A new news article has been posted!
The theme song for the upcoming Pokémon movie "Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution" has been announced. News website Sports Hochi reports:
On the 5th, it was revealed that singer Sahiko Kobayashi (65) and singer and TV personality Shoko Nakagawa (33) have teamed up and will sing "Kaze to issho ni" (to be released July 10th), the theme song for the latest entry in the "Pocket Monsters the Movie" series "Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution" (premieres the 12th the same month).
This movie is a CG remake in full 3D of the very first movie in the series, "Pocket Monsters the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back" (1998), which was the highest grossing animated movie that year with its total gross of 7.8 billion yen. That movie's ending theme song was "Kaze to issho ni", sung by Kobayashi. And now, 21 years later, Kobayashi and Nakagawa will sing a new version of the song together, arranged by music producer Seiji Kameda (54).
Kobayashi, who sang the very same Kaze to issho ni 21 years ago, commented "Being able to depict the wonderful world of Pokémon with this song makes me feel very happy. I put my whole heart into this song so that both the adults that heard this song as children and today's children will be filled with warm thoughts when they hear it." And Nakagawa, who was 12 years old at the time the song was released, commented "Even after becoming an adult, I've walked hand in hand with my memories. Pokémon has given me a "miracle far beyond my dreams" by having me reach both today's and future children through song. I put a lot of affection into this song as I sang with with Kobayashi-san, whom I greatly admire."
