I was excited to see Sonic again after so long.
When I looked at his face, I felt a surge of energy, as if the free time I had during that time was a lie!
I was happy to see that Sonic, like a “blue flame”, continued to burn silently towards that time inside of me.
I’ve had a great time with both of these works so far.
During this recording, my love for Sonic only grew stronger.
I want everyone to discover many new faces of Sonic! Look forward to it!
It is an honor to appear in the popular Sonic series.
I am very happy with emotions to be able to play the role of that dark hero, Shadow!
Keanu Reeves is the voice of Shadow in the subtitled version!
I always do his Japanese dubs,
It was fun being the voice actor for the same character!
I hope you enjoy “Keanu Shadow” and “Morikawa Shadow” as well as the subtitled and dubbed versions.
Tomoyuki Morikawa as Shadow
This time, the story is set in Japan, so there were a lot of scenes where I thought, “I know this place!” and I was excited and proud to watch it from the moment we shot it.
Please pay attention to the activities of Knuckles, who became a member of the family by shortening the emotional distance with Sonic and the others!
I’m really happy to be able to enjoy the Sonic world on the big screen again.
I was excited to be able to be part of Team Sonic in this episode while playing Tails.
Tokyo appears on the stage, so when I left the studio at the end of the recording, I felt like I was being blown by a huge wind, and I was excited and I thought, “Oh, maybe Sonic just passed by!’ ’
Come see Sonic running through the city he knows. We are waiting for you.
You announced your retirement when your last film was released.
I was horrified because dubbing you is one of my reasons for living. But you came back!
It is the best! And he even plays the role of grandpa! Isn’t it total Jim Carrey?
It was difficult to dub the dialogue between them, but it was a really fun time as a voice actor.
Don’t say you are retiring, please continue to entertain us with your unique performances.
At least until I stop being a voice actor.
Sincerely,
the third work!
I’m really happy that this development shows how popular Sonic is.
This work is as full of “sonic love” as the previous ones,
I was able to keep that feeling until the end of the finale.
There is so much BGM, direction, and even the smallest details, so I hope you get them all!
And Robotnik! Stronger than ever! I think he is a good character after all!
Sonic fans, please look forward to it!
Even if you don’t, please watch and enjoy Sonic World!
Of course the characters that have been seen so far, Shadow is finally seen.
The Sonic family has become very vibrant, and I’m happy that our bonds are deeper and we can fight while trusting each other.
Tom and Maddie will be taking part in the operation in an unusual way this time, but we hope you are looking forward to seeing what they will be up to.
Please enjoy the heated battle between Sonic and Robotnik to the fullest in this work!
Sonic Team in Tokyo! And of course…? Will Team Robotnik invade Japan too? !
Everyone who supports the Sonic movie series. The development of this work is so amazing that you feel numb.
If you have time to worry, watch it! Agent stone evolved with goat’s milk in hand…
We look forward to seeing you at the theater! Enjoy the world of Sonic with your family, friends, and lover.
The Sonic series I continue to support as a fan.
Of course, I was always looking forward to the film.
I was very happy to hear that I would be able to take part in the dubbing this time.
The movie version of Sonic has a lot of cute moves and it’s awesome!
Sonic was a nice and respectful person all his life,
I’d say he gives the impression of a cute little brother in the movie version…
…Later, I was surprised when I saw the cover of the incense disc. Is Maria that Maria…?
A new game for my favorite hedgehog was recently released and it was very popular, and this year, in the Shadow Year, a giant shadow was shown at a game show, a costume was made, a mini-anime was created with great content, and a manga series was published. A black final life form that looks a lot like Sonic, who is confirmed to play an active role in the movie from the trailer.
The favorite girl with the shadow of the Hedgehog: Maria? ? ? ? ?
There is a world line in Japan that becomes the vocal chords of Oshi no Oshi…?
I was surprised by the seriousness of the story, but I was also excited about Shadow.
Even though I’m panicking in my head, I’m tough! Steady! Twice! Keep it from happening,
Rest assured that we have worked hard!
The shadow in the movie is also attractive! Of course, cute Sonic is still alive!
Be sure to watch their cool and adorable performance in theaters!
