The first thing that struck me after watching “Mononoke Movie: Karakasa” was that the unique sense of color, which was wonderful.
Aina The End
I have a worldview like this with a sense of color that I don’t have in my drawer! The surprises continued and I really like it.
This song emphasizes Japanese taste, and is called “Love Sick,” which means “sweet sickness” in Japanese.
This is a song that I tried out myself, so I hope you enjoy listening to it.
And I sincerely hope that I can add some brilliance to “Mononoke the Movie: Karagasa.”
I’m looking forward to the release!
Please look forward to future updates!

The comments from the voice actors Kana Hanazawa, Yuko Kaida, and Yukana are also released:
Kitagawa is a senior maid in Ooku, whom Asa admires.
Kana Hanazawa (Kitagawa)
What will she protect and what will she abandon in her life in the organization called Ooku?
I think, the “dryness” in Kitagawa’s heart is a feeling that could happen to any person.
I hope it reaches the hearts of those who are working hard on something in loneliness!
The unique tempo, use of color, camera work, fascinating characters, use of sound, and story.
Yuko Kaida (Awashima)
I am very happy to get a role in the world of “Mononoke”, which I was excited to see.
Awashima is a representative of Ooku. Although she coldly instructs the newcomers to abandon their past, but he is at the mercy of Asa and his friends and shows various human expressions.
Look forward to seeing what changes it will make
2006. When I first became involved with “Mononoke”, there was an air of confusion at the dubbing scene.
Yukana (Mugitani)
I felt a strong desire to create footage that has never been seen before.
A long time has passed, and I am now able to be involved in this world again as Mugitani. I would like to witness all the things that have changed and those that have remained the same…….

“In feudal Japan, evil spirits known as mononoke plague both households and the countryside. Only one person has the power to kill them where they stand: the Medicine Seller.

Armed with sharp wit, he wanders from place to place striking down the evil spirits in his wake.“
