Hello everyone! I'm Saori from Otaku Republic!

Well then! A certain movie is finally released starting today! In Japan, it is a work that has drawn high attention even before the broadcast starts, with people saying 'It looks like it will become a hit exceeding the Kimetsu movie!'... Of course! I'm going to see it too~!

【Chiikawa】The movie is released starting today! Let's unravel the secrets of the Sirens hidden in a tropical island! The world pays attention to “Movie Chiikawa: Secret of the Mermaid Island”!

Unravel the “secret” of the attacking Sirens on the tropical island they visited! The movie version of Chiikawa, a character loved and given attention all over the world, starts broadcasting today!

Chiikawa... these are characters whose recognition and popularity have been rapidly rising over the past few years! With its movie version being released, it has become quite a hot topic in Japan! Advance tickets for theaters are selling quite well too, but there are also quite a large number of theaters where you can view it, so supply is keeping up with demand! It has become a quite amazing situation! The admission bonuses are pretty cute too!

To briefly explain the story, Chiikawa and friends usually spend time freely and carefree, or spend time doing weed pulling and simple exterminations. In the movie, after seeing an advertisement on a flyer, they decide to go to a tropical island! Welcomed by the islanders, Chiikawa and friends enjoy a brief moment of rest. However, that island apparently suffers attacks from Sirens frequently...? Why do Sirens attack the islanders? Will Chiikawa and friends be able to notice the secret hidden on the island...!?

Just how big of a hit will the movie become!? With a running time of 99 minutes, some fans even have sharp speculations...?

As for the reason why it is said “It might become as big a hit as Kimetsu!”, there are almost no grotesque scenes, the story concludes within the movie so there is little knowledge to study beforehand, the running time is moderate at 99 minutes, and the hurdle for children to watch is just super low!

Personally, I think elements perfectly suited for this time of year, like going to play on a tropical island with everyone—which feels like making summer vacation memories—are added to that! The running time is 99 minutes, but... from some fans, there is also the speculation that “the number 99 looks like an allusion to 'there is no going back/no time left’”. Just for whom is the screened story a narrative of 'there is no going back'? For people who don't know the story yet, please jump into the world of Chiikawa through this movie!
