London: A track from Madonna's new album is to be used as the theme music on a new Japanese television show. The pop diva's new ballad, "Miles Away", will be lifted from her forthcoming "Hard Candy" album and used for the TV programme "Change".

This is for the first time she has licensed a tune for a TV drama in Japan, ananova.com said. While the programme will go on air in early April, "Hard Candy" will be released on April 30.
