posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
The Crayon Shin-chan franchise announced on April 3 that it is collaborating with the Coca-Cola Japan's Yakan no Mugicha (Evening Barley Tea) brand for a series of “short movies," starting on April 9.
The first three episodes launched on April 9, and two more episodes are slated for April 21. Shinnosuke “Shin-chan” Nohara is played by Fumiya Takahashi, his father Hiroshi Nohara by Taizō Harada, and his mother Misae Nohara by Kumiko Asō.
The first three shorts follow a 25-year-old Shin-chan, 55-year-old Hiroshi, and 49-year-old Misae as they message each other about their respective days. The first episode sees Shin-chan working at an Action Kamen show. The second follows Hiroshi during a short work break, and the third sees Misae's decluttering the Nohara house.
As of press time, the cast and featured characters for the fourth and fifth episodes of the live-action Crayon Shin-chan short movie series have not been announced. However, it is more than likely the episodes will feature Shin-chan's younger sister Himawari Nohara and pet dog, Shiro, respectively.
