The
official website for the film Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: A Lonely
Dragon Wants to Be Loved surprised fans with the release of a special
video starring Kanna Kamui, where she performs her own
version of the ending theme song "Bokutachi no Hibi" (Our
Days).
In this new
version, Kanna's sweet and serene voice (played by Maria
Naganawa) replaces the original interpretation of the renowned enka
singer Sachiko Kobayashi. The video clip features a compilation of
endearing scenes from Kanna from both the anime and the film, offering a dose
of nostalgia that has moved the fan community.
A
musical tribute that touches the heart
This
special version of the song is included in the album "Complete
Musical Works", released in Japan on June 27. The CD
compiles the most outstanding pieces of music from the franchise, including
songs from the original series and the recent film. The album cover was also
revealed alongside the video, highlighting the emotional and artistic focus of
this musical compilation.
The film
continues its international tour
After the
success of its two seasons in 2017 and 2021, the
feature film Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: A Lonely Dragon Wants to Be
Loved arrived in Japanese theaters on June 27, managing to
position itself in ninth place in its first weekend of

Crunchyroll has acquired the worldwide

Both

following official synopsis of the film:
The
quiet lives of Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, and Iruru are cut short when Kamun
Kamui, Kanna's father and leader of the Forces of Chaos, appears to force her
to return to the Dragon World and right a wrong from the past.
With a
war looming between Chaos and Harmony, Kanna must find a way to unite the two
worlds, torn between loyalty to her friends and her father's demands. Miss
Kobayashi, however, is unwilling to let her go and struggles to repair the
broken bond between Kanna and Kamui.
As the
dragons collide, Iruru discovers a hidden force manipulating the conflict. Will
they manage to stop the war before it destroys both worlds?
The
premiere of the special video with Kanna has been enthusiastically received by
fans, who highlight the emotional and symbolic charge of her performance. One
more detail that reaffirms the affection that the franchise continues to arouse
around the world.
