Cherry Boys Live-Action Film's Trailer Previews Theme Song

The staff of the live-action film adaptation of Tomohiro Koizumi's Cherry Boys manga began streaming a new trailer on Monday. The video previews the theme song "GO! GO! Cherry Boy!" by The MANNISH BOYS group (Kazuyoshi Saitō and Tatsuya Nakamura).
