“Make a Girl” – Gensho Yasuda’s first feature-length film reveals trailer, key visual and title song

The debut feature film "Make a Girl" by animation artist Gensho Yasuda has released its main trailer, key visual, and the artist of the title song, further heightening anticipation for its theatrical release.

The trailer begins with a heartwarming scene featuring "Kanojo" Model 0, a scientifically created companion, holding hands with her creator, Akira Mizutame, a young genius. Their seemingly perfect life takes a dramatic turn when Model 0 asks, "Why do I love Akira, anyway?" This moment marks the beginning of a dark twist, enhanced by action sequences and mysterious elements. Keywords like "Third Humanity" and the appearance of a hooded figure ramp up the tension. Additionally, scenes where Model 0's eye color changes and she exhibits violent tendencies offer a deeper glimpse into the complex story.

The key visual depicts the silhouette of Model 0, containing both Akira and herself. This design symbolizes the memories and experiences that shape her being. Akira’s cheerful expression contrasts with Model 0’s introspective posture, reflecting the central themes of identity and human connection.

The film’s title song, "Hanaboshi" (Flower Star), is performed by singer-songwriter Eve. The song, heard in the trailer, captures the emotional and philosophical themes of the story.

Voice actors include Atsumi Tanezaki as Model 0 and Shun Horie as Akira Mizutame. "Make a Girl" will premiere in Japanese theaters on January 31, 2025.
