[Tokyograph News]

Production I.G.'s animated short, "Tokyo Marble Chocolate," is premiering at a special screening on the 27th as part of the ongoing Tokyo International Film Festival. Details about the film were made public on Tuesday, including an announcement that songs by hip-hop artist SEAMO and pop duo Sukima Switch are being used as themes for the movie.

"Tokyo Marble Chocolate" is set in the near future in a Tokyo where two towers stand tall above the rest of the buildings. It tells a love story between a young boy named Yuta and a young girl named Chizuru, depicting their first Christmas together.

The film is made of two episodes, each from the point of view of one of the protagonists. Chizuru's side is titled "Mata Aimashou" after the SEAMO song, while Yuta's side is titled "Zenryoku Shonen" after the Sukima Switch song.

Both artists make special appearances in the film. SEAMO plays the voice of one of Chizuru's senpais at the cafe where she works, while the Sukima Switch members play a pair of employees at a pet shop that Yuta is connected to. This is SEAMO's first time as a voice actor.

"Tokyo Marble Chocolate" is being released on DVD on December 19. Two trailers have been posted on the movie's website.
