Superfly also performed theme songs for 1st, 2nd films

The official website of the live-action adaptations of Shohei Manabe's Ushijima the Loan Shark (Yamikin Ushijima-kun) manga revealed on Sunday that Superfly will perform the theme songs and an image song for the two upcoming live-action films.

The Yamikin Ushijima-kun Part 3 film's theme song is titled "Kokoro no Yoroi." The Yamikin Ushijima-kun The Finale film's theme song is titled "Good-bye," while the image song is titled "Tenjō Tenge Yuiga Dokuson."

Superfly also performed the theme songs for the first and second live-action films.

The Yamikin Ushijima-kun Part 3 film will cover the "Free agent-kun" and "Chūnen kaishain-kun" (Middle-aged company employee-kun) arcs of the manga. The Yamikin Ushijima-kun The Finale film will cover the "Yamikin-kun" (Loan shark-kun) arc of the manga that approaches Ushijima's roots. Both films will open this fall.

Takayuki Yamada (Train Man, Crying Out Love in the Center of the World, Crows Zero, Gantz, 13 Assassins) reprises his titular lead role from the previous adaptations, Gō Ayano (Kamen Rider 555, Gantz II: Perfect Answer, live-action Gatchaman) reprises his role as Inui from the second television season, and Hiromi Sakimoto (Kamen Rider Gaim, Death Note) reprises his role as Takada from previous television seasons.

The third season of the live-action television adaptation of the manga will premiere on MBS on July 17, and on TBS on July 19. The season will adapt the "Sennō-kun" (Brainwashing-kun) story from volumes 26 to 28 of the manga.

The original Ushijima the Loan Shark manga depicts the human drama in the black market world, as seen through the eyes of the titular loan shark. Ushijima heads Kaukau Finance, an outfit that lends money at an illegal interest rate — "Togo" or 50% every 10 days.

The first live-action television series ran from October-December 2010, and the first film opened in August 2012. A second season premiered in January 2014, with a second film then premiering in May that same year.
