Tokyo's Coolest Sound

A sequel to the popular cute stop-animation movie "Komaneko" (2006), featuring a cat who in turn created stop-animation, is coming in time for Christmas! The title translates to "Komaneko's Christmas: The Lost Present". The previous movie had no dialog, except for the cat's occasional "nyanya--".

This will be available on DVD next month, in a regular edition but also a limited edition containing a doll, original picture book and Christmas card. To get the limited edition it's advised to pre-order by November 19 (after which it will be up to each retailer's stock).

The movie will also be shown on the big screen at Shibuya Rise X from November 7 to December 4, as well as in other large cities in Japan durin November and December.
