A train full of killers, but the biggest killer is still the Bee Gees’ song Stayin’ Alive. A reimagined version of the classic song was used for Brad Pitt’s movie Bullet Train. The new, wild version was a special remix created by a Japanese singer named Avu-chan. It was made for the trailer, and the coolness of it makes the action scenes hit even harder. But how did this come to happen?
The original “Stayin’ Alive” is a disco anthem from the 1970s, a feel-good song that makes you think about dancing and having a good time. Bullet Train, a violent and satirical story about assassins, does not match the vibe. In fact, the filmmakers chose the song as a dark joke. Brad Pitt’s main character is just trying to stay alive (pun intended). This remix has never been performed live, and the Japanese cover adds a layer of style that wasn’t there before.

People have loved this new mix. Many think it is a perfect match for the movie’s crazy energy. Others are just surprised to hear the old song in a new way. It really shows how a great song can be changed and still be powerful.
To understand why this new version is so interesting, you have to go back to the start. The Bee Gees’ own music video showcases the band with complete jest and life. They sing with incredible power in their shiny white suits. The song’s beat is impossible to forget. It quickly became a symbol of confidence and strength. That feeling of overcoming challenges is the main reason the song was a wise choice for any story about survival.
