The trailer and key visual for the Netflix series "Rilakkuma and the Amusement Park" have been released. In addition, the theme song will be "Pocket no Naka" by Kururi, who will participate in the film as they did in the previous film. As additional cast members, Takayuki Yamada, who will continue to play the role of Hayate, and Rena Ueda, who will play a new character, were also announced. Rilakkuma to Amusement Park" is a new stop-motion animation based on "Rilakkuma," following "Rilakkuma to Kaoru-san," which was exclusively released in 2019. The previous film depicted the heartwarming cohabitation between office worker Kaoru-san and Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, and Kiiroitori, who somehow came to live in her house, but this new film has a more fast-paced feel. The new film depicts a day in the life of Kaoru and Rilakkuma, who go to a fun-filled amusement park to play, but somehow get caught up in a series of mysterious happenings. The trailer released this time shows the adorable Rilakkumas enjoying the attractions at the bustling amusement park and the Rilakkumas getting caught up in one happening after another. The film is full of unexpected developments, such as a car chase with an employee's sister, or getting lost in a game world with Emily, a girl who aspires to become a world-class professional gamer. However, no matter how much trouble she gets into, Rilakkuma naturally heals those around her at her own pace. Both children and adults are sure to be cheered up by the sight of Rilakkuma, who is always there for them and always makes them smile. The music that accompanies this heartwarming story is the relaxing theme song "Inside My Pocket" by Kururi, a rock band that continues its journey while being influenced by a variety of music from the past, present, and future. Rilakkuma's gentleness is combined with the soothing sounds of Kururi, gently enveloping the viewer's emotions with both the eyes and ears.
