'Suzume's Lockdown' is the story of a girl named 'Suzume' who accidentally opens a door that causes disaster and desperately tries to close it to prevent disasters occurring throughout Japan.
Since its release, the film has maintained its top spot at the box office every day thanks to rave reviews from audiences, while the OST, which adds to the emotion of the film, is also attracting attention. Audience members are not only creating playlists of all 'Suzume's Door Breaking' songs, but also uploading and sharing OST cover videos to share the lingering feelings that continue even after the movie ends.
The song at the center of the topic is 'Haruka Kanata', written and composed by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS, who collaborated with director Makoto Shinkai for the third time following 'Your Name' and 'Child of the Weather'.カナタハルカ) and 'Suzume' (すずめ).
'Suzume' captured the hearts of many people by featuring singer Toaka, maximizing the fantasy of the movie with a dreamy atmosphere.
Audiences are responding enthusiastically to the OST, and various versions of cover videos are also appearing one after another, attracting attention. In addition, he is showing off his generous affection for the OST of 'Suzume's Lockdown' by directly translating the song into Korean and singing it with lyrics.
What is noteworthy is that these popular songs are not inserted into the play, but appear after the movie ends. Unlike previous works, 'Suzume's Lockdown' did not insert an OST with lyrics in the play to compete with the power of the story, but instead put more effort into the BGM. For example, the fun of the movie was doubled by bringing back memories by inserting popular songs from the 70s and 80s. These are the songs that the main character 'Suzume' listens to while traveling with her aunt 'Tamaki' and 'Sota's best friend 'Serizawa'.
Director Makoto Shinkai revealed that the reason he chose very famous pop songs and memorable songs was "because I wanted to show that movies and reality are actually connected," adding to the fun of finding hidden points in the movie.
