The key visual for Sakamoto Days shows the Sakamoto and his friends in front of his convenience store. While this would look like a normal slice-of-life anime, multiple characters are holding guns in the picture. The catchphrase for the show can loosely translate to “Ordinary folks living extraordinary lives.”

You can watch the trailer for Sakamoto Days here:

Vaudy will sing the opening song “Run Sakamoto.” Vaudy is a huge fan of the original work and he commented that he composed the song to impart the sensation of being so powerful that no one can hope to catch up to you. Aside from releasing his own single and albums, Vaudy has written songs that appeared in multiple anime series. This includes Ranking of Kings, Chainsaw Man, and Spy x Family.

Sakamoto Days follows Taro Sakamoto, a retired hitman who lives with his family and works as a convenience store owner. When criminals from his past life come to take revenge on him, Sakamoto must fight them off while pretending he’s just a normal person.

Season 1 of Sakamoto Days will start airing from January 11, 2025. It’ll appear on streaming services like Netflix.
