Official Hige Dandism has released a new song, “50%,” which is the theme song for the movie “Cells at Work!” starring Takeru Sato and Mei Nagano.
“Cells at Work!” is a very popular series with a cumulative circulation of over 10 million copies. The world’s smallest story, which takes place inside the human body, has been made into a long-awaited live-action film.
In addition, at the same time as the release, an official audio with a motif of the jacket photo will be released. This video was produced by UNDER CARD, the same as the jacket photo, and is a playful video that shows the people inside moving in various ways. I hope you enjoy it along with the music.
Higedan is holding his first Asian tour “OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM ASIA TOUR 2024 – Rejoice -” in Seoul and Taipei from December. Only the Taipei Arena performance remains.

Movie “Cells at Work”
Introduction
A manga that anthropomorphizes cells, “Cells at Work” (Akane Shimizu, published in Kodansha’s “Monthly Shonen Sirius”). It has become a hot topic since its serialization began, and it has become extremely popular in the blink of an eye. Its momentum shows no signs of slowing down, with anime adaptations, numerous spin-offs, and related books being created, and the series has become a mega hit with cumulative circulation exceeding 10 million copies. Now, the live-action film has finally been made into a reality. In addition to starring Mei Nagano as a red blood cell and Ken Sato as a white blood cell (neutrophil), Mana Ashida (Hiko Urushizaki) and Sadao Abe (Shigeru Urushizaki) play the roles of human parent and child, Koji Yamamoto (Killer T Cell), Riisa Naka (NK cells), Wakana Matsumoto (macrophages), Maikapu (platelets), Shota Sometani (helper T) Kyoko Fukada (liver cells), Ri Mitsuto Itagaki (new red blood cell), Ryo Kato (senior red blood cell), Seishiro Kato (senior Takeda), Ainosuke Kataoka (pneumococcus), Pearl Ozawa (staphylococcus aureus), Shinya Niino ( The cast is full of great stars, including Streptococcus pyogenes) and SEKAI NO OWARI’s Fukase as the cells’ strongest enemy. The director is hit maker Hideki Takeuchi (“Fly to Saitama”, “Thermae Romae”). The action director is Takahito Ouchi (Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho). The CG production was handled by Shirogumi, which has the highest level of technology in Japan. Furthermore, the theme song is “50%” written by official Hige Dandism. A dream team representing the Japanese entertainment world will create an original and unique world that no one has seen before. Welcome to the one-of-a-kind visual experience that can only be enjoyed at a movie theater – the Wonderland of Cells at Work, which will make you laugh, cry, and learn. This winter, your body will become the stage for an epic story!
story
The smallest protagonist in movie history… His name is Cell! There are 37 trillion cells in the human body. Red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that fight pathogens, and countless other cells work hard day and night to protect your health and life.
High school student Hiko Urushizaki lives with his father, Shigeru. With his serious personality and healthy lifestyle, the cells in Higo’s body are always working happily. Meanwhile, inside Shigeru’s body, which spends his days irregularly, cells exhausted by the black working environment are always complaining. Even parent and child were very different inside their bodies.
The lively daily life of a good friend and child. However, pathogens that aim to invade the body begin to move… The “biggest battle in the history of the body” between cells for the future of Urushizaki parent and child begins! ?
