Takashi Shimizu directs the new film adaptation of Seishi Yokomizo's mystery novel. TMG, the hard rock band led by B'z guitarist Tak Matsumoto, wrote the theme song DOOM. Matsuya Onoe plays detective Kindaichi Kosuke, with Tomoya Oku, Mayu Hotta, Reiko Takashima, Kenichi Takito, and Chitsuyoshi Kobayashi in the cast.","whyItMatters":"The trailer puts Matsumoto's guitar-led instrumental in front of the horror imagery, framing Shimizu's adaptation as a hard rock and horror proposition rather than a conventional period mystery.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe trailer sets a hard-edged instrumental track against fragments of a serial murder case in Yatsuhakamura, a village deep in the mountains of Okayama Prefecture. Tatsuya Igawa, a university student, returns after news of the death of his estranged mother and is drawn into the misfortune tied to the Tajimi house. He and Kindaichi Kosuke search for clues and arrive at a secret connected to the village\u0026#39;s history. Matsumoto said the song begins with quiet arpeggios and develops from heavy, dark riffs into enigmatic melodies and a sorrowful chorus.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Yatsuhakamura is the second Seishi Yokomizo adaptation Takashi Shimizu has taken on. He treats the mystery as a horror staging problem, and TMG's DOOM is the load-bearing part of the marketing.","twitterPost":"Takashi Shimizu built Yatsuhakamura's trailer around TMG's DOOM rather than the mystery plot. The song is selling the film, not the detective.","threadsPost":"Yatsuhakamura is Takashi Shimizu's second run at Seishi Yokomizo. So the trailer leans on TMG's DOOM instead of the mystery itself, because the draw is the director's horror pedigree plus B'z guitarist Tak Matsumoto's band, not another Kindaichi introduction.","newsletterBlurb":"A theme song trailer has arrived for Yatsuhakamura, Takashi Shimizu's new adaptation of Seishi Yokomizo's mystery novel, opening September 18.
