Full text of producer's comment
What kind of Digimon would you make for the 20th anniversary? I thought, "This is a difficult question.
The only thing I decided at first was to do a "theater version. At the time, I was simply thinking of the quality of the pictures and images. However, when you look at the meaning of "theater version," it has various connotations, such as entertainment concentrated in a single film, and even now, when I am not sure what to do, I naturally go back to it.　It is a major pillar to which I naturally turn when I am in doubt. What I want to say is that I want to keep the viewer glued to the screen for 90 minutes or so.
I want the audience to be glued to the screen for 90 minutes and go home saying, "Oh, that was fun! We are running toward that goal. That is what we are aiming for.
To those who have encountered Digimon over the past 20 years. And to those who are meeting Digimon for the first time.
We will deliver a story of bonding.
Yosuke Kinoshita, producer of "Digimon Adventure the Movie (tentative title)

■Digimon Adventure 20th Anniversary! Hatsune Miku collaboration decided!

The anime "Digimon Adventure," celebrating its 20th anniversary, and the virtual singer "Hatsune Miku" have decided to collaborate, and the collaboration visual has been unveiled.
The illustration was created by Atsuya Uki, a character designer for "Digimon Adventure tri.

＜Atsuya Uki's comment
Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of "Digimon Adventure!
This illustration was based on the image of the very first key visual of "tri." (children floating in the sky), and the order was to have Hatsune Miku and Agumon. To this I added Taichi's goggles and Digivice, the symbol of his bond with the Digimon, as well as a butterfly dancing in the air, reminiscent of the famous song "Butter-Fly".
The pattern of the butterfly's wings is slightly Digimon-esque, which is a key point.
