On March 19, 2025, the highly anticipated film '#TruthToBeTold' announced that the theme song would be a new track titled 'Tenkyu' by the popular rock band Mrs. GREEN APPLE. This revelation accompanies the release of the latest trailer and the official poster visual, further building excitement for the movie, set to debut on April 25, 2025.
The film '#TruthToBeTold' stars Motoki Omori from Mrs. GREEN APPLE and Fuma Kikuchi from the idol group timelesz. They lead the cast in a story that revolves around a viewer-participation live-streaming channel that aims to expose various truths and gossips, giving its audience a chance to profit through digital tips.
Mrs. GREEN APPLE's 'Tenkyu' has been crafted specifically for this production, with Omori portraying the character Suzuki, who becomes embroiled in a gripping narrative full of unexpected twists and revelations. During a recent event, audiences heard the new song and expressed their reactions, highlighting its unique style compared to the band's previous works. "It’s different from the other Mrs. GREEN APPLE songs. It’s hard to put the feeling into words. The way it ends sticks in your mind," said one supporter, underscoring the emotional weight the track carries.
In a statement, Omori shared his thoughts on the song: "I thought I would depict 'Tenkyu' from a future perspective, but through this opportunity and timing, I was able to create this piece. I hope it resonates with everyone and captures the essence of the film. This song is meant to be significant and should leave a lasting impression on those who hear it after watching the movie." His words reflect a deep connection to the project and its narrative.
The film itself is based on the mystery novel by Shinichi Ketsuki, which has sold over 700,000 copies, reinforcing its popularity before adaptation. The movie promises to unfold various shocking truths as it navigates its moral complexities, emphasizing the concept of choices in critical moments, including the often blurred lines between right and wrong.
As revealed in the newly released trailer, tension escalates when Suzuki speaks of harrowing truths. One scene shows him stating gravely, "That kid was also killed," which is promptly followed by his fierce friend Kiriyama (played by Kikuchi) confronting him with the plea, "You cannot kill!" The stark contrast between the emotional depth and the throat-clenching suspense evident in the trailer suggests a gripping cinematic experience awaits.
Furthermore, the marketing team has unveiled a striking poster featuring Suzuki’s tearful eyes and the anxious expression of Kiriyama, hinting at the nervous tension that permeates throughout the story's arc. Their expressions capture well the mix of fear and anticipation that viewers may feel as they await the unfolding of the plot.
The film's producers, including Takashi Hirano, have voiced their confidence in Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s contribution to the movie. Hirano expressed his relief upon witnessing Omori’s acting prowess, which dispelled initial worries about the potential overshadowing of his musical contributions by his acting role. "Seeing his performance eased all my concerns and made it clear that the song and the film intertwine in a powerful way," Hirano noted.
He also conveyed a desire for the audience to leave the theater uplifted and more introspective about the movie's themes. "Many might think the movie ends before the credits, but this project, including 'Tenkyu', comes together to create one meaningful experience that should be felt fully in theaters," he urged.
In conjunction with Mrs. GREEN APPLE winning the 'Theme Song Award' for their song 'Dear' at the 48th Japan Academy Film Prize, the excitement surrounding 'Tenkyu' is amplified by their recent accolades. This recognition marks Mrs. GREEN APPLE's continued rise within the industry, solidifying their place as significant contributors to contemporary cinematic storytelling.
As the clock ticks down to the movie's release, anticipation continues to build among fans not only for the film's screening but also for how the emotional currents of 'Tenkyu' will enhance their collective viewing experience. As requests flood in for more previews and discussions regarding the film, it is clear that '#TruthToBeTold' will be a spectacle that many will not want to miss.
