King of Prism -Your Endless Call- Anime Film's Teaser Announces New Cast

The official website for the King of Prism -Your Endless Call- Miinna Kirameki! Prism☆Tours film, the latest work in the King of Prism anime franchise, revealed its teaser trailer, story, and new cast member on Wednesday. The video also reveals and previews a new song titled "Lovepara! -Endless Love,Love-" performed by the SePTENTRION unit.

Japanese model and actor Satsuki Nakayama will voice the new character Ai Kannazuki, a mysterious young man sent from the Prism World as the final messenger, with the order to eliminate Louis.

The film's story is set a few months after the "PRISM.1" tournament, when Shin Ichijo performed without any recollection, and gave his fans the performance he had always wanted to do at "Rose Party," but Shin is still left with a gloomy feeling. To cheer him up, other members of the SePTENTRION unit invited Shin to get into a secretly developed time machine, and go back to the time when the seven of them performed for the first time, the "Dear Crown Christmas Live" concert. The group gets a blast touring other past Prism Shows, including shows performed by the legendary "Big Three."

The film's staff also revealed that characters from the Idol Time PriPara and Pretty Rhythm anime series will appear in the film.

In addition to the cast reprising roles, Masakazu Hishida returns for the new film as chief director at Tatsunoko Productions and is also credited as Jou Aoba for the script. Other franchise veterans in the staff include character designer Mai Matsuura; series guest character designers Shōji Hara, Hisashi Kawashima, Rie Saitou, Hajime Mitsuda, and Sayaka Toda; CG director Yoshihiro Otobe; original Prism Jump designer Daisuke Katō; and composer Rei Ishizuka. Nobuto Kojima is directing the sound, and Avex Film Labels is distributing.
