The Queen of Villains is one of the latest additions to Netflix‘s catalog that has caught attention for its aesthetics, but especially for being a Japanese series based on a true story about women in wrestling.
The first season of the drama is set in the 1980s and chronicles the rise of Dump Matsumoto, who transitioned from an aspiring hero wrestler to a feared villain—a change that defined her career and fame.
Yuriyan Retriever stars in the lead role, but she is not the only one shining in the ring; she is also joined by figures like Ell as Lovely Yoneyama, Erika Karata as Nagayo Chigusa and Ayame Gôriki as Lioness Asuka.
What is the main song of The Queen of Villains?
The series features a powerful soundtrack that complements its themes of rebellion and identity. The title track, “Dump the Heel”, is performed by Yuriyan Retriever herself, reflecting her embodiment of Matsumoto’s fierce spirit.
Each episode concludes with “Are you serious?” by Awich, a song written specifically for the TV drama. The raw and impactful style of the Japanese rapper perfectly aligns with the intense atmosphere of the show.
Are there additional songs in The Queen of Villains?
As of September 19, the list of additional songs selected for the first season of “The Queen of Villains” has not yet been revealed, but if it happens, they will be published in the coming days.
The combination of period-accurate storytelling and modern musical influences brings the 1980s wrestling world to life, making the series not only a biographical drama but also a cultural statement.
