SKE48 will sing the theme song for the anime film "Pripara: Minna no Aspiration♪ Let's Go Pripari," which will be released on March 12.

Prepara" is a TV animation based on a popular amusement game for girls. Following the TV series and the movie version, "Pripara" will be released in October 2015 as the first 3D animation series, In October 2015, the first 3D movie "Tobidasuru Pripara Minna de Mezase! In March 12, 2016, the animated movie "Pripara: Minna no Aspiration♪ Let's Go Pripari" will be released.

The movie is also attracting attention because Mrs. Davy and former AKB48 member Rina Kawae will appear as guest voice actors, and the theme song has been chosen: SKE48's latest single "Chicken Line" (released March 30). The theme song sung by SKE48 will be included in the film. Chicken LINE" is SKE48's 19th single, seven months after their last single "Maemori" (released last August). Except for their own documentary film "Idol no Nami: DOCUMENTARY of SKE48", this is the first movie tie-up song for SKE48.

The reason for the use of the song was explained by the producer: "The main characters are girls who aim to become god idols. We chose SKE48 from a number of candidates because we thought that someone who is active as a top idol and who would be the object of children's admiration would be the most suitable for the role. SKE48 in particular has a self-proclaimed Pripara fan, Akeon Takayanagi, who is also a member of SKE48, so we felt a connection with her and offered her the role. She commented, "I felt a connection with her, so I made the offer. Below are comments from the members.

How do you feel about the theme song tie-up?
　Harina Matsui: Most of the fans who support SKE48 are male, but I'm glad that the theme song for "Pripara the Movie" will give us more opportunities to be heard by girls and people of the same gender.
　Akine Takayanagi: I am a Pripara fan, so I was very happy. I think idols have an image of being cute, but there are also cool characters like Zion (the character's name). The theme song has such a cool image, so I hope people will feel a new aspect of SKE48.
　Rakuraku Goto: It's a song that becomes a habit after listening to it a few times. The "Pripara movie" changes its contents every week, so I would be happy if you could watch the movie every time the course changes and listen to and remember SKE's theme song as well.
Comments on the costumes
　Matsui (wearing Raara's costume): It's pink, frilly, fluffy, and very girly, so I thought, "What should I do...! I thought, "What am I going to do...! （I don't wear cute clothes or costumes, so the Raara costume is a little embarrassing, but it's a new feeling for me.
　Takayanagi (wearing Dorothy's costume): (I played the role of Megae Aoi in "Live Musical Prepara" held in February, but I couldn't wear the character's costume then, so I'm very happy to wear the Prepara costume I always wanted to wear. I'm so happy to wear the Pripara costume I've always wanted to wear. I'm going to brag to Shibuya-san (who plays Dorothy). (Laughs)
　Goto (wearing Sofie's costume): I usually wear rough clothes, so it was refreshing to wear adult-like clothes. Sofie is a popular idol who has been respected since the beginning, so I hope I can get close to her. (Laughs)
(Laughs) ・Message to Pripara fans and girls who aspire to become idols
　Matsui: There are many things that have changed and are good about being an idol, but I really enjoy having more opportunities to communicate with many people. I was very happy when I received a letter from a fan for the first time. I was also very happy when I received my first letter from a fan. It makes me very happy to hear that someone likes me, and after seeing a live performance, they tell me that I can start working hard again tomorrow.
　Takayanagi: I am usually shy and feel embarrassed to go out in public, and I feel the same way as the girls in Pripara. But when I stand in front of people as an idol, I feel like I can change myself. I am sure that anyone can change, so I encourage you to cherish the feeling of "wanting to be one," and do your best to achieve your goal.
　Goto: Like Laara-chan, at first I thought "I can't be an idol..." But when I took the plunge, I really enjoyed it and met a new me. I think it is especially fun for those who love to sing and dance. I think there are things you don't realize until you try them, so I encourage you to give it a try.
About Kawae-san's voice-acting role
　 Matsui:I was very surprised when I first heard about it! Her personality is not like the cute girl in "Pripara," but rather more of a savage one. But she seems to like cute outfits, and the pink fluffy outfit she wore for her graduation looked great on her. I hope Kawae will wear a cute outfit for her character as well, since cute costumes are one of the highlights of "Prepara!
　 Takayanagi:As a Pripara fan, I also wanted to be in the show! But I was able to calm down because I got to sing the theme song. (Laughs)
