Belle‘s New Music Video Takes Us on a Sumptuous Tour of a Digital World

Ahead ofBelle ’s Japanese release this week ( and its premiere at Cannes),our late lookatMamoru Hosoda ’s follow - up to Mirai comes in the form of a euphony video for the film ’s practical pop - graven image protagonist — and gives us some more glimpse of its trenchant phantasy world .

“ U ” is performed by Millennium Parade and Kaho Nakamura , the interpreter of Belle in the film . Which make sense , as the film follows Nipponese high schooler Suzu , who hightail it her rural life sentence to spend her costless time in an on-line world where she masquerades as Belle , becoming a smash striking Isaac Bashevis Singer in the process .

It ’s a snazzy song , but the master appeal of the music video is to get a feel inside the humans of U , where Suzu and billions of other people across the humans transform into dazzling practical avatars of all shapes and size . And they ’re not all well-disposed , as Belle discovers , when she encounter a mysterious brute - same creature , armies of mysterious masked sci - fi warriors , and more . It aboveboard count unbelievable — the demarcation between the glint effects of the virtual world and the traditional aesthetics we see in glimpses of Suzu ’s normal liveliness is rather something to behold .

Belle finds her beast.

And we ’ll have to expect a little while to behold it ourselves — while Belle expel in Japan tomorrow , it wo n’t be out in the U.S. until later this year , after GKids recently announce it had acquired distribution rights to the movie . The film , which features character designs from Tangled , Frozen , and Moana designer Jin Kim , as well asWolfwalker ’s Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart — plus a soundtrack not just from Millennium Parade but Death Stranding ’s Ludvig Forssell — will get in in the U.S. in belated 2021 .
