To promote the release, Young Animal’s official YouTube channel has posted a 60-second live-action PV featuring 68-year-old Japanese singer Shigeru Matsuzaki as the protagonist Guts.
While performing as a talented singer almost for 50 years, Matsuzaki, who is 167 cm tall, has been known for his black-tanned skin and considered as Japan’s most tanned celebrity.
That’s probably why the publisher thought he was the best person to portray the “Black Swordsman” in the promotional video and posters.
