Akiwashi's "Living in a World Without Magic" Music Video Becomes Anime Film
The anime world is once again witnessing an exciting development at the intersection of music and visual arts. Kasagi Labo has announced that they are developing an anime film project based on independent musician Akiwashi's viral music video "Living in a World Without Magic". It is reported that the project is set with an international distribution goal.
"Living in a World Without Magic" gained great attention as a short animated video accompanying Akiwashi's song of the same name released in 2023. The video's mesmerizing visuals and melancholic story reached millions of views, especially on social media, catching the attention of anime fans. Akiwashi, previously known as an artist with a similar indie style, aims to reach a wider audience with this project.
In a statement regarding this project, Kasagi Labo said, "We are very excited to bring this world created by Akiwashi to the cinema screen. We will share more details about the film's production stages soon." Although the release date has not yet been announced, considering the studio's previous independent animation works, the film is expected to be a high-quality production.
This development stands out as part of the recent trend of adapting popular music videos into anime. Following examples like Eve's "Kaikai Kitan", such independent projects bring a new breath to the anime industry. While fans eagerly await the chance to experience Akiwashi's world on the big screen, new details to be announced by Kasagi Labo in the coming months are being followed with curiosity.
