After the huge success of Your Name. from 2016, anime film director Makoto Shinkai and Japanese rock band RADWIMPS once again collaborated for Shinkai’s upcoming anime film Tenki no Ko:Weathering With You.
The anime movie is scheduled for
release on July 2019 and is one of the highly anticipated anime project of the
year, obviously because it is from Makoto Shinkai – director who’s famous for
delivering heavily colored-contrast visuals in his works which really looks appealing,
magical, and breathtaking. Meanwhile, RADWIMPS is popularly known by Shinkai fans
as the band and composer of the soundtrack from Your Name. – currently the
highest grossing anime film of all time surpassing Studio Ghibli’s
award-winning Spirited Away in 2017. Personally, I really like how magical and
heartfelt the songs of RADWIMPS is and it somehow peculiar to hear it from a
rock band but RADWIMPS definitely brought the Japanese music to larger audience
with their amazing music on Your Name. among my favourites were Zen Zen Zense,
Nandemonaiya, and Sparkle.
Weathering With You anime is scheduled
to premiere in Japan on July 19, 2019 and is confirmed to get a worldwide
release. In a recently unveiled teaser trailer for Weathering With You, RADWIMPS’
new song "Ai ni Dekiru Koto wa Mada Aru Kai" had been revealed.
Weather Child: Weathering With
You tagline and synopsis are as follows
"This is the story of the world's secret that only she and I know."
In the film's story, high school
student Hodaka leaves his home on an isolated island and moves to Tokyo, but he
immediately becomes broke. He lives his days in isolation, but finally finds a
job as a writer for a shady occult magazine. After he starts his job, the
weather has been rainy day after day. In a corner of the crowded and busy city,
Hodaka meets a young woman named Hina. Due to certain circumstances, Hina and
her younger brother live together, but have a cheerful and sturdy life. Hina
also has a certain power: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky.
