Weathering with You (天気の子, Tenki no Ko, literally "Child of Weather") is an upcoming Japanese animated film written and directed by Makoto Shinkai and produced by CoMix Wave Films, following the 2016 film Your Name. It is scheduled for release in Japan on July 19, 2019, starring Kotaro Daigo and Nana Mori.[2]

Plot

High school freshman Hodaka Morishima leaves his home on an isolated island and moves to Tokyo, but he immediately becomes broke. He lives his days in isolation, but finally finds a job as a writer for a shady occult magazine. After he starts his job, the weather has been rainy day after day. Then one day in a corner of the crowded and busy city, Hodaka meets a young girl named Hina Amano. Due to certain circumstances, Hina and her younger brother live together, but have a cheerful and sturdy life. This bright and strong­willed girl possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky.[2][5]

Casting

More than 2,000 people auditioned to voice the film's two protagonists, from which Kotaro Daigo and Nana Mori were eventually chosen. Other key roles are filled by returning crew members from Your Name.[10] On May 29, 2019, additional cast was announced: Shun Oguri (Keisuke Suga), Tsubasa Honda (Natsumi), Chieko Baisho (Tomi), Sakura Kiryuu (Nagisa Amano), Sei Hiraizumi (Yasui), Yuki Kaji (Takai)[11][5]

Voicing

The film's voice recording sessions began on April 27.[12]

Music

On August 26, 2017, Makoto Shinkai sent the script of the movie to Yojiro Noda for his opinions, before he received the song "Ai ni Dekiru Koto wa Mada Aru kai" (愛にできることはまだあるかい, "Is there still anything that love can do?") from Radwimps,[13] which is then used as a theme song in the film.[3][2][14] The theme song "Grand Escape" is to be performed by Toko Miura.[15][16]

Marketing

On December 13, 2018, a press conference was held to reveal the film, and announced that it would be released on July 19, 2019.[8] The first teaser trailer debuted on April 10, exactly 100 days before the premiere.[3] The second trailer was released on May 28.[5][17] Producer Genki Kawamura presented a work in process screening which opened to industry professionals and students but not the general public, on June 14 2019 at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France.[1][18]

Release

The film will be released in Japan on July 19, 2019. Shinkai has confirmed that the film will get a worldwide release, and releases have already been decided for North America, Europe, Asia, and South America.[2] In Asia, Edko Films announced that the film will be released in Hong Kong on August 8,[19] Encore Films announced that the film will be released in Singapore and Indonesia,[20] and Pioneer Films confirmed that they will release the movie in Philippines.[21][22] CJ CGV announced that the film will premiere in South Korea in October 2019.[23]

In English-speaking regions, GKIDS announced that they had acquired the North American rights to the film, and will screen an awards-qualifying run in 2019, followed by a theatrical release in early 2020, with Japanese and English language options.[24]

Novelization

A novel of the same name written by Makoto Shinkai himself is set to be published on July 18, 2019, one day before the film's debut.[25] Shinkai on April 30 announced that he has finished writing the book.[12][26]
