It’s part interview, part music video, all fantastic.
Earlier today, the Space Battleship Yamato 2202 anime film franchise’s official website updated with a new trailer for upcoming sixth film Space Battleship 2202: Warriors of Love: Kaisei-hen (Regeneration Chapter). The three-minute teaser previews the film’s theme song, Koichi Yamadera’s Ōinaru wa (Great Sum). The song is played against a short interview with Yamadera, who discusses his role as theme song performer.
Space Battleship 2202: Warriors of Love: Kaisei-hen will screen in 35 theaters across Japan on November 2.
The fifth film, Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love: Rengoku-hen opened in Japanese theaters on May 25. Seven films are currently planned in the saga, which tells the tale of the Yamato after its safe arrival at Iscandar.
