Kiki’s 2nd Trailer

In this trailer we get to see more of the live-action scene’s from Kiki’s Delivery Service.  Of course we see Kiki, played by Fuka Koshiba, and for the first time we get to see her companion Jiji, the black cat, voiced by Minako Kotobuki.  The background song is the theme song to the movie entitled “Wake Me Up” performed by Mai Kuraki.  The movie is set to be released in Japan on March 1 and then hopefully by the end of the year fans can purchase it for their collections.  Thanks to “maidigitv” for sharing the following trailer:
