Legends Join 'The World is Dancing' Cast; Iconic VAs to Perform Insert Songs

Hold the mic! The upcoming musical anime, The World is Dancing, just unveiled a new music trailer, and it's a masterclass in casting. Industry legends Yōji Matsuda, known for iconic roles like Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke, and the incredibly versatile Miyuki Sawashiro (Fujiko Mine, Lupin the 3rd) are officially joining the voice cast. This signals serious intent from the production.

But the surprises don't stop there. Veteran voice actresses Yumiri Hanamori (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War) and Romi Park (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) aren't just lending their voices to characters; they're stepping up to perform original insert songs. Both are prolific VAs, so this dual role showcases their impressive vocal range beyond typical character work. The World is Dancing is shaping up to be an auditory feast, clearly prioritizing top-tier talent both on and off the stage.
