The official website for the anime film Fushigi no Kuni de Alice to -Dive in Wonderland- (With Alice in Wonderland -Dive in Wonderland-) has begun streaming a special music video for its theme song, “Zukan” (Guidebook), performed by SEKAI NO OWARI. This film is notably described by its staff as Japan’s first anime film adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s novel, Alice in Wonderland.
Special Music Video Details
The newly released music video for “Zukan” was produced by P.A. Works, the same studio animating the film. The video incorporates footage from the anime, offering a visual preview alongside the theme song. While the special music video is now streaming, some reports indicate that there may be issues with direct playback, suggesting users might need to enable JavaScript or try watching on platforms like YouTube. Previously, a promotional video released in June 2025 also spotlighted the theme song and select scenes from the film, along with glimpses of the cast in the voice booth.
