"Toritsukare Otoko" ("The Absent-Minded Man"): Scenes with song contribution published

From the animated music film "Toritsukare Otoko," new film excerpts have been shared that show a scene with a sung song. The character Ciero, a mouse figure and companion of the protagonist Giuseppe, is voiced and sung by Hayato Kakizawa.

In the released sequences, Ciero is seen looking at the sleeping Giuseppe with a wistful gaze. Another shot shows the mouse standing alone in a surreal snowy landscape, performing a song with an emotionally charged voice that deals with his feelings for Giuseppe.

The singer Kakizawa stated that the song titled "Snowish" expresses the deep emotions and thoughts that Ciero holds for Giuseppe. The various moods of the character are reflected in the piece. Atagi from Awesome City Club, who is responsible for the composition, noted that the song, compared to others in the film, gets by with very few instruments. Precisely this simplicity emphasizes the quality of the singing, which Kakizawa has masterfully executed.

Additionally, scenes from the film were released that show the first encounter between Giuseppe and Ciero. In them, it can be seen how Giuseppe, portrayed by Shinya Sano, takes care of the still very young Ciero and learns the language of the mice in order to be able to converse with him. These sequences provide insight into the development of their relationship.

The film "Toritsukare Otoko," which will be released on November 7th, is based on a novel by Shinji Ishii. The musical animation production tells the love story of the young Giuseppe, who, due to his tendency to become so engrossed in things that he forgets everything else around him, bears the nickname "Absent-Minded Man." He falls hopelessly in love with a girl named Petica who sells balloons.
