The live-action Sakamoto Days film has received a trailer containing plenty of over-the-top action, as well as a snippet of the newly announced theme song “BANG!!” by Snow Man.
The movie, which begins screening in Japan on April 29, is based on the manga by Yuto Suzuki. Viz Media describes the manga as such:
Time has passed peacefully for Sakamoto since he left the underworld. He’s running a neighborhood store with his lovely wife and child and has gotten a bit…out of shape. But one day a figure from his past pays him a visit with an offer he can’t refuse: return to the assassin world or die!
The Sakamoto Days manga started serialization in 2020 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and has 25 volumes as of December 2025. A TV anime adaptation aired in 2025 with two split cours and is getting a second season.
