‘High & Low’ released a clip of the recording for the OST ‘Wings’. Along with NCT’s Yuta, J-pop idols and co-stars Kazuma Kawamura and Hokuto Yoshino of the group The Rampage and Be:First’s Ryoki Miyama will be singing the OST. Yuta shared that he loved the song as “there aren’t many songs with a medium ballad tempo like this that I can empathize with. It was so refreshing and fun.” ‘Wings’ is an emotional song that follows the friendship of the characters like Ryo Suzaki and Amagai. Yuta plays the strongest fighter Ryo Suzaki while his gang leader Kohei Amagai is played by Ryoki Miyama.

‘So proud of you Yuta’

Fans trended Yuta as they left tweets like, “So proud of you yuta.” Another wrote, “Yuta's vocal oh my god.” An NCTzen was annoyed, “Once again a huge f**k you to sm for hiding such a beautiful vocalist, NAKAMOTO YUTA should always be heard not just background vocals + one - two lines. (his bg vocals are still sexy tho he eats all the time) but sm should really pay attention and actually display his voice.” Another was impressed, “Yuta really made his acting debut as one of the main characters playing an antagonist with actual depth & character development in a big action movie franchise and is doing his own stunts and is now also getting an OST to accompany all that… yeah he’s really goated.” One fan joked, “Yuta getting more lines here than in NCT songs.”
