Ruki Shiroiwa Makes Voice Acting Debut in 'As One, Square Enix' Anime Prequel to Starwing Paradox
In a new special video released on Wednesday, the crew of ' As One , Square Enix,' and 'Sunrise' in a feature-length theatrical prequel anime film to Square Enix's Starwing Paradox game revealed that JO1 boy group member Ruki Shiroiwa has been cast as the main character, Yō. Shiroiwa is making his voice-acting debut. After listening to 'Himawari' (Sunflower), the song he wrote and composed himself and released as the fourth single from his self-produced project 'PlanJ,' the staff decided to cast him. Set twenty years before the game's plot, the movie will tell an entirely original tale. The main character of the movie is Yō, a high school student who is losing touch with his bandmates and whose parents disapprove of his aspirations to pursue a career in music. One day, he is surrounded by a bright light and hears a voice in his head pleading for assistance. In another scene, two nations that have been at war for a long time over energy sources start an uncomfortable truce in a world called Meguriboshi. As a massive piece of space debris approaches the planet, robot mechanic Rako loses consciousness and contacts Yō while unconscious. Further, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion, Nadia—The Secret of Blue Water, Summer Wars) returns from the game to design the characters for the film, which is directed by Kobun Shizuno (Detective Conan films 15–21). Scriptwriters Shatner Nishida (Lupin III: Prison of the Past), Kana Matsui, and Masaya Honda (Boruto: Naruto Next Generations); mechanical designer Ippei Gyōbu (Gundam: Reconguista in G, Synduality), and more form the team of the movie. On August 22, the movie will be released in theaters.
