Comments on the production decision
■ Original: Tsukasa Hojo
Thank you for waiting for the new work.I am deeply moved to tell everyone about this day, which is exactly 35 years since the first episode of the anime. It has been decided that "Get Wild" will also be used for the ending.
I can't tell you the details yet, but this new work is likely to have a different taste and lid from the previous one.I hope you are looking forward to it.
■ Ryo Saeba: Akira Kamiya
I was happy when I heard the news.The eternal hero, Ryo Saeba, is back.I want to make a wonderful work that does not disappoint, such as story and music.
"Don't make me wait. You called me!"
■ TM NETWORK: Tetsuya Komuro
"Get Wild" wouldn't have been possible without "City Hunter".
I thought again that a long-selling hit song that has been loved for 35 years cannot be made no matter how much you aim. "Get Wild" is already like a "person".Thank you.
We are looking forward to the latest work of "City Hunter".
Please look forward to the future development of the new "City Hunter the Movie"!
