The long-awaited feature film adaption of the popular Japanese crime series, based on the acclaimed South Korean masterpiece drama, Signal: The Movie Cold Case Investigation Unit, will be released on Blu-ray+DVD combo pack and digital download on March 15, 2022, from Eleven Arts and Shout! Factory. Directed by renowned filmmaker Hajime Hashimoto (Detective in the Bar, Aibou: The Movie IV), Signal is a masterfully crafted suspense thriller that combines stylish visuals, a captivating narrative, and edge-of-your-seat action in equal measures.
On top of its traditional cinematic appeal, the film’s theme song is the song “Film Out” by international K-Pop sensation BTS. The song was written by BTS member Jungkook, in collaboration with the lead vocalist of Japanese rock band back number, Iyori Shimizu, and produced by back number and UTA for Tiny Voice Production. Get a look at the film and hear a bit of the “Film Out” in the trailer below.

As a huge BTS fan myself, it’s really exciting to see TV shows and movies that have songs by them in it. One would not expect to hear a BTS song, much less one about a lover’s heartbreak, as the main theme of a murder mystery movie but it fits remarkably well for Signal. Not only is the movie/series really well done already, but adding a BTS song into the mix surely adds interest, given how astronomical the group is. If it is anything like how the BTS’ hit “Euphoria” was used briefly in the show Euphoria, it would add a significant number of viewers.
