Creepy Nuts' new song "doppelgänger" (read: doppelganger) will be the theme song for the movie "Under Ninja," to be released on January 24, 2025.

Under Ninja" is the latest work by Kengo Hanazawa, a manga artist known for his many popular works such as "I Am a Hero." It is based on the manga "Under Ninja" (serialized in Kodansha's "Young Magazine"), which depicts a new image of ninja lurking in modern society and was made into a popular terrestrial TV anime in 2023.

Directed by Yuichi Fukuda, the film stars Kento Yamazaki as the lead actor, and is also attracting a great deal of attention for its gorgeous and diverse cast of talented actors, including Minami Hamabe, Shotaro Mamiya, Mai Shiraishi, Chihiro Yamamoto, Ryuya Miyase, Ryotaro Sakaguchi, Shinobu Hasegawa (Sisonne), Haruka Kinami, Murotsuyoshi, Amane Okayama, Mitsuru Hirata and Jiro Sato.

The song "doppelgänger" was inspired by the story and setting of "Under Ninja," and features a bass-heavy, danceable track by DJ Matsunaga and an impressive rap by R-jiken, who uses a variety of voices like a doppelgänger. Creepy Nuts says, "I know that you are all living your daily lives with various selves. We are all the same, and the person I was when I wrote this song and the person I am now when I think about this comment are two very different things. Of course, there is also a part of me that I can't talk about. These various selves are interchangeable, using all kinds of techniques to blend into our daily lives. He commented.

Lead actor Kento Yamazaki commented on the theme song, "The lyrics are very much linked to the story, and the weird and dark rhythm matches the atmosphere of ninjas lurking in the modern world. I thought it was a great song that will add more charm to the movie "Under Ninja" after the movie is over," he commented.

The latest trailer for the movie was released today along with the theme song information. A part of the song "doppelgänger" is used in the trailer, which you can check out along with the story of the movie.

Creepy Nuts Comments

I am sure that all of you are living your daily lives with various aspects of yourself in your daily lives.
We are the same, and the person I was when I wrote this song and the person I am thinking of when I make this comment are two very different things.
Of course, there are some of myself that I can't talk about.
These various selves are interchangeably integrated into daily life using all kinds of techniques.
Was it too unrelated to the movie?
Please check at the theater to see if it is really irrelevant.

◆Kento Yamazaki comment
Thank you Creepy Nuts for the theme song!
I was told that the music was written for this film "Under Ninja".
The lyrics are very much linked to the story, and the weird and dark rhythms of the story are very much linked to the atmosphere of ninjas lurking in the modern world.
It's a match, and after watching it, you'll be able to see more
I thought it was a very good song that would add to the charm of this film "Under Ninja".
Creepy Nuts' typical pop words and interesting word choices are also wonderful.
I hope you will enjoy "Under Ninja" along with this music at the theater.

◇Story
The "Ninja" have always moved Japanese history behind the scenes.
Although they enjoyed a period of prosperity, the organization was dismantled by GHQ after the war and ceased to exist.
Even today, however, ninja exist in secret, lurking in everyday life and operating in the dark around the world. Their number is said to be as many as 200,000.
However, the ninja at the end of the line were often unable to find work, and one such ninja was Kuro Kumogakure, a low-ranking ninja belonging to "NIN".
One day, Kuro, who was living in a rundown apartment with little time to do anything else, was told of a serious "Ninmu" assignment.
It is to investigate a mysterious organization that has been hiding underground for more than 70 years since the end of the war.
The name of the organization is - "Under Ninja". Also known as "UN".
Kuro infiltrates Kodan High School as a student after receiving information that "UN" is lurking there.
His classmate Ayaka Noguchi is suspicious of Kuro's behavior, which is not typical of a high school student, but for some reason she is a little concerned.
In the midst of this, the elite ninjas of NIN were attacked one after another by the UN.
What is the purpose of "UN"?　And finally, the attack at Kodan High School begins..!
The fate of modern ninja Kuro and high school girl Noguchi is caught up in a battle beyond imagination!
