The stop-motion animation series My Melody & Kuromi, featuring the globally popular Sanrio characters, is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on July 24. As fans of the duo know, My Melody is a straightforward and cheerful girl who does things her own way; while Kuromi, her self-proclaimed rival, may seem like a troublemaker, but actually has a girly side. In this original tale, these two polar opposites face a major incident that threatens the fate of Mariland, their home. The series will unfold over twelve 13-minute episodes, capturing the adventures and growth of these two adorable characters.
The newly released trailer showcases My Melody and Kuromis lively expressions as they go on a journey to save their hometown.

This series, filled with delightful cuteness, perfectly celebrates the 50th anniversary of My Melody and the 20th anniversary of Kuromi.
In Mariland, My Melody opens a bustling cake shop with her friends Flat and Piano, drawing in customers every day. Meanwhile, Kuromis Japanese sweets shop across the street is always empty, fueling her determination to beat My Melodys shop. One day, My Melody encounters a pink heart in the forest, which sets off a series of strange events in Mariland - and the two are suddenly faced with a crisis that threatens everyone. Can they protect their town and their friends?

It turns out they're big fans themselves! Kawaii (Prod. Gen Hoshino), part of the fearless quintet's upcoming 4th Japanese Single DIFFERENT as well as the theme song of My Melody & Kuromi, marks the first collaboration between LE SSERAFIM and Gen Hoshino, a driving force in pop music, who produced, composed, arranged and wrote the song. Hoshino wanted the song to capture the world of My Melody & Kuromi and the charm of LE SSERAFIM, reflecting the show's message about believing in yourself and being brave.
Group leader KIM CHAEWON, whom LE SSERFIM fans often say resembles My Melody, expressed her excitement: We really love My Melody and Kuromi, so we were thrilled to be chosen to sing the theme song! SAKURA, known among fans for her love of Kuromi, shares, "This song embodies the theme cuteness is strength.
