A new trailer for the anime film Kagami no Kojō (Lonely Castle in the Mirror) has been released on the official website. The two-minute video offers a preview of the song "Merry-Go-Round," performed by singer Yūri, which serves as the film's theme song. The adaptation of Mizuki Tsujimura's novel will hit Japanese theaters on December 23.
Kagami no Kojō is a novel by Mizuki Tsujimura that tells the story of seven teenagers who travel into a mysterious world beyond mirrors. It was published in Japan in May 2017 by Poplar Publishing. In 2017, the work ranked first in the Kadokawa Da Vinci magazine's Book of the Year poll and won the Japan Booksellers' Award in 2018. In 2019, the novel inspired a manga adaptation of the same name by Tomo Taketomi, serialized in Shueisha's Ultra Jump magazine. The series concluded on February 19, 2022, spanning a total of 5 compiled volumes.
In a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo, seven teenagers wake up to find the mirrors in their rooms glowing. With a single touch, they are whisked away from their lonely lives into a wondrous castle with spiral staircases, watchful portraits, and sparkling chandeliers. In this new refuge, they must uncover a series of clues leading to a hidden room where one of them will have a wish granted. But there's a catch: if they don't leave the castle by five o'clock, they will be punished.
