The theme of Mamoru Hosoda’s latest animated feature film Belle — millennium parade × Belle’s “U” — is set for international release in multiple languages.
Belle (original Japanese title: Ryu to Sobakasu no Hime, meaning “The Dragon and the Freckled Princess”) was released in Japanese theaters in July 2021 and became a box-office smash, grossing 6.5 billion yen. The movie is set to hit U.S. theaters on Jan. 14, and the English-language version of “U” will drop on major streaming platforms around the world excluding Japan as part of the BELLE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on the same day. The track will be released in Japan on Feb. 9.
