VIDEO: AKB48 "Wreck-It-Ralph" Theme Preview - UPDATED

Disney picks AKB48 for soundtrack to video game inspired CG movie

Disney's upcoming CG animated Wreck-It Ralph is the story of an arcade game villain who is inspired to turn over a new leaf after meeting a cute girl character named Vanellope von Schweetz in cart racing game Sugar Rush. While Japanese marketing is being tailored to that region, with plenty of attention paid to the moe sidekick, to the extent that the movie is being relabeled Sugar Rush, the whole world will get to hear Japanese pop sensation AKB48 featured performing the theme song to candy coated fictional game.

 

 

versus the American version

 

UPDATE - video replaced with unrestricted version

So Japan wants a racing game and the US wants a shooter. Makes sense to me.
Not available to watch in 'Merica. Shame...
It let me watch it twice now its saying that its not available in my country.....
So they get a cute song before the preview and we get the green rating screen.
It's called Sugar Rush in Japan?
Yes because they are focusing more on the racing game that Ralph visits and the girl from that game
Top video:
