The theme song for the live-action film “BLUE LOCK,” which will hit theaters on August 7, has been decided as Ado's new song "Monstruo." Along with this announcement, the main trailer featuring a portion of the song has been released.

The film “BLUE LOCK” is a live-action adaptation of the popular soccer manga set in the "Blue Lock" (Blue Prison) project, which aims to train the world's best striker to lead Japan to a World Cup victory. In this project, 300 high school forwards gathered from across the nation engage in a fierce survival battle where they compete to avoid elimination. The main character, Yoichi Isagi, is played by Fumiya Takahashi.

The theme song “Monstruo” is a title that means "monster" in Spanish. The song is composed and arranged by Giga and TeddyLoid, with lyrics written by ryo (supercell). It features a Latin-flavored rhythm and ever-changing rap vocals, creating a track with an overwhelming sense of speed.

Upon the selection of the theme song, Ado commented, "It is a song that awakens the 'monster' within and drives you to move forward and fight higher than anyone else, which perfectly matches the message of the work." In addition, the film's producer, Shinzo Matsuhashi, showed his confidence in the track, stating, "It was created through intense egoism and a collaboration that feels like a battle of titans."
