The release date for the movie "Specials," starring NCT's Yuta, has been set for March 6, 2026 (Friday). New information has been released all at once, including the main poster, theme song details, additional cast, and movie ticket information. This completely original work, with a story and script by director Eiji Uchida, features a group of "lonely professional assassins" with different ages and personalities who team up to participate in a dance competition where the eccentric boss of the underworld, Honjo-kai, is sure to appear, aiming for an assassination. A makeshift team with zero experience, zero cooperation, and zero motivation challenges serious dancing!? The story unfolds with unpredictable originality. The members of this dance team include the legendary former assassin Daiya (Daisuke Sakuma), who works as a kind assistant at a children's care facility; Kumashiro (Kippei Shiina), the second-in-command of the Kazama group who brought the assassins together for this mission; Kiryu (Yuta Nakamoto), a cool assassin with a past injury who dislikes crowds; Shin (Sho Aoyagi), a hot-headed but compassionate assassin; and Murasame (Hitoshi Ozawa), a former martial arts yakuza who has now fallen on hard times, all gathering with their own thoughts to take on the mission. The theme song for the film will be performed by Snow Man, with Daisuke Sakuma playing the lead role of Daiya. The title of the theme song is "Odorouze!" Expectations are high for what kind of song and dance Snow Man will showcase, having previously released unique dance tracks like "Brother Beat" and "Charismax." The title fits perfectly with the story of assassins striving to participate in a dance competition for a reward of 100 million yen. The song will be released at a later date. Additionally, an impactful main poster visual has been unveiled. The previously released teaser visual depicted the dance venue before the main event, while this new visual shows the curtain rising, with Daiya and the five assassins striking sharp poses on stage. Their expressions, illuminated by dazzling lights, are not fitting for the glamorous dance, but rather severe. And amidst this, countless bullets are aimed at them... The design gives an impression of the intense shootout that the assassins will face. What kind of conclusion awaits Daiya and the five? Please pay attention to the story as well. Furthermore, additional cast information surrounding the five assassins has been revealed. A new actress, Urara, will make her debut as Akari, a dance girl from the children's care facility who admires Daiya. Aki Maeda will play Riko, a kind senior staff member at the facility. Yuzuki Hirakawa will portray Shiori, the center of a capable dance team and the beloved granddaughter of the underworld's top boss, Honjo. Kenichi Yajima will play Zaizen, a mysterious man pursuing Daiya, and Naomasa Musaka will play Kazama, the leader of the Kazama group wishing for Honjo's assassination. Renji Ishibashi will take on the role of the eccentric boss of Honjo-kai. Please look forward to the interactions between Daiya and the five assassins. Additionally, starting November 28 (Friday), movie ticket cards with exclusive viewing benefits will be available for purchase. Details can be checked on the official website. ■ Work Overview "Specials" Release: March 6, 2026 (Friday) Original story, script, and direction: Eiji Uchida Cast: Daisuke Sakuma (Snow Man), Kippei Shiina, Yuta Nakamoto (NCT), Sho Aoyagi, Hitoshi Ozawa, Urara, Aki Maeda, Yuzuki Hirakawa, Kenichi Yajima, Naomasa Musaka, Renji Ishibashi Choreography: Akane Music: Yohei Kobayashi Theme song: Snow Man "Odorouze!"
