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!
The lyrics are linked to the story, and the mysterious and dark rhythm matches the atmosphere of the ninja lurking in the modern world. After watching the movie, I thought it was a very good song that would enhance the charm of the movie "Under Ninja.
I hope you will enjoy "Under Ninja" at the theater along with this song, which has a wonderful pop and interesting word choice that is typical of Creepy Nuts.
