The film “Specials” has been decided to be released in spring 2026, as a completely original work written, written and directed by Uchida Eiji, the original work of “Midnight Swan.” The lead role is Sakuma Daisuke (Snow Man), who is the first solo film starring in this film. This is the first time I’ve been working with Uchida Eiji since “Matching.” The team will feature a range of gorgeous, unique members, including Shiina Kippei, Nakamoto Yuta (NCT), Aoyagi Sho, and Ozawa Hitoshi! “The assassins are seriously dancing!?” An unprecedented “Amazing dance action entertainment” begins! !
Therefore, we would appreciate your introduction to this information.
The assassins dance seriously! ?
This completely original work is directed by Uchida Eiji, who is the original creator and scriptwriter.
Solitary professional assassins of different ages and personalities take on a mission of a highly reward, but the only way to eliminate the target’s “crazy” is to win a dance tournament! A contagious and inspiring team with no experience, zero coordination and no motivation will take on serious dance! ? We will unfold stories that are unique to originals, such as those that are unpredictable.
The members of the dance team are five people: Dia (Sakuma Daisuke), a legendary former assassin who usually works as a kind-hearted auxiliary staff member at a child care facility; Kumashiro (Shiina Kippei), the number 2 of the Kazama group, who is the one who brought together the assassins for this mission; Kiryu (Nakamoto Yuta), a cool assassin who suffers from wounds in the past and hates being swarmed; Shin (Aoyagi Sho), a human-minded assassin who tends to have blood on his head; Murasame (Ozawa Hitoshi), a former martial arts yakuza who is like a brother to Kumajo but has now completely fallen.
The feelings behind the mission are each. Specials is a film that depicts an original story in which the assassins seriously dance with a collection of distinctive, unique characters and a magnificent cast. Please look forward to it!
Please consider introducing this news.

“Thoughts and Messages for the Work”
Diamond role: Sakuma Daisuke (Snow Man)
This is the first film I’ve teamed up with Director Uchida, one of my mentors who inspired the fun of acting in the film, and will be starring in the first time. I read the script with excitement about how the assassin and dance would connect, and it was very interesting and also a detailed story unique to Director Uchida. And with all the gorgeous members. In the dance, it was me and Yuta, and in the acting, Shiina, Aoyagi, and Ozawa were leading us, but we were able to do our best in our own way.
It is a gentle work that will develop friendship and love with a variety of people, as well as a lively, serious, and fun scenes that have been tried for the first time, and it is packed with dance and comical, giggling scenes, so I hope everyone will enjoy it.
Kumajou role: Shiina Kippei
When I received the proposal, it was said that the story of five assassins would form a team and dance to participate in the tournament. Why dance? I thought so, but as I read the script, I got into Naruhodo. . But wait, I’ve hardly ever danced. What’s more, they dance with the sharp Sakuma-kun and Yuta-kun. So we had the opportunity to train hard before we started filming, and we finally got to the set. So, what is the outcome! Please come and see the completely new worldview of Director Uchida’s portrayal of violence and dance, which combines violence and dance.
Kiryu: Nakamoto Yuta (NCT)
When I first heard about the project for this work, I was honestly a little surprised and wondered, “A killer dances…?” However, as I read the script, I found out that it wasn’t just a surprise, but rather a story that was really interesting and I was drawn in.
And above all, seeing Kippei-san, Sho-san, and Ozawa’s older brothers really working hard at dancing practice with all their might, both me and Sakuma were really inspired. It’s so pleasant to see the scene where everyone is facing the same direction and sweating regardless of age or career. We were always close friends on the set, and we were always laughing. I don’t care (lol), but I’m seriously thinking that it would be nice if there was “Specials 2” again.
Please enjoy the world of “Specials” at the theater!
Shin: Aoyagi Sho
The film “Specials” has finally been released.
He stars Snow Man Sakuma Daisuke and co-starring Shiina Kippei, NCT’s Nakamoto Yuta and Ozawa Hitoshi.
The story is about a freelance assassin I play gathering together to aim for a dance tournament.
The three old men repeat the words, “You can dance, right?” and “No, since it’s the EXILE Theater Company, you can’t dance.” The two of them start dancing so easily.
Meanwhile, this work has begun dancing practice.
I hope you all enjoy it.
Please come and see it at the theater.
Murasame role: Ozawa Hitoshi
Working with Uchida is fun, but also thrilling.
Even though I say it’s impossible to sing and dance
Last time, he was made to sing “Conquer the Archipelago,” and then danced in “Specials.”
I said, “I can’t dance.”
Director: “It’s okay, it’s a simple dance.”
What’s easier? lol
Please enjoy the entertainment that the five of them co-starring for the first time in the theater!
Original idea, scriptwriter and director: Uchida Eiji
A long time ago. The part-time job I applied to was to “Television of Genius Takeshi’s Encouragement” to say that he might be able to work on the film set by director Kitano Takeshi, who I loved at the time. Although it was a short time, he was involved in the corner of high school students’ Dance Koshien, which was a pioneer of dance programs, and was fascinated by “dance.” Since then, I’ve been thinking of a film about dance. He starred Sakuma Daisuke, who was hooked on the dance genius right next to him, and his personality and acting, and had a long-time relationship with him. We received strong support from super actors such as Shiina Kippei and Ozawa Hitoshi. There are different personalities and people who don’t seem to fit in at all. A messy story. To be honest, I had given up on creating a work that I had given up on, but it has finally been completed. It makes me feel nervous, laugh, and in fact I cry. The moment when actors with different personalities come together, I was moved to tears even on set. Oh, if you think it’s a lie, be sure to check it out at the theater.
