Part of the "Ultra Seven IF Story '55 Years in the Future'", which is being produced as a concept movie for the 55th anniversary of "Ultra Seven", began to be distributed today, ahead of the release of the completed version this fall.

More than half a century after its broadcast, "Ultra Seven" still remains in people's memories and is passed down from generation to generation.
The story that connects the present and the future 55 years ago is imagined as an "If Story," an episode that "may have existed" as part of the series when it was broadcast in 1967, and depicts "how it happened.
This "7-minute" concept movie was planned in order to question the message contained in the original story to the present day, and to convey the appeal of "Ultra Seven" with its universal theme not only to the fans of the series, but also to people of today.


In this movie, "Moroboshi Dan" (played by Koji Moritsugu) and "Anne Tomozato" (played by Yuriko Hishimi), the main characters of "Ultra Seven" broadcast in 1967, appear beyond time and space using the latest digital technology "Virtual Human". As in the original film, Koji Moritsugu plays the role of "Satsuma Jiro," which is also a highlight of the event.

Various official contents are planned to be developed in conjunction with the film in the future, including an "interactive mystery-solving event" (*details below). We can look forward to the release of the completed version in the fall of this year.
