The anime film adaptation of The Obsessed (known in Japanese as Toritsukareotoko ) hits cinemas in Japan next weekend on November 7. In the run-up to the romantic musical's premiere, the film released a matching pair of music videos for its theme song, "Fanfare." The first features the insert version of the song, titled "Fanfare ~Koi no Ukarete~" and performed by Giuseppe (voiced by male idol group Ae! Group member Masaya Sano) and Pechika (voiced by actor and singer Moka Kamishiraishi). The second uses the version performed by Awesome City Club, who also penned both versions of the theme.

Wataru Takahashi, known for his directorial works for the Crayon Shin-chan films (22nd, 24th, 26th, and 29th), serves as director on a screenplay by Naoyuki Miura. Masatsugu Arakawa designs the characters, and Shin-Ei Animation works on anime production. Shinji Ishii's original Toritsukareotoko novel was published by Billiken Shuppan in 2001 and was later published in a bunko edition by Shinchosha in 2006. TIFF describes the story as such: Giuseppe jumps from obsession to obsession ― singing, embroidery, private investigation ― until he meets Pechka, a quiet balloon seller. For the first time, he wants to stay, and in trying to brighten her world, he discovers a passion worth holding onto. Source : Bandai Namco Filmworks YouTube Channel ( 1 , 2 )
