The hit manga written and illustrated by Yuto Suzuki tells the story of the ultimate assassin, Taro Sakamoto, feared by villains and admired by other hit men – one day, fell in love!
When Sakamoto met Aoi the convenience store clerk, it was love at first sight; and just like that, he retired. Sakamoto got married, had a daughter, opened a mom-and-pop store in a quiet town, and completely transformed… into a plus-size! To ensure a peaceful life with his beloved family, the legendary ex-hitman takes on a relentless stream of assassin attacks.
This action-packed story of the ordinary and extraordinary begins here!
Vaundy had this to say:
When I wrote “RUN SAKAMOTO RUN”,
I aimed to convey the inspirational protagonist Sakamoto’s overwhelming, unmatched strength.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to record the song in London, which gave it a unique sound, making it a piece I can truly say I gave my all to.
I hope the song ‘runs’ together with the manga, anime, and all of you guys!
Conton Candy also commented:
We are thrilled to announce that our song “FUTSUU” has been chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime SAKAMOTO DAYS!
This marks our very first anime tie-in, and we couldn’t be more honored.
When we first received the offer, we were overjoyed and a bit surprised, but those feelings quickly turned into determination. With that excitement in our hearts, we poured everything into creating this song.
You might be wondering, “A title called ‘FUTSUU’?”
Well, the lyrics reflect Aoi’s feelings toward Sakamoto. They’re filled with warm and heartfelt words, so we hope you’ll take a moment to listen closely and feel the emotions in the song.
Watch SAKAMOTO DAYS as much as you can, listen to “FUTSUU” over and over, and let’s create an amazing anime experience together!
