Thiswas the second time Yamashita produced a song for Mamoru Hosoda since his 2009 film "Summer Wars". Moreover, this was the first time he produced two songs for a movie/drama. Both songs are later included in his 2022 album Softly containing new mixes.

"Mirai no Theme" uses an up-tempo pop tune suitable for the opening of the movie.[1] Meanwhile, The ending theme, "Uta no Kisha" has a bright and sad tune, which is suitable for ending the movie.[2] In addition, a live version of the theme song "Bokura no Natsu no Yume" from the animated movie "Summer Wars" was included in the single.[3]


Mirai Suenaga is the site mascot character for Culture Japan (dannychoo.com). Theme was created with illustrations made by Tazuki Iizuki. Theme made by Crosse (sakuraindex.jp)This is an updated version of my old Mirai theme posted originally at Danny Choo's website.I have cleaned the code, and also added a few extras:+Added BG elements+Added Frame texture+Added additional descriptive text at attribution block+Added app icons for added recognitionWill be posting this on DA, DC, CT, and on my site.If you have any questions regarding this theme, send us feedback via this store or via cro...@sakuraindex.jp. For IP, branding, Mirai, Danny Choo or stormtrooping, head over to his website at ----Also Posted on: -goods/browser-themes/chrome-theme-mirai-suenaga-version-2/


a common thread in the themes of my films: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was about youth, Summer Wars was about family, Wolf Children, Ame and Yuki were about motherhood. The Boy and The Beast was about the father, and my new film is about the relationship between brothers and sisters. Mirai is about a boy who is trying to reclaim the love of his parents.


According to the director, each individual is the fruit of his own family. It may seem obvious, especially if we consider only the sociological aspect of the concept, for example when a child is born and grows up in an unhealthy or disadvantaged family environment, he certainly has a higher probability of becoming an outcast, a misfit, in adulthood. But this is not the point of reflection that the author wants to bring to his audience.


Another important scene in Mirai is the one in which Kun meets his mother when she was the same age. Once again Hosoda wants to push his protagonist to become aware of the fact that his mother has not always been his mother. Parents are not born, they are made.


There are countless conflicts between parents and children caused by this lack of conscience. In fact, many teenagers see their parents as adults, beings without empathy, who cannot in any way understand their problems and needs. On this topic you could write endless pages of pedagogy, but since I am not an expert on the subject, much less this is the most appropriate place, I will limit myself to describing what the author wants to express about it.


It should not be forgotten that Hosoda made Mirai mainly for his children. A message to tell them when they are older that he too was a child, that he was not born a parent, that he is not an infallible superhero, much less a despot, but a simple human being exactly like them. For this reason the author hopes and prays his children to understand him and forgive him if in the future they are ever hurt in any way by him.


The house as a mirror of the people who live there. We choose the house in which to live, we furnish it, choose accessories, paintings, etc. Each house is one of a kind, just like every family. Obviously Hosoda, by placing an architect as a character, wants to take the concept to extremes with the aim of enhancing it.


The city in which Hosoda places the aforementioned house also hides a meaning. Mirai is in fact set in Yokohama, a choice that seems to leave the time it finds given that the film takes place almost entirely in a house. The meaning is symbolic, and it is always the director who affirms it in the interview with Paste Magazine:


Mirai is not set in Toyoma but rather in Yokohama, which is a port city that was one of the first cities to be modernized because of its contact with the West. I chose Yokohama, a city that is constantly changing, because Mirai is a story about how a family can change but always remains itself.


The song, titled Mirai Start (ミライスタート), is placed after cold open in the Japanese version. It is sung by Suzuko Mimori who also voices Pinkie Pie in the Japanese version.[1]


Tomaranai dokidoki wa hajimari no aizu

Sarigenaku mitsumetara mimi ga atsuku naru no yo

Hajimete no wakuwaku ni tomadoi no merodi

Watashi kara koe kakeru chansu ga hoshikute

Hōkago no hirusagari futoshita gūzen ga

Anata to watashi no mirai o kaeru?

