Theme Song Decided as Saucy Dog's "Spice"! Full Trailer and Main Poster Revealed for the anime film "Eiga Crayon Shin-chan Chō Karei! Shakunetsu no Kasukabe Dancers"

The main poster visual is also revealed at the same time! In line with the tagline, "Awaken your Indian power!", the poster depicts Shinnosuke jumping in an Indian-style costume, the Kasukabe Defense Force dancing in colorful outfits through an Indian cityscape, and the Nohara family striking distinctive poses as if unleashing their latent abilities.

In contrast to the smiles on the faces of Shinnosuke and his friends, the poster also shows Bo-chan, having become the tyrant "Bo-kun," with a sharp-eyed glare and a purple cape fluttering as he holds the "Sugoi Cube." The visual highlights the sense of a glamorous world filled with singing, dancing, and laughter in India, as well as the inner turmoil of Bo-chan, who is consumed by desire after having a piece of paper stuck in his nose.

Theme Song "Spice" Written by Saucy Dog’s Shinya Ishihara—“Another Shin-chan”!
Director Hashimoto Endorses: “A Song That Leaves a Deep and Warm Impression”

It has been decided that the theme song for this film will be "Spice" by Saucy Dog! Written especially for the movie, "Spice" showcases Saucy Dog’s signature relatable lyrics and melodies and is a gentle yet powerful song about never forgetting the "excitement" of one's childhood dreams and hopes as you move through life.

It’s also noteworthy that the vocalist of Saucy Dog, Shinya Ishihara, shares the nickname "Shin-chan"! An incredible “Shin-chan” dream collaboration has come to life. Ishihara, a lifelong fan of "Crayon Shin-chan," says, "As a child, ordinary days were immensely fun, and no matter what the future brings, I want to live my life without forgetting that sense of excitement—those feelings are what went into writing 'Spice.'"

Director Masakazu Hashimoto shares that he entrusted Saucy Dog with composing the theme song "based on their own sensibilities," saying, "I wanted to ensure that the film’s ending would leave the impression that the children's stories continue beyond what we see. I have always felt that a 'Crayon Shin-chan' story should end with the sense that it 'continues'. I thus entrusted these thoughts to Saucy Dog." Regarding "Spice," he gives it his full endorsement: "The lyrics and gentle melody closely align with the film’s themes, making it a truly wonderful song that leaves a deep and warm afterglow."

"I repeatedly listened to the song while expanding my imagination and created the visuals for the film’s ending. I hope that viewers can fully immerse themselves in this piece along with the lingering emotions of the 'Crayon Shin-chan' story in theaters," says the director. "Spice" will surely heat up this summer hand-in-hand with the anime film "Eiga Crayon Shin-chan."
