Staff Sings Theme Song to “Expelled from Paradise”! Making-of & Acapella Version of the Trending Video Also Releases

Expelled from Paradise, which was released on Nov. 15, continues to be a hit. Though it’s been roughly a month since the release, audiences are still flocking to theaters. So much so that additional screenings have been announced: Shibuya Toei beginning on Dec. 20, T-Joy Soga beginning on Dec. 27, and T-Joy Oizumi beginning on Jan. 3.

A video uploaded to YouTube in which the staff sing together the theme song “Eonian” is also trending. It was officially uploaded on Dec. 5, and in a week since has surpassed 13,000 views. Additionally, a continuation that includes a making of the original video called “Eonian (Utattemita: Making-of & Acapella Ver.)” was also subsequently released on Dec. 10. This as well is a must-see.

The “Utattemita: Staff Ver.” video begins in black and white. Alone, director Seiji Mizushima begins to sing “Eonian” and walk around the studio. Thereupon, one by one, the staff members join in and before long the video changes to color. The actual artist behind the theme song, Elisa, joins in at the end to sing the chorus for a dramatic finish.

The “Utattemita: Making of & Acapella Ver.” includes footage from the video shoot along with a look behind the scenes. Elisa advises the staff, and it’s nice to be able to hear the song in acapella.


The official Expelled from Paradise YouTube Channel is promoting the appeal of the movie through various means including making-of videos released to date, English trailers, and more. This video project is but another means, and the cooperation between the director and the staff is quite immense. The strong love toward the film from the staff makes the video what it is.

The popularity of the film is also spreading to related merchandise. Merchandise for the film, including theater pamphlets and the already on sale Blu-ray and DVD, is so popular that sales exceeded initial expectations and manufacturing must increase, which shows that high regard for the series has spread.

The theme song “Eonian” sung by Elisa released on Nov. 12 is yet another way through which the series’ popularity has spread. This trending song isn’t just a theme song, it appears to be an important key to the movie as well.
