by The key visual and central PV for the TV anime ” SAKAMOTO DAYS ” have been released, and it has been decided that the series will begin broadcasting on TV Tokyo and other networks on January 11, 2025, with the second season to begin in July of the same year. Scene cuts from the main PV for “SAKAMOTO DAYS” (multiple) “SAKAMOTO DAYS” by Suzuki Yuto has been serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump” since 2020 and has exceeded 6 million copies in total circulation. It is a solid action story about a former legendary assassin, Sakamoto Taro, who fights approaching assassins with his friends to protect the peaceful daily life he lives with his beloved family.
The key visual shows the owner, Taro Sakamoto, and his unique friends gathered together under a blue sky at the private shop “Sakamoto Shoten.” Others include Shin, an esper who works at Sakamoto Shoten, the daughter of a former mafia member, Lu Shaotan, Sakamoto’s daughter Hana and his beloved wife Aoi, the friend-loving sniper Heisuke Masumi, and Nagumo, Sakamoto’s colleague from his days as an assassin.
Meanwhile, the leading PV shows Taro Sakamoto’s peaceful daily life as he abides by the “Sakamoto family motto,” his friends surrounding him, and an action scene with an assassin targeting Sakamoto, who has a 1 billion yen bounty on his head. This work’s opening theme is “Hashire SAKAMOTO,” a song by Vaundy. Vaundy, a big fan of the original work, has revealed his confidence in the song, saying, “I feel like I’ve done quite a lot with this song.”
The first season of this work will be broadcast on TV Tokyo from 11:00 pm every Saturday from January 11, 2025. The second season will be broadcast on TV Tokyo and other networks from midnight every Monday from July of the same year. It will also be distributed on Netflix and other distribution platforms.
A unique program will be broadcast just before the January 4, 2025 broadcast. Vaundy (theme song) comment: This time, I wrote the opening theme “Run SAKAMOTO” for the TV anime “SAKAMOTO DAYS.” I loved the original work, such as the power of the pictures that you get absorbed in before you know it, the story development, and the addictive gap between everyday life and killing, so I am thrilled to be entrusted with the opening of the critical first anime adaptation of such a work.
I created “Run SAKAMOTO,” hoping that the song would convey the “overwhelming strength that no one can catch up with” of the main character, Sakamoto, who everyone is chasing after. I was blessed with the opportunity to record in London, and the sound is a little different, so I’ve done my best to make this song. It will be a song that will run together with the original work, the anime, and everyone.
