Yuya Yagira is the lead actor in RYUJI Ryuji, a remake of the 1983 yakuza film that opens October 30. Yagira plays Ryuji. Rina Kawaei plays his wife Mariko. The film is directed by Nobuo Mizuta.
Coverage of the film has moved through three stages. In September, an interview video with Yagira and making-of footage was released, and a manga adaptation by Kosuke Tokimune was confirmed to start serialization on September 27 in Manga BANG Comics. Yagira discussed building the role with Mizuta and acting alongside Riku Hagiwara and JUNON of BE:FIRST.
In October, BE:FIRST member JUNON appeared at the Japan premiere in Tokyo on the 7th, alongside Yagira. JUNON plays Hiroshi, Ryuji's underling. At the premiere, JUNON said he chased Yagira's back as an actor and absorbed many things, and noted BE:FIRST handled the theme song and insert song. A collaboration video for the theme song, "It's not a bad life," written by BE:FIRST, followed. JUNON wrote and composed part of the track. The video combines film footage and making-of material.
The stories connect through Yagira's position as the lead. The promotion pairs his performance with the music and supporting cast, and the manga adaptation runs alongside the film campaign.
