Osomatsu-san Live-Action Film's Promotional Video Features Aぇ! group's Song
An exciting development has occurred for the highly anticipated live-action film of the Osomatsu-san series, 'Osomatsu-san: Jinrui Kuzu-ka Keikaku!!!!!?'. A new promotional video (PV) released on June 4 features the song 'Dekoboko Life', performed by Aぇ! group, which serves as the film's main theme. This special PV also includes film scenes shown for the first time on the web, giving viewers important clues about the live-action adaptation of the Osomatsu-san world.
The Osomatsu-san anime series, which began in 2015, quickly gained a large fan base by focusing on the absurd and chaotic adventures of six identical brothers. This production, a modern reinterpretation of Fujio Akatsuka's classic Osomatsu-kun (1962) manga, successfully blends nostalgic elements with contemporary pop culture references. The film will cover events following the third season of the anime series and bring to the screen the comedic struggle of the brothers trying to prevent humanity from turning into 'trash'.
The newly released theme song PV combines the group's energetic performance with the film's visual effects. The song 'Dekoboko Life' (Bumpy Life) has a rhythm that reflects the irregular but fun lifestyle of the six brothers. The video shows the characters presented in cinematic angles and includes scenes not seen in previous trailers. In particular, the scene where the six brothers dance simultaneously was met with great enthusiasm by fans.
The film also draws attention by featuring original voice actors from the anime series, such as Shintaro Asanuma and Jun Fukuyama. In the live-action adaptation, young actors like Ryo Nishikata and Kaito Nakahara share the lead roles. The director's chair is occupied by Tsuyoshi Nakakuki, who previously worked on the Tokyo Revengers live-action series. The production is planned for release in Japan in summer 2025, while international release dates have not yet been announced.
This development is very exciting for Osomatsu-san fans. Although the quality of live-action adaptations is always a topic of debate, the visual effects and actor performances in the released PVs are promising. A new trailer and detailed information are expected to be shared at the film's press conference in July. At a time when the live-action trend is increasing in the Japanese animation industry, this adaptation of Osomatsu-san aims to attract both old fans and new viewers to theaters.
