The live-action 5 Centimeters Per Second film has received a new trailer, another teaser, and two new teaser visuals.
The trailers play Masayoshi Yamazaki‘s 1997 song “One more time, One more chance,” which was used as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s original 5 Centimeters Per Second anime film. While not the theme song of the live-action adaptation, it will be used within the film, and this version has the title “One more time, One more chance ~Gekijouyou Jissha Eiga ‘Byousoku 5 Centimeter’ Remaster~.”
A number of new cast announcements were also made. Among them are Nana Mori as Kanae Sumida, the high schoolmate of protagonist Takaki Tonoo, Yuzu Aoki as the high school-aged Takaki, and Mai Kiryuu as Takaki’s colleague Risa Mizuno.
The live-action 5 Centimeters Per Second will open in Japan on October 10 JST. Shinkai’s 63-minute anime film was released in 2007 and told its story across three chapters, beginning in the 1990s and ending in the 21st century. Netflix describes the anime’s premise as:
Inseparable fourth-graders Takaki Tonoo and Akari Shinohara – bonded by a love of books – begin to slowly drift apart when their families relocate.
The anime has inspired a novelization from Shinkai, a manga, and the novel 5 Centimeters Per Second: One More Side, which depicts the viewpoint of Akari.
