Announced way, way, back in 2016 as the manga itself was ending, the live-action adaptation of Tite Kubo’s Bleach manga is ever closer. With it being planned for a summer debut from Warner Bros. Japan that’s set for a July 20th, 2018 release in Japan, some new promotion has arrived for it. This trailer brings some additional details for the more music-focused fan as it reveals that [ALEXANDROS] is handling the theme song with “Mosquito Bite.”
Directed by Shinsuke Sato, the cast includes Sōta Fukushi as protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki, Hana Sugisaki as Rukia Kuchiki, Ryō Yoshizawa as Uryū Ishida, Taichi Saotome as Renji Abarai, and MIYAVI as Byakuya Kuchiki.
