Milan Records has announced that the main theme song for Studio Ponoc’s The Imaginary anime film titled “Nothing’s Impossible” is now available on several music streaming platforms. The film will premiere in Japan on December 15, 2023 and to audiences worldwide in 2024.
The song is performed by Grammy award winning duo A Great Big World and platinum selling singer-songwriter Rachel Platten and will play in the film’s end credits. The lyrics are written by A Great Big World members Ian Axel and Chad King, which consists of a moving piano melody, rousing orchestral strings, and soaring vocals from Axel and Rachel Platten.
Of the theme song, the film’s producer and Studio Ponoc founder Yoshiaki Nishimura says:
Several years ago I came across A Great Big World’s extraordinary song, ‘Say Something’, and was both transfixed and fascinated by Ian and Chad’s beautiful melodies and voices. Years later I was thrilled to have the chance to offer them the opportunity to create and perform the theme song for our new film, The Imaginary. Working closely with us,
A Great Big World skillfully conjured ‘Nothing’s Impossible’, a song that wraps Rudger’s life in warm, inspiring layers and expresses the joy of his heart. In a miraculous collaboration with the marvelous singer Rachel Platten, whose iconic ‘Fight Song’ has inspired millions around the globe, the life-affirming theme song weaves together the story of Rudger and Amanda, and of Rudger’s remarkable friends. I am deeply grateful to Ian, Chad and Rachel for the gift that is ‘Nothing’s Impossible’.
The Imaginary is based on A.F. Harrold and Emily Gravett‘s 2014 novel of the same name. Yoshiyuki Momose is serving as the film’s director.
Studio Ponoc describes the synopsis as:
The main character of The Imaginary is Rudger. Born from a young girl’s imagination, Rudger is a boy no one can see who lives in a world where imaginations can live and be eaten by others. The Imaginary is an extraordinarily touching and beautiful hand-drawn fantasy film in which Rudger and his new friends in “The Imaginaries Town” embark on an adventure no one can see at the risk of the futures and fates of those they love.
