunity saying, "I'm very honored to be singing the Korean version of "Magic of Love." [Galileo is] a very famous drama in Korea and I think it will be a special experience working with Fukuyama Masaharu. There are a lot of things I lack in, but I will do my best."

Masaharu has been on the scene for a long time, having made his debut as a musician and actor back in 1990 (a year before Hara was born) and he has had a lot of success not just in his own country, but abroad as well. He is highly respected in the industry so it is worth noting that this song with Hara will be his first ever collaboration with a foreign artist - a particularly high honor for the young idol.

But Hara and her group Kara also have their own popularity in Japan. After making their debut in Japan in 2010 with Girl's Talk, the group released two more Japanese-language studio albums as well as eight separate singles. Most recently the song "Bye Bye Happy Days" has shot to the top of Japanese K-Pop charts.

In January of this year Kara became the first female Korean artist to hold a solo concert in the famous Tokyo Dome. The event sold out all 45,000 tickets within just five minutes and was a huge success, solidifying the group's popularity in Japan.