Oshiete nē oshiete!


My nonstop pounding heart is the first sign

When I casually stare (at you) my ears start burning

When the excitement starts, the melody of my heart causes me to lose my bearings

I want the chance to risk talking to you

Out and about after school unexpectedly I got the chance

Could this change our future?

Tell me! Hey, come on and tell me!


Tomaranai dokidoki wa hajimari no aizu

Sarigenaku mitsumetara mimi ga atsuku naru no yo

Hajimete no wakuwaku ni tomadoi no merodi

Watashi kara koe kakeru chansu ga hoshikute

Hōkago no hirusagari futoshita gūzen ga

Anata to watashi no mirai o kaeru?

Oshiete nee oshiete!


This pounding in my heart is the first sign

Just brushing it off makes me feel funny

There's a bewildering melody to my excitement

I want a chance to call out to you

After school I ran into you by chance

Could this change our future?

Tell me! Tell me please!


Oikakeru tokimeki ga kyō mo tanoshii no

Hohoemi ga afure dasu kitai fukuramu kokoro

Taisetsuna kirameki o dakishimeru mainichi

Watashi ni mo dekiru ka na koi e no charenji

Soyokaze no kaerimichi naranda shunkan ni

Anata to watashi no mirai sutāto?

Oshiete saa oshiete!


Thrill chasing is fun today

My heart that you swell with hope and smiles overflows

Everyday embraces an important sparkle

Any challenge to find love would wonder if I am able to do so as well

At the moment when my way home lined up with the breeze

Could this be the future starting with you and me?

Tell me! Come on tell me!


On March 26, 2014, Silent Siren announced on their official Twitter[4] that they would be providing the fourth opening theme titled Lucky Girl (ラッキーガール). This new opening theme is used for the rebroadcast of the Japanese version's episodes during its "Best Selection" run, and it reused the footage used for the first opening theme in the first two episodes.


Starting with the season two premiere The Return of Harmony Part 1, the second ending theme for the Japanese version is step by step by Suzu. Video-wise, it is the exact same as the previous ending theme; only the song is different.


Beginning with The Cutie Pox, a different version of the theme song is used, which replaces the visuals completely, and updates the clips to be from season two. Only the visuals are changed; the song remains the same.


A slightly updated version is used beginning with Sweet and Elite. Before that point, the text used in the credits sequence is white with a black outline, but after that point, it becomes black with a white outline. The text for the next episode preview is unaffected by this; it is still white with a black outline.


After 2 years of construction, the newest park outside of Osaka, Japan: Mirai Park, opened just in time for the summer season. The park mainly has several rides that were relocated from the now defunct Six Flags Cypress Adventures.


The park was off to a great start, being a big hit with the guests, but what was noticeable was the lack of themeing in some areas of the park. Officials of Mirai Park announced that they weren't done with the park yet and it will have a lot more themeing by 2009.


Since 2016, a partnership, called MIRAI, has been in operation between Swedish and Japanese universities. Next year marks the start of a new period for the MIRAI partnership with more Swedish and Japanese universities involved in research, education and innovation collaboration. Recently, the next step was discussed at a meeting in Stockholm.


Chances for continued development

In November, a concluding seminar for the 2016 MIRAI was arranged in Stockholm, which also led to the start of a new partnership involving more universities and areas. The seminar theme was "Moving together towards a sustainable future" and the aim of continued project is to extend cooperation between Swedish and Japanese universities in education, research and innovation.


The MIRAI 2.0 AI Thematic Expert Group plans to hold workshops this year in May and October. There is a possibility that the work done will be continued/developed further during MIRAI 2.0 R&I Week 2023 in Ume. The purpose of this meeting is to decide on themes for these workshops and to begin outlining the content and format.


The meeting is open to all researchers at MIRAI 2.0 member universities. No sign-up is needed. We value your input and participation in this planning process and look forward to hearing your ideas. For more details, please check the following website.
