the live-action Blue Lock movie just dropped its second trailer and the theme song is by Ado — it's called 'Monstruo.' the film adapts Kaneshiro and Nomura's soccer manga that's been running since 2018 and has 38 volumes out. Yūsuke Taki directing, TOHO distributing, CREDEUS producing — same studio behind the live-action Golden Kamuy film.
Fills a significant coverage gap in the anime category (only 1 story in last 48h, underrepresented at 1%) with a specific, checkable story sourced from Anime News Network — a top-tier anime trade outlet — detailing a major trailer release and theme song announcement for a high-profile live-action adaptation.
Blue Lock has become one of the biggest sports manga properties of the decade, winning Kodansha's Best Shōnen Manga award in 2021 and spawning a popular anime series. The casting of Ado — one of Japan's most prominent artists, known for 'Usseewa' and the One Piece Film Red soundtrack — signals strong commercial ambitions for the adaptation. Live-action manga films remain a crowded space, and the pairing of a major IP with a chart-topping artist gives this one a clear marketing edge.
Blue Lock is a juggernaut — manga's been selling like crazy, the anime blew up, and now Ado doing the theme song is a statement move. she's one of the biggest artists in Japan right now. live-action manga adaptations are always a gamble but attaching a name like Ado to the soundtrack is how you get casual audiences to pay attention.
