by The new theatrical anime Sakumin no Ale wo will be released in early summer 2024. In addition, teaser visuals, unique footage, cast information, and more were released.
Kanakata Asaya, a high school boy immersed in making music videos (MVs), is inspired by a street live performance he sees one day and becomes inspired to make a music video for the song. However, the person singing was Yu Orishige, a female teacher who had given up on pursuing music.
This film, which vividly depicts the joy and pain of manufacturing based on the encounter between two people, was created by the three members of “Hurray!”, consisting of Popurika, Ohajiki, and Magotsuki, who worked on the video as director, director, and character designer, in charge of almost everything.
Toki Hanada wrote the script for “Love Live!” and “A Place Further than the Universe,” and the video production team comprised of “Popurika,” “Ohajiki,” and “Magotsuki” did almost all of the video work from direction and direction to character design. The three members of “Hurray created it ”.
The song sung by Yu Orishige in the movie is produced by VIVI, who is also active as a Vocaloid P. The singer was also selected as “RADAR: Early Noise 2022” by Spotify, a next-generation artist expected to perform well. Singer-songwriter Kei Sugawara is in charge of the song and sings Yu Orishige’s feelings in the song with a neutral and emotional voice.
I’m Natsuki Hanae, who will play the Kanata Asaya role this time. I read the materials for this work at the audition and was very impressed. This work delicately depicts the feelings that everyone feels, such as the passion for creating something, how difficult it is, and the joys and sorrows of expectations and anxiety, all set to beautiful images and music. I want a variety of people to see it. I’m sure you’ll be pushed forward and start running toward the future!
I wanted to be involved in this work when I read the audition materials. The faces of the important people around me came to mind, and the faces of the fans who support me also came to mind. I wanted to deliver it to them, and I wanted them to see it. The character I played had an atmosphere that felt like a cloudy sky that never cleared up, and it was a character I had never played before. May the cry of her heart give her the courage to take a step forward. Please look forward to the release!!
