On July 26th, it was announced that Amuro Namie's new song "Damage" will be used as the theme song for Izutsu Kazuyuki's new movie 'Ougon wo Daite Tobe' (English title: 'Fly With The Gold') starring Tsumabuki Satoshi.

The movie is based on the award-winning debut crime novel of the same name by best-selling author Takamura Kaoru. Set in Osaka, it follows six men as they plan and accomplish one of the boldest bank heists in order to steal gold bars worth billions of Yen from a bank's basement. In addition to Tsumabuki, the team is made up of Asano Tadanobu, Kiritani Kenta, Mizobata Junpei, Changmin (Tohoshinki), and Nishida Toshiyuki.

Amuro's last movie tie-in was around 10 months ago with "Tempest" for 'Gekijoban Tempest 3D'. Director Izutsu commented about this choice, stating, "It's a story about men who are putting their lives at stake, so I thought �an emotional female singing voice would be the best for the theme song�as it is a about men tackling a challenge they have no intention to lose."

"Damage" will be a hard rock number written and composed by music producer Nao'ymt. He has already produced numerous songs for Amuro before, and commented about the upcoming song, saying, "Am I falling or is the world around me rising while I'm being left behind? You become anxious when feeling such an ambiguity. This song describes the heat as well as the irrepressible power and the lingering loneliness that you possess when trying to escape from that feeling."

Director Izutsu added, "Contrary to what you'd expect from Amuro, this song is being delivered with an unusual punchy and strong sound that you can even feel in your stomach. It's both a heavy and a cool song."

While "Damage" has yet to get a release date, 'Ougon wo Daite Tobe' is scheduled to open in theaters nationwide on November 3rd.
