OT: "Yamato" in Japan cinemas in December

I hope OT topics are allowed on this board.

Here the link to the Japanese language WM and RM trailers of the upcoming military spectacle "Otoko-tachi no Yamato" with fitting J-pop soundtrack.

And some information on this giant battleship sunk on a kamikaze mission near Okinawa in the spring of 1945.

Should hit movie theatres countrywide December 17th. The sound clips in the trailer sound fairly "patriotic" so maybe this flick will provoke controversy in China, Korea and elsewhere.

Could make for an interesting distraction for Christmas/New Year Tokyo and Japan travellers especially if it becomes something of a symbol for Japanese "neo-revisionism".
