Two months out from its August 7 premiere, the Blue Lock live-action adaptation has dropped a stunning new trailer that showcases intense soccer battles and Ado’s electrifying theme song ‘Monstruo.’
According to Oricon, the new theme song “Monstruo” was composed and arranged by the powerhouse duo Giga and TeddyLoid. The pair reunited after their hit collaborations on “Odo” and “Show.” It features an energetic Latin-inspired rhythm, with lyrics written by ryo of supercell.
“My new song ‘Monstruo’ has been selected as the theme song for the BLUE LOCK movie. Following ‘Odo’ and ‘Show,’ Giga and TeddyLoid have teamed up once again to create a passionate song driven by a Latin inspired rhythm. The title ‘Monstruo’ means ‘monster’ in Spanish. It perfectly matches the message of the film, encouraging people to awaken the monster within themselves and fight to move forward higher than anyone else. I hope everyone enjoys this incredible collaboration, the BLUE LOCK movie, and the new song.”

The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match…and to do so, they’ve gathered 300 of Japan’s best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team…and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?”
