"Moana 2" music video for "Beyond" sung by Tomona Yabiku has been released

The music video for the song "Beyond" sung by Tomona Yabiku, the voice actress of Moana in the Japanese version of Disney Animation Studios' latest film "Moana 2" (released December 6th, directed by Dave Derrick Jr.), was released on October 29th.

The song "Beyond" holds the key to the film, and expresses Moana's conflict and uncertainty about setting sail on a dangerous voyage where she may never be able to return to her loved ones, as well as her determination to believe in herself and set out on a new destiny.

In the released video, Yabiku, who moved the world with the previous film "How Far I'll Go", beautifully sings the change in Moana's emotions as she once again shoulders a great mission, from her conflict to her determination.

The song was written by two young and talented musicians, Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, who became the youngest winners of the 64th Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

Barlow said, "I wanted to express the emotions Moana feels when she leaves her little sister, her family, and the people on the island behind and sets off on an adventure. When I wrote this song, I instinctively felt it was perfect." Bear also revealed her thoughts on the song, saying, "This song has a slightly darker impression than 'How Far I'll Go.' The melody reflects Moana's complex and delicate emotions as she realizes that she has grown as a person and has more to lose."

"Moana 2" is the sequel to the previous film "Moana" released in 2016. Moana was spending time with her family and friends, but when she learns of a legend that says that if she reaches an island at the end of the ocean, the curse will be lifted, she decides to embark on a dangerous voyage to regain her bond. The film depicts her embarking on another adventure with Maui, the demigod who accompanied her on the adventure in the previous film, and new companions.
