On December 27, 2019, the feature film Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion: Mirai kara Kita Shinsoku no A L F A-X (新幹線変形ロボ シンカリオン 未来からきた神速のＡＬＦＡ-Ｘ) will premiere in Japanese theaters! The hit anime series that it’s based on is also popular among VOCALOID fans for featuring the Hatsune Miku collaboration character, “Hatsune Miku” (whose surname is written as 発音 instead of 初音, but still pronounced the same way).
What will get those VOCALOID fans excited is the confirmation that “Hatsune Miku” will not only appear in the upcoming film, but there will also be a live performance scene with her!
During the performance scene, she will sing the franchise’s theme song “Change! Shinkalion” (チェンジ！シンカリオン). What’s more, it’s been revealed that the design for that outfit that she will wear during the performance was designed by Rella, the famous Miku artist known for illustrating many official Miku art for collaborations and merchandise! And what’s more, the individual in charge of arrangement for the Hatsune Miku version of the song is none other than Mitchie M, the producer known worldwide for their incredibly realistic VOCALOID-tuning skills! The film creators no doubt knew how to draw in VOCALOID fans to go see the movie!
Commenting on the film, Saki Fujita says in the press report announcement:
“When I first heard that Shinkalion was becoming a movie, I was at once surprised and incredibly excited at the chance watch their intense battles on the big screen. Furthermore, the film will be set in Hokkaido! It warmed my heart to know that the story will be unfolding in this land that is so near and dear to Miku. During the scene where Miku will be singing ‘Change! Shinkalion,’ she’ll be sounding like her own cute self! I hope that it’ll prove to be a scene that everyone can watch and get excited about together!
“This film will be filled with surprises that will surely please fans, who only need to wait a little longer now. I hope everyone looks forward to them all with baited breath!”
