About the Film: "100 Meters"

"100 Meters" itself is a cinematic adaptation of the acclaimed debut manga by Uoto, an artist widely celebrated for his groundbreaking work, "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth," which earned him the prestigious Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize Grand Prize. The film plunges audiences into the heart-pounding world of the 100-meter sprint, exploring the intense passion and bordering-on-madness that defines this ultimate test of speed.

Central to its narrative are two compelling characters who embody contrasting philosophies: Togashi, whose prowess is fueled by innate talent, and Komiya, a testament to the power of relentless effort. These pivotal roles are brought to life by the esteemed voices of Tori Matsuzaka and Shota Sometani, respectively, promising a dramatic and emotionally resonant experience.

Behind the scenes, the anime film boasts an impressive creative team. It is skillfully directed by Kenji Iwaisawa, celebrated for his work on "On-Gaku: Our Sound," with Yasuyuki Muto meticulously crafting the script. Keisuke Kojima takes on the dual role of character designer and animation director, ensuring a visually stunning and authentic portrayal of Uoto's vision. The production is expertly managed by ROCK’N ROLL MOUNTAIN studio, while Hiroaki Tsutsumi composes an original soundtrack poised to elevate the film's emotional intensity.

Global Release and Lyrical Inspiration

Anime enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the Japanese premiere on September 19, 2025, followed swiftly by a North American release on October 12, 2025, championed by GKIDS. Both Japanese and English dubbed versions will be available, ensuring accessibility for a global audience.

Satoshi Fujihara, the lead vocalist of Official HIGE DANdism, penned the poignant lyrics for "Rashisa," drawing direct inspiration from the raw narrative of Uoto's manga. His words offer heartfelt encouragement to individuals grappling with internal struggles and the inevitable setbacks inherent in competitive pursuits. Fans seeking deeper insights into this creative synergy can find a special interview between Uoto and Fujihara on the official "100 Meters" website.

Adding to the excitement, Official HIGE DANdism had previously released a separate live-action music video in August, strategically broadening the film's musical presence across various platforms.
