go!go!vanillas’ latest track “Dandelion” has been selected as the ending theme of the TV anime SAKAMOTO DAYS.

 SAKAMOTO DAYS is an extremely popular series that has surpassed 8 million copies in circulation. The story is about Taro Sakamoto, a former legendary hitman, who now fights alongside his allies to protect the peaceful daily life he shares with his beloved family from relentless assassins in this hitman solid action story.

The newly released main trailer (ver.2) features part of “Dandelion,” the new ending theme by go!go!vanillas. Regarding the theme, the band commented:

“We were truly happy to receive this opportunity as fans of the series. The ending theme ‘Dandelion’ was not created to reflect Sakamoto’s active side as a hitman, but to focus on the quiet peace and the price that follows after the fight ends and he returns home.”

The lyrics, written by vocalist/guitarist Tatsuya Maki, highlight the way Taro Sakamoto lives his life.

 

Please look forward to more information on “Dandelion,” and be sure to check out go!go!vanillas’ upcoming tours and music festival appearances.

 

 

Full comment from go!go!vanillas:

“Weekly Shonen Jump has taught me how to live my life since I was a child. The exciting battle scenes, the strong characters and lines have always moved me. I’m grateful to Yuto Suzuki for creating a work that preserves the greatness of old-school while striking with innovation.

We were truly happy to receive this opportunity as fans of the series.

The ending theme ‘Dandelion’ was not created to reflect Sakamoto’s active side as a hitman, but to focus on the quiet peace and the price that follows after the fight ends and he returns home.

I’m also really looking forward to this Part 2 because I love ORDER. Please listen to the song a lot.”

■INTRODUCTION

The man who was feared by all villains, and revered by all hitmen—

one day, fell in love!

When Sakamoto met Aoi the convenience store clerk,

it was love at first sight; and just like that, he retired.

Sakamoto got married, had a daughter,

opened a mom-and-pop store in a quiet town,

and completely transformed… into a plus size!

 

To ensure a peaceful life with his beloved family, the legendary ex-hitman takes on a relentless stream of assassin attacks.

 

This action-packed story of the ordinary and extraordinary begins here!

• go!go!vanillas Profile

 

go!go!vanillas is a four-piece band consisting of Tatsuya Maki (vo/g), Shintaro Yanagisawa (g), Keisuke “Pretty” Hasegawa (ba), and Jett Seiya (dr). The foundation of their crossover sounds stretches the possibilities of a rock ‘n’ roll band as they blend elements from garage rock, hardcore, ska, funk, R&B, etc., while there lies an unwavering respect and curiosity for roots music, which defines their identity.

In January 2024, go!go!vanillas signed with IRORI Records, a label under Pony Canyon. Their first single after the move, “SHAKE,” marked a new chapter for the band with their first overseas recording. Produced at a prestigious recording studio in London, the track breaks a fresh new ground for the band.

In May 2025, they held their first solo concert in Seoul, South Korea. That same year, they also expanded their international presence with performances at The Great Escape in the UK and the Oberkampf Music Festival in France.
