Japanese Elements in Baymax ♡
Baymax (Big Hero 6) is a Disney animated feature film released in 2014. It is based on Marvel's comic book series "Big Hero 6."
The protagonists are Baymax, a robot created to heal hearts and bodies, and Hiro, a genius boy of mixed Japanese and Caucasian heritage.
The warm story depicts the bond between the two as they connect and collaborate with their friends, each utilizing their unique abilities, reflecting themes of friendship and family love ♡
The setting is San Fransokyo, a futuristic fictional city that blends elements of Japan and San Francisco.
The film is filled with Japanese elements, such as Tokyo scenery and Japanese signage, which contributed to its massive success, achieving an impressive box office revenue of approximately 9.2 billion yen ♩
(When limited to Disney films, it ranks second after Frozen!)
Baymax, who has neither the desire nor the ability to fight, but is simply gentle and kind, quickly became a popular new symbol of healing ♡
Many people might remember being emotionally moved by the bond between the genius boy and the still-young and cute Hiro upon its release...!
By the way...
Baymax, who can only be greeted at Disney World in Florida, attracts countless people from around the world who come to hug him ♡
It’s a place I want to visit someday ♩
The Theme Song and Insertion Song Are Truly Masterpieces!
Unlike other Disney movies, Baymax does not feature a musical element, such as singing midway...
But because of this, the insertion and theme songs that play at key moments stand out prominently in the film,
"It's really cool!"
"The atmosphere fits perfectly; it makes me cry!"
"This is a masterpiece."
They have received such praise ♡
Here are two songs to introduce*
Insertion Song "Immortals" / Fall Out Boy
First, the insertion song is "Immortals," a track written for Baymax by the American rock band Fall Out Boy.
The key highlight is its incredibly cool up-tempo melody! ♡
"Immortals" translates literally to "the immortals."
It carries the message that "You and I are immortal," perfect for representing the relationship between Baymax and Hiro.
If played during a wedding entrance, it would definitely get the crowd excited ♩
Theme Song "Story" / AI
The theme song is "Story" by AI, which everyone knows ♡. It's a grand ballad themed around love.
The chorus, "You’re not alone, because you protect me," sends chills down my spine. Just listening to it can uplift you, motivate you, and make you realize the significance of important people in your life ♩
It applies to various forms of love, such as friendship, family, and romantic love, making it perfect for wedding background music.
If played during the exit scene or credits, there's no doubt it would evoke strong emotions.
