A special compilation video for the recent live-action film Tokyo Ghoul S, which hit Japanese theatres on July 19, was recently released.

Before the film’s release, it premiered in Tokyo, Osaka and Paris to rave reviews. At the premiere events, Shota Matsuda, who plays Tsukiyama, proclaimed the movie as “a romance film between Tsukiyama and Kaneki.”

The compilation video reveals Kaneki’s many encounters with Tsukiyama, from their first encounter to their aggressive battles, as well as the iconic scene from the original manga series when Tsukiyama sniffs a handkerchief with Kaneki’s blood on it in pure ecstasy. The video includes the film’s theme song Introduction by QUEEN BEE which was written and composed by band vocalist Avu-chan.

The films directors, Hiramaki Kazuhiko and Takuya Kawasaki, also explained how much they focused on making sure Tsukiyama, who is popular amongst Tokyo Ghoul fans, was a strongly written character. They described in particular the climactic battle scene which isn’t just a simple fight and instead is an opportunity for Kaneki to not only express himself to Kaneki but also eat him as he sees Kaneki as an ingredient. Kaneki is drowned in Tsukiyama’s adoration for himself. Speaking about the role, Masataka Kubota, who plays Kaneki, said he made sure to play more of a passive role.

QUEEN BEE just dropped their new music video for Introduction on YouTube.

The song is taken from their latest album Ju which hit shelves back in May. The song will feature as the main theme for the forthcoming film Tokyo Ghoul S, the sequel to the live-action adaptation of the popular manga and anime series Tokyo Ghoul.

The music video was directed by Nakane Sayaka who has worked on QUEEN BEE’s most recent videos including HALF, Hypnotize, and Holy War.

The sequel to the live-action film Tokyo Ghoul, entitled Tokyo Ghoul S, will be released on July 19, 2019. The first film dropped in 29 countries around the world in July 2017 and went on to become a huge hit. The sequel features a whole new staff team with returning cast members.

Tokyo Ghoul S was shown at the 20th Japan Expo event in Paris, France on July 7, the first pre-release screening since its premiere in Tokyo. Several cast members including Masataka Kubota (Ken Kaneki), Shota Matsuda (Shū Tsukiyama) and Maika Yamamoto (Touka Kirishima) as well as the film producer Tomohiro Nagae appeared at the event for a Q&A session with fans.

The French fans welcomed the staff on stage with a round of applause as Kubota and Matsuda greeted them with a “Bonjour!” They got straight into the Q&A, with Kubota, who plays the half-ghoul Kaneki, explaining to the crowd, “All of you eat meat and vegetables, but ghouls are only able to eat people.”

He continues, “People go mad when it’s them who are to be eaten. But I think that’s part of the appeal of this movie.”

The producer Nagae elaborated on the film’s deep theme: “One thing about this film is how universal its theme is. No matter where you go in the world, it’s mutual. Humans and ghouls experience much drama throughout the franchise, but this also applies to those close to you. When you’re watching the film, try thinking what would happen if you yourself became a ghoul.”

When asked about their favourite characters in the films, Kubota answered Juzo Suzuya, Matsuda answered Kaneki, and Yamamoto said her own character Touka.

Matusda also earned huge cheers from the crowd with his Tsukiyama-like answer, saying: “In this film Tsukiyama says for the first time since meeting Kaneki that he wants to eat him, so now I can’t think of anything else but him.”

When asked what fans should look forward to in this film, Kubota simply said “Shota Matsuda!” Matsuda followed this up saying, “I believe this is a romance film between Tsukiyama and Kaneki. Look forward to that aspect of it too.”
