I was surprised that the story centering on Jungle Pocket and his friends would be depicted in the first theatrical version of Uma Musume, but I am very happy about it. I am looking forward to seeing how powerful the racing scenes will be on the big screen in the theater, and I did my best during the recording to express Pokke's drive to be the strongest.
Thanks to all the trainers who support and love Uma Musume, it will finally become a theater version! I believe that this film is also a very hot story. I hope you will witness the story of Pokke and her friends on the big screen in the theater. Thank you very much!

The happiness of realizing dreams and goals, the happiness of supporting others, the happiness that can be born anew even in a life where dreams are broken and life goes on...
The world of Uma Musume is filled with the blessing of moving toward the future.
We hope to keep the charm of Uma Musume as it is and deliver it as a full-length anime, which is a new challenge for us.
We hope that those who watch it will gain even a little bit of zest for life.
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy it with gleeful laughter and gahaha.

Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the racehorses that served as models for the characters and to the people who supported them.
