The 5 Centimeters Per Second live-action film has received a new trailer that previews its Kenshi Yonezu theme song, “1991.”

The 90-second trailer also takes the time to show more of its multi-year-spanning story, taking us to 1991, 1997, and 2009 before ending with its recreation of the original anime’s memorable train crossing ending.

5 Centimeters Per Second will premiere on October 10 JST in Japan. The original anime film from Your Name‘s Makoto Shinkai came out in 2007. Netflix describes the premise of the 63-minute anime 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.
