About the poster collaboration visual
I'm so thrilled to see the illustrations on the live-action posters you've drawn!
Lovely illustrations, I'm glad you did! Thank you.
About the notice.
I'm happy to say that this trailer is full of developments that will attract people to watch it, as it depicts a turnaround from the happiness of not knowing anything but despair in a world full of lies.
I hope that you will come to see the film to find out how they find a ray of light in a world of despair and how they open up.
About the Theme Song
"I wish midnight lasted forever" I've been listening to the songs because I love his worldview, so it was reassuring to hear him do the theme song for "The Promised Neverland".
The theme song, "I Can't Get It Right," is Emma and her friends fighting against the environment itself. When I first heard it, I thought I had a clear picture of the world of the live-action Neverland movie I was promised.
I can't wait to see the movie that will be completed when the theme song is played at the end of the film. Thank you for the wonderful music.

The main trailer has been revealed from the anime film "Josee, the Tiger and the Fish"(to be released on Dec. 25), which is based on a youthful love story novel written by Tanabe Seiko.
Tt has also been revealed for the first time that Eve will perform an inserted song '心海' as well as the theme song. In addition, it has also been announced that Moriyama Shintarou and Lily, a comedy duo Mitorizu, joined as guest voice actors.
"Josee, the Tiger and the Fish" depicts a story about a dreamer Josee, who lives her life stuck in a wheelchair and spends most of her days reading and painting, encounters a college student Tsuneo, who pursues his dream, and decides it's time to face the real world with him.
The main trailer features the comic scene that Tsuneo is always given impossible demands and twisted around Josee's little finger. On the other hand, Tsuneo's line 'She is alone.' also tells the loneliness that Josee, who usually behaves selfishly, is feeling.
Josee is becoming depressed to see the words 'Dream is dream. Reality is reality.' and 'It's nothing but a superstition that dreams come true.', but Tsuneo takes her to see various worlds, saying 'You want to see by yourself, don't you?'
While an inserted song by Eve '心海', which has been revealed for the first time, is playing, Josee shows various expressions from crying, sulking, to struggling in the middle of the trailer, but at the end she shows a big smile. Does it imply their bright future?
It will make you more and more curious about the end.
