Rin音's new song "scenario" will serve as the theme song for the upcoming movie "Rewrite", set to premiere on June 13, 2025. A trailer featuring the song has also been released, providing a sneak peek into the film directed by Daigo Matsui and written by Makoto Ueda, which is based on the novel by Misaki Hojo.
The film "Rewrite" is notable for its intriguing narrative that intertwines time travel with a coming-of-age mystery. Eliza Ikeda stars as the lead character, Misora, while Amu Adachi takes on the role of Hotaru, a transfer student from 300 years in the future. The movie artfully portrays the intriguing dynamics of youth while addressing deeper themes of time and memory.
In her comments about the project, Rin音 expressed her delight in being associated with such a wonderful film: "I am incredibly happy to be involved as the theme song composer for such a beautiful work. The scenery of Onomichi depicted in the film is very breathtaking and somehow resonates with the landscapes I remember from my school days. For the lyrics, I projected myself directly into the world of "Rewrite" to write them. I aimed to craft the song with careful consideration, akin to turning the pages of a novel, focusing on every line, hoping viewers will enjoy it in the theater alongside the movie."
The plot of "Rewrite" revolves around Misora, a high school student whose summer is turned upside down when Hotaru arrives. His mysterious background unveils a fantastical element as he claims to have time-leaped from the future. Together, they unravel secrets that lead them to confront life-altering choices along with their friends.
Alongside Ikeda and Adachi, the cast boasts talented actors such as Sayu Kubota, Yuka Kuramochi, and Ai Hashimoto, who joins as a classmate named Tomoe. Hashimoto's character offers a slice of drama, saying in the trailer: "Unfortunately, Hotaru is not just yours alone," hinting at the deeper connections and conflicts that arise.
The anticipation for the film continues to build, particularly with the unique concept of intertwining romance with a complex plot involving time travel and emotional evolution. The trailer released recently illustrates this beautifully as it dives into the challenges Misora faces in reconciling her memories while forming an ambiguous relationship with Hotaru peppered with uncertainty.
The movie promises to be an exhilarating journey of nostalgia, youth, and existential inquiry, setting the stage for what many hope will become a memorable cinematic experience. Tickets for the film's premiere went on sale on March 21, 2025, priced at 1,600 yen, urging fans to secure their seats early. This backstory of the film along with the creativity embedded in Rin音’s track aims to bring a fresh perspective to the world of youth dramas.
As audiences await the film, they can expect a remarkable convergence of heartfelt storytelling and compelling music, embodied in the collaboration between Rin音 and the creative team behind "Rewrite."
With the release date just around the corner, excitement is palpable, and many look forward to witnessing how this fusion of narrative and music unfolds on the big screen.
The movie "Rewrite" is from Bandai Namco Filmworks and is based on the novel by Misaki Hojo. Set against the backdrop of youth and time travel, it endeavors to showcase the complexity of interpersonal relationships, personal growth, and the passage of time, resonating with audiences from all walks of life.
