The anime feature film Anthem of the Heart – Beautiful Word Beautiful World is coming out later this week in Japan and that means the big, final push towards promoting it is underway with a pair of new TV spots having now arrived for it. The work comes from the team behind the AnoHana project with Taktsuyuki Nagai directing it based on the story with Mari Okada and character designs by Masayoshi Tanaka. The nearly two-minute promo gives us a listen to the theme song from Nogizaka46, which arrives towards the end of October as a single.
The cast for the feature includes:
- Inori Minase as Jun Naruse
- Kouki Uchiyama as Takumi Sakagami
- Sora Amamiya as Natsuki Nido
- Yoshimasa Hosoya as Daiki Tazaki
There’s still little in the way of details about it but the trailer is definitely a beautiful piece of work that’s to be expected considering the team involved with it.
The film is scheduled for a September 19th, 2015 debut in Japan. Aniplex USA will be bringing it out for a limited theatrical release in North America and then a home video release.

Since this traumatic experience, Jun lives in the shadows away from the limelight. But, one day she is nominated to become an executive member of the “community outreach council.” On top of that, Jun is also appointed to play the main lead in their musical…
