Kroi Electrifies Fans with New Single "Method," Opening Theme for Hit Anime SAKAMOTO DAYS Part 2
Japanese sensation Kroi has just dropped their latest single, "Method," serving as the explosive opening theme for the eagerly awaited second part of the hit anime series, SAKAMOTO DAYS. The single release coincides perfectly with the anime’s global Netflix premiere, further fueling the excitement among fans worldwide.
Directed by renowned filmmaker Taichi Kimura, the music video for "Method" is a visual masterpiece. Using an innovative setup of 40 iPhones arranged in a full 360-degree configuration, the band delivers an electrifying performance, capturing their raw energy and powerful presence. This high-tension visual is already making waves online and perfectly complements the anime’s dynamic storyline.
Kroi shared their creative vision behind the track: "In Part 2, the contrast between everyday life and intense action gets even stronger. We tried to bring that out by adding a slightly uneasy vibe beneath the bright tone." True to their word, "Method" is a blend of tight grooves and high-octane energy, vividly portraying the surreal yet compelling life of assassins who strive for normalcy amidst chaos.
SAKAMOTO DAYS continues to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative centered around the legendary former hitman Taro Sakamoto. After retiring for love and a quiet life, Sakamoto’s peace is relentlessly disrupted by assassins. Part 2 intensifies with an epic three-way clash involving Sakamoto's crew, the elite strike team "ORDER," and the mysterious killer "X," igniting buzz across social media and anime communities globally.
Having previously lent their unique sound to popular anime titles such as UNDER NINJA and SAND LAND, Kroi further solidifies their reputation with "Method" as a go-to band for anime hits.
Fans eager to experience Kroi's powerful live shows will soon have the chance. The band kicks off the Kroi Live Tour 2025 – HALL this August, performing across seven cities in Japan. Following that, they're set to headline the anticipated Kroi Live Tour 2026 – ARENA, including landmark venues like Osaka-jō Hall and Tokyo's iconic Yoyogi National Stadium.
