FRUITS ZIPPER member Noel Hayase will have a cameo appearance in the US original and Japanese versions of the latest Disney Pixar film Elio, opening August 1.
This film tells the story of Elio, a loner who does not fit in anywhere and believes that “there must be a place for me somewhere other than here.” He then meets a lonely alien boy named Glordon and discovers what really matters.
To commemorate the film’s release, a special dance performance video featuring Noel Hayase and FRUITS ZIPPER members Suzuka Chinzei, Yui Sakurai, and Mana Manaka, along with Naomi Watanabe, who plays the role of Ova, the passionate leader who watches over the main character’s adventures, has been released. The ‘Kawaii Alien Dance’ is performed to the song CO-Kosei, which resonates with the film’s message and affirms people’s unique personalities.
