The comments from Sakuma, Shibata, Ishikawa, and Honda have arrived. The animation movie "White Snake-YUAN-" will be released on July 30, 2021. Advance tickets coming with an original clear file will be available from April 30. 【Sakuma Daisuke】 This time we, Snow Man, will be singing the main theme song for the Japanese dubbed version of "White Snake-YUAN-". Personally, I will be starring in both acting and singing, and I am honored that I received such a wonderful offer. The theme song, "YUAN", uses the Chinese musical instrument called an erhu, and it enhances the world of China. Moreover, this music is evolves around the idea of "YUAN" (meaning "connection" in Chinese) and various phrases related to the movie were used. Also, I believe both Japanese and Chinese fans can enjoy this music because the song uses both Japanese and Chinese lyrics. I hope I can make the movie better through the theme song. Please enjoy the movie "White Snake-YUAN-" with the theme song. 【Shibata Hidekatsu, playing James Sie】 The legend of the white snake is one of the most famous stories in China, and at the same time, it became the basis of the god Benzaiten. I am honored that I can play an important role of the regional leader in the movie. Unluckily, we could not hold a recording session together with many other cast due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but I look forward to seeing the completed version since it has such a a high quality. 【Ishikawa Kaito, playing Dao Shi】 Since this movie is a wonderful opportunity to participate with many experienced actors, I, personally thought that I can learn many things from them as an actor. I was shocked to see such wonderful drawings and the story that made me so emotional. I know that this movie can be enjoyed both by adults and children, but I especially want adults to watch this movie. I think there is a message that only experienced adults can find, so please visit the theaters and feel that. 【Honda Takako, playing Karen Huie】 I was excited when I received an offer for this movie, which is the former story of heroine of the famous title, because I love Chinese fantasy. The music that gains your attention suddenly, a mysterious and fantastic scenery and background designs, and a respectable hero and heroine who faces a great fate...they are all the important factors of Chinese fantasy. Please come to the theaters and watch the movie. （C）Light Chaser Animation Studios（C）Bushiroad Move.（C）TEAM JOY CO., LTD.

“RON’S GONE WRONG (Ron Boku no Ponkotsu Bot)”, the first theatrical animated feature produced by an up-and-coming British animation studio Locksmith Animation, and distributed by The Walt Disney Company Japan will go on air nationwide on October 22th, 2021. Before its release, they have disclosed some new still pictures of Ron, a malfunctioning digitally connected device aka “B*Bot” and Barney, a friendless and lonely boy together. The two look adorable in every picture. “B*Bot” is the name of a modern, robot-looking device that plays a significant role in this film. You can do anything and everything with “B*Bot” such as surf the web, take photos, call someone, watch TV, play games, and listen to music. It even helps find a friend that best matches you. “B*Bot” is everyone’s dream put into reality. In the world of “RON‘S GONE WRONG (Ron Boku no Ponkotsu Bot)” everyone lives with this “B*Bot”. However, when lonely Barney orders for one, he receives a malfunctioning “B*Bot” named Ron. Ron takes an extremely long time to load, cannot access online, nor even search for Barney’s friend. Barney explains to Ron the “conditions” of people that he thinks he can be friends with and teaches him “how to make a friend”. As he spends his time with Ron, Barney gradually realizes that Ron has an extraordinary characteristic which the other “B*Bot” does not own. The recently disclosed still pictures point up Ron’s clumsy but adorable character. In one picture, Barney teaches Ron how to make a friend in front of a board that says “How to be my friend” without using any digital devices. Other pictures show Ron high-fiving with Barney or the two lying down on an open field. While there are pictures that show the two are getting closer, some of them are for you to laugh at Ron’s clumsiness. In one picture, Ron’s eyes are not in the position they are supposed to be, and in another one, he is dripping wet at the poolside. These pictures keep Ron’s image away from a high-tech, robot-looking device of the latest model. In the era of communication through SNS, how would Ron and Barney develop their friendship while communicating with each other face-to-face? “RON’S GONE WRONG (Ron Boku no Ponkotsu Bot)” will be released on October 22th, 2021. “RON’S GONE WRONG (Ron Boku no Ponkotsu Bot)” Released on October 22th (Fri) Original Title: RON’S GONE WRONG Director: Jean-Philippe Vine, Sarah Smith Producer: Locksmith Animation Distributor: The Walt Disney Company Japan （C）2021 20th Century Studios.
