The release date for the animated film "Toritsukare Otoko" (directed by Takahashi Wataru) has been set for November 7th, and it has been revealed that popular group "Ae! group" member Sano Shoya and actress Kamishiraishi Moka will be the voice actors. A trailer has also been unveiled.

The film is a musical animation adaptation of Ishiishi Shinji's novel of the same name (Shinchosha). It is a love story about a young man named Giuseppe, nicknamed "the Toritsukare Otoko" by the townspeople for being obsessed with something and losing sight of everything else, who one day falls in love with a young girl named Pechika who sells balloons. Sano will play the role of Giuseppe, and Kamishiraishi will play the heroine Pechika.

Sano, who has appeared in films, TV dramas and musicals, and Kamishiraishi, who also works as an artist under the name "adieu," will be singing songs from the film. Atagi from the three-person band "Awesome City Club" will be composing five songs and some of the background music. The released trailer begins with Sano's line, "Who do you think I am?" and includes the film's song "Fanfare ~Falling in Love~," sung in perfect unison by Giuseppe and Pechika.

The full comments from Sano, Kamishiraishi, and Atagi are as follows:

◇Comment from Shoya Sano (role of Giuseppe)

I'm Shoya Sano, and I was captivated by Giuseppe. When I first saw the film, I was captivated by the warm animation, each frame hand-drawn, and the unique characters, and I was inspired by Giuseppe's pure and simple way of life.

This is a movie that will make you feel like the world around you looks clearer when you leave the theater. Don't miss this wonderful story that will pique your curiosity and the exciting music! Be captivated by this movie!

◇Comment from Moka Kamishiraishi (role of Pechika)

I'm Moka Kamishiraishi, and I played the role of Pechka. I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to take part in this production, which breathes new life into the fresh story that Shinji Ishii wrote over 20 years ago, and expands the world even further with the addition of vibrant colors and songs.

Pecca is a lonely girl who carries many burdens with her. Her frozen heart gradually thaws after meeting Giuseppe. I was reminded of the beauty of having genuine feelings of love for things and people in my heart. This is the kind of film that makes everything I see look beautiful after watching it. Be sure to experience it on the big screen!

◇Comment from atagi (music production) of Awesome City Club

I'm Atagi from Awesome City Club, and I was in charge of the music. I was a little nervous at first because I wasn't used to it, but as the storyboards were completed, the pictures started moving, and the piece became more and more three-dimensional, I was able to create the music and feel like I was part of the story.

I was truly happy to be able to compose the music as if guided by the work. Seeing the finished product, I was once again amazed by the expressions of Sano and Kamishiraishi. I felt their sincerity in every aspect of their singing and dialogue. This film is filled with the fun, cuteness, warmth, and strength of human life. I hope you will be excited to watch it.
