It has been decided that Ruki RUKI will voice the main character, You, in the new sci-fi feature-length animated film "AS ONE," a new era gift from the powerful team of director Kobun Shizuno and character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, which will be released on Friday, August 22, 2025.

This work was originally produced based on the arcade game "Paradox of Stars and Wings." It follows the setting and worldview of the original work, and is a completely original story created by the production team and screenwriters based on Director Shizuno's concept.

【story】

Modern-day Earth. Yo, a high school student aspiring to be a musician, is troubled by his parents' opposition and the relationships with his bandmates, and is unable to decide on his future. One day, as Yo is walking through a Shibuya crossing, he hears a voice in his head screaming "Help!" and is enveloped in a white light.

Meanwhile, there is a traveling star floating in space.

Just as a mediation ceremony was about to be held to end hostilities between the Kingdom of V-Redsei and the nation of Todorokia Slegga, which had been in a long state of war over the energy source "Star Blood," a giant piece of orbital debris fell, and Vigo of the Pulguard team desperately tried to deal with it.

In order to save Vigo, robot mechanic Laco takes off in a plane that is still being maintained, but finds himself in a critical situation.

After a momentary flash, Laco's badly damaged plane is able to move the debris to the sea surface and survive, but Laco loses consciousness.

While in a coma, Lako encounters You in her mind.

What is the meaning behind Yoh and Lako's meeting, and what destiny awaits them as one?

[Comment from Ruki RUKI]

My name is Shiraiwa RUKI I will be playing the main character, You, in "AS ONE".

I heard that you saw my work "Himawari" and said, "I think you're a good fit for the main character,"

I was very surprised, but I was also really happy because I love watching anime.

Before my appearance was announced, I had seen the information about the production released and was nervous to see how many people were looking forward to it.

But more than that, it made me determined to make an absolute good piece of work.

Although this was my first time trying voice acting, I was able to do my best thanks to the support of those around me.

It's an interesting story that I myself have been drawn into no matter how many times I read it. Please look forward to its release.
