The synergy between film and theme song becomes even clearer after watching Snow Man’s newly released video message about “BANG!!” — their upcoming theme song for SAKAMOTO DAYS, starring Ren Meguro and opening April 29.
Ren, who is playing the main character Sakamoto, describes the track as something that “rushes forward,” emphasizing its speed and momentum. It’s not just fast — it feels like it’s constantly accelerating. That sense of drive mirrors the film’s tone: high-energy, unpredictable, and impossible to sit still through.
He also teased the choreography, hinting that fans familiar with SAKAMOTO DAYS will catch small embedded references within the performance. There are subtle “points” packed into the movements — moments that nod directly to the manga’s world.
According to Daisuke Sakuma, this isn’t a “normal” choreography. It’s something slightly different from what Snow Man usually does, with hints of combat woven into the performance style. They even jokingly stopped themselves mid-spoiler, asking fans to look forward to “a new kind of Snow Man performance.”
That balance between action and entertainment seems central to both the song and the film.
Speaking about the movie itself, Ren described it as having overwhelming speed — something that feels like a rollercoaster. You laugh, and then suddenly the action hits and it’s intensely cool. Before you realize it, the film is over. The everyday lives of the characters spiral instantly into the explosive world of SAKAMOTO DAYS, and they emphasized that it’s the kind of movie you’ll want to watch multiple times to catch everything.
That excitement echoed in a separate comment from Ren, noting how global anticipation already feels. Since the adaptation was announced, he’s received messages from fans across different countries — and even overseas, people call out “SAKAMOTO!” when they see him. For a series that has built a worldwide readership, this live-action version feels positioned to travel far beyond Japan’s borders.
Directed by Yuichi Fukuda and based on the manga by Yuto Suzuki, the story follows legendary hitman Sakamoto, who retires, gains weight, and chooses domestic life — only to find that danger refuses to let him live peacefully. The teaser reminds us of the core contradiction at the heart of the story: the legendary assassin who now refuses to kill. “From here on, I’ll get serious,” Sakamoto declares — not to take lives, but to protect his family and his everyday life.
Snow Man closes their message by encouraging viewers to stay until the very end credits and experience the film together with their theme song.
With “BANG!!” promising speed, layered choreography, and action-infused performance — and with IMAX screenings amplifying every gunshot and punch — April 29 isn’t just another film release date.
It’s impact, set to music.
Ren Meguro Comment
“I’m truly happy that Snow Man has been entrusted with the theme song for the live-action film adaptation of the globally popular manga SAKAMOTO DAYS. I’m filled with joy and excitement at the start of a world where SAKAMOTO DAYS and Snow Man intersect.
‘BANG!!’ is an exhilarating and cool track infused with the world of SAKAMOTO DAYS. We paid close attention to both the melody and the lyrics, and I believe it’s a song that can give energy and courage to many people. In the music video, all nine members showcase action scenes, which is definitely one of the highlights!
Since the live-action adaptation was announced, I’ve received messages from many people in various countries saying they’re looking forward to it. When I go overseas, people often call out, ‘SAKAMOTO!’ to me. It makes me truly happy that, together with the film, Snow Man’s voices and performances will reach audiences around the world. Please enjoy SAKAMOTO DAYS and Snow Man!”
