It was confirmed on May 31st that EXILE's MATSU (Matsumoto Toshio) and actress Fukuda Mayuko will appear in a new music video�by The ROOTLESS.

The two stars are part of the Bee TV drama, "3-mai-me no bodyguard ~Boku wa kimi dake o mamorinuku~", and The ROOTLESS song "Elephant" is the show's theme song.

The show revolves around the character 'Mishio Nobuo', or 'Nobu' (played by MATSU), a man who is irresponsible with money, and who through a sudden turn of events must become the bodyguard of Natsumi (played by Fukuda), the selfish daughter of a rich businessman. The two don't get along very well, but they begin to open up to each other as they are forced to work together to escape dangerous situations. MATSU is able to prove his skills playing an action hero, and also gets to show off the dance skills he is famous for.

As for the band, The ROOTLESS is made up of members Nobata Shin (vocals), Naitou Duran Haruhisa (guitar), Ihara Takuya (base), and Otsubo Yusuke (drums). The rock band made their major debut on October 20, 2010 with the release of the single, "One day". The single gained media attention and reached #3 on the Oricon weekly single charts.

The upcoming music video features both action and dance scenes from the drama, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the actors. You will also be able to see some behind-the-scenes footage of MATSU and fellow EXILE member AKIRA, who also appears in the drama.
