The additional cast for the TV anime adaptation of SAKAMOTO DAYS, based on Yuto Suzuki’s manga, has been revealed, along with the ending theme details and the release of the second main promotional video (PV). This was revealed during the Jump Festa 2025.
The ending theme, titled “Futsuu” (“Ordinary”), is performed by Conton Candy. A snippet of the song is featured in the second main trailer.
