From U. Blog on Nov. 16th, 2010~According to the mobile version of EMI Japan?s website, Utada?s ?Show Me Love (Not A Dream)? will be used as the theme song to the upcoming Yamashita Tomohisa (NEWS) film, ?Ashita no Joe.? The movie is based off of a popular boxing manga, and is set to be released on February 11th, 2011. According to EMI Japan, Recochoku Chaku-Uta and Chaku-Uta full downloads will begin in a few hours, at 5AM Japan time on the 17th. Other Chaku-Uta and PC downloads will begin on the 24th of November, the release date of Utada?s ?Single Collection Vol. 2.?~

This is so cool especially since she hasn't had a tie-in with any movies since 2007's "Beautiful World" w/ the new Rebuild of Evangelion Tetralogy and before that only "Be My Last" in the Spring Snow adaptation! I haven't read it completely yet, but "Ashita No Joe" is definitely one of the pioneer classics of the Manga phenomenon, and one of the best ever in terms of plot, art, and Post-World War 2 cultural significance in Japan. It'll be fascinating to see how well this affects SCV2's sales in the short-term and overall, as well as how well Yamashita "Yamapi" Tomohisa (who has a curiously emphatic similarity to the protagonist Joe) and the rest of movie crew adapt it to the big screen! I have faith since he's a much more skilled actor than musician IMHO ...

Utada's never been one to skimp on last-minute suprises, Chaku-Uta Ringtone and Full Downloads begin in afew hours @ 5 a.m. on the 17th in Japan with all other Recochoku and PC-related downloads to begin the 24th when SCV2 hits the shelves...Keep in your prayers and hopes the possibility of a PV for it since this is the fan favorite from this release!
