YUI has been tapped to provide the theme song and an insert song for the manga-to-movie adaptation "Kaiji," which stars Tatsuya Fujiwara as a gambler trying to erase an enormous debt.
Initially, YUI was only asked to provide the theme, but director Toya Sato ended up using two of her tunes. "It's all too much" will serve as the theme song, while "Never say die" will be heard during the film.
"Kaiji" is set to open in theaters on October 10. YUI's two songs will apparently be released as a double A-side single sometime in the same month.

Kaiji
Summary
Japan, 1995. After graduating from high school, Itō Kaiji moves to Tokyo to get a job, but he fails to find steady employment because the country is mired in its first recession since World War II. Depressed, he festers in his apartment, biding the time with cheap pranks, gambles, liquor and cigarettes. Kaiji is always thinking about money and his perpetual poverty frequently brings him to tears.
Kaiji's unrelenting misery continues for two years until he is paid an unexpected visit from a man named Endō, who wants to collect an outstanding debt owed to him in Kaiji's name. Endō gives Kaiji two options - either spend ten years to repay this outstanding debt, or board the gambling ship Espoir ("hope" in French) for one night to clear the debt. Using a con, Endō pressures Kaiji into accepting the deal, believing he will never come back from the voyage.
