Japanese rock band One Ok Rock is set to release a new digital single on Sept. 16.
Available on iTunes, "Taking Off" will reportedly be the theme song of Japanese movie Museum, slated to be released this year. Directed by Keishi Otomo and starred Shun Oguri and Shuhei Nomura, the film follows a serial killer who hides his face behind a frog mask. The murder investigation is led by detective Hisashi Sawamura (Oguri) who soon finds out that the killer’s next target will be his family.
