The trailer for the movie “Baban Baban Bang Vampire” has been released on the official website and other sites. The main visual and theme song information have also been released.
This work is a vampire love comedy based on Hiromasa Okushima’s comic of the same name, which is being serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Champion (Akita Shoten).
Ryo Yoshizawa plays the role of Ranmaru Mori, a beautiful vampire who works at the main character’s public bath, and Rikoto Itagaki plays the role of Rijin Tateno, an innocent pure boy. Rijin’s first love, she is convinced that Ranmaru’s true identity is a vampire and falls in love with him. Nanoka Hara will play the role of Aoi Shinozuka.
In the trailer released this time, Ranmaru Mori (Ryo Yoshizawa), who has lived for 450 years as a terrifying vampire who sucks human blood, bites a human’s neck, exposing his bloody fangs. I thought it would start with such a scary atmosphere, but the scene changes and we see Ranmaru working at the public bath “Koi no Yu”, far from his vampire appearance.
No matter what he hides, Ranmaru is secretly watching over the purity of his son Li Jin (Itagaki Rimitsuto), the heir to Koi no Yu, in search of the ultimate taste of “the blood of an 18-year-old virgin.”
During the happy and calm days when Ri Jin’s pure and straightforward appearance makes him exclaim, “So cute…”, Ri Jin’s first love, Aoi (Hara Nanoka), stands in front of Ranmaru. In order to stop Li Jin from losing his virginity, he tries his best to keep Aoi away from Li Jin, and as a result, he ends up having an unexpected kabedon and a princess hug.
Li Jin, who was watching this from the side, misunderstood Ranmaru and thought, “We’re rivals in love.” What’s more, Aoi is a vampire otaku and realizes that Ranmaru is a vampire, and gradually begins to have feelings for Ranmaru, calling him “Vampire-sama♡.” Then, the arrows of each person’s feelings intersect, and an unprecedented battle of misunderstandings breaks out, leading to a huge event.
Franken (Sekiguchi Mendy), also known as the brain muscle leader, does not know that he is a vampire with a strong body, but admires Ranmaru because he lost a fight for the first time.He works as Li Jin’s homeroom teacher during the day, and is a vampire hunter at night. Mr. Sakamoto, who has a suspicious dual nature, is targeting Ranmaru as a (Shinnosuke Mitsushima), Ranmaru’s older brother Nagayoshi (Atsushi Maeda Go), his greatest nemesis who holds a grudge against Ranmaru and threatens the lives of Ranmaru and Rijin in an attempt to steal everything important to him, and the unique Rijin family and father.・Haruhiko Tateno (Takuma Oto), mother Tamao Tateno (Kurara Emi), grandfather Chojiro Tateno (Takashi Sasano)… Furthermore, a mysterious scene with Oda Nobunaga (Shinichi Tsutsumi), whom Ranmaru once served and loved since the Sengoku period, is shown.
In addition, the video is full of a variety of other highlights, such as a scene where Ranmaru agonizes over the cuteness of Li Jin, whom he can’t stop loving, and a full-fledged action scene where Ranmaru and Nagayoshi risk their lives.
The theme song and main visual have also been released. The theme song has been decided to be imase’s “Ii Yudana 2025 imase × mabanua MIX”. The song is an arranged cover of the famous Showa song “Ii Yudana,” which everyone knows, and colors the work with a relaxing and comfortable rhythm.
Regarding the reason for hiring imase, the producer said, “I wanted the theme song to be euphoric and comfortable music, and I wanted to express the comfort of Japan’s famous song “Ii Yudana” in a fun way as a Reiwa chill song. I asked imase, who can do it,” he commented.
This visual is a visual that intersects the thoughts of the unique characters surrounding Ranmaru.
Mubichike will also go on sale from December 13th. A new visual of Ranmaru standing in his vampire costume with a deck brush and bucket in hand at Koi-no-Yu, where he works. For details, please visit the official website.
The movie “Baban Baban Bang Vampire” will be released on February 14, 2025. From January 11th, the TV anime version will also be broadcast on TV Asahi’s “IMAnimation” slot, BS Asahi, and CS TV Asahi Channel 1, and distributed on Netflix.
