Comments regarding the production decision

■Original work: Tsukasa Hojo

Thank you for waiting for the new product. I am deeply moved to be able to tell you this on this day, which marks exactly 35 years since the first episode of the anime. It has been decided that "Get Wild" will also be used as the ending. I can't talk about the content yet, but it looks like this new release will be completely different from the last one. I would be happy if you could look forward to it.

■Ryo Saeba: Akira Kamiya

I was happy when I heard the news. The eternal hero, the cool Ryo-chan is back. I want to make a wonderful work that doesn't disappoint in terms of story, music, etc. "You kept me waiting. You were the one who called me!"

■TM NETWORK: Tetsuya Komuro

“Get Wild” would not have been possible without “City Hunter.” I realized once again that no matter how hard I try, I can't create a long-selling hit song that has been loved for 35 years. “Get Wild” is already like a “person”. That's a blessing. I'm looking forward to the latest "City Hunter" work. Please look forward to the future development of the new movie “City Hunter the Movie”!
