imase releases “Iiyudana 2025 (imase x mabanua MIX)” (original Japanese title: いい湯だな 2025 (imase × mabanua MIX)), an arranged cover of the classic “Iiyudana” which originally became popular in the late 1960s as the theme song for a legendary Japanese comedy show and is still widely known among Japanese people today.
This cover is confirmed as the theme song for the Japanese comedy film Bang Bang Bang Vampire starring Ryo Yoshizawa, which opens in Japan on July 4th. It is a live-action film adaptation of the popular manga series of the same name, about a 450-year-old vampire who works part-time in a public bathhouse
‘Iiyudana (いい湯だな)’ is an expression typically used in a situation when a hot spring (or bath) feels really good (as you can imagine, the song was chosen for the film because the main character works at a public bathhouse)
imase’s version of “Iiyudana” colors the film with a relaxed and comfortable rhythm, and the audience can enjoy a comparison with the original version too. The lyrics are arranged in accordance with the storyline of the film, while the rap part is completely original by imase!
