Comments
Original story: Tsukasa Hojo
Thank you for waiting for the new movie. It has been 35 years since the first episode of the anime, and I am deeply moved to be able to tell you about it. It has been decided that "Get Wild" will be used for the ending.
I can't tell you about the contents yet, but this new work will be different from the last one. I would be happy if you could look forward to it.

Akira Kamiya as Akira Saeba
I was very happy when I heard the news. The eternal hero, the good looking Akira returns. I hope the story, music, and other aspects of the film will be as wonderful as you expect.
I'm sure you've been waiting a long time. You're the one who called me!"

Get Wild" would not have been created without "City Hunter.
I realized once again that you can't create a long-selling hit song that people will love for 35 years, no matter how hard you try. Get Wild" is like a "person. I am grateful for that.
I am looking forward to the latest "City Hunter" film.
