New movie ``Sing for Me, Lyle''

``Sing for Me, Lyle'' is a fantasy musical presented by the music staff of ``The Greatest Showman'' (17). In the Japanese dubbed version, Hiroshi Oizumi plays the role of the main character, Lyle the Crocodile. The performance, which was completely expressed through singing without any lines, was a masterpiece. The role of <Hector> was played by Kanji Ishimaru, and the role of <Mrs. Prim> was played by Nana Mizuki, creating a luxurious Japanese dubbed version that rivals the original. We spoke to Yoichi Ichinose, who directed the Japanese dubbed version of the cast's songs.

Released in movie theaters nationwide on Friday, March 24th Distributor: Sony Pictures Entertainment
