Yatsuhakamura Trailer Drops with Theme Song by Tak Matsumoto's TMG
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.

A theme song trailer for Yatsuhakamura, in theaters September 18, has been released. 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.
The 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's history. Matsumoto said the song begins with quiet arpeggios and develops from heavy, dark riffs into enigmatic melodies and a sorrowful chorus.
