Miharu then begins working at Santa Claus House, a mysterious company at the North Pole that delivers gifts to children around the world.  

    Comment from Eve

    "I’m incredibly honored because I loved both the original manga and Fukuda's past works. I wrote this song Shirayuki with the hope that Christmas could be an important day for everyone. I would be so glad if this song makes you nostalgic for winter, making you imagine the cold air that stings your nose and the stars in the clear night sky. I love Kunehito, so I am looking forward to seeing him in the film."   ©︎2022「ブラックナイトパレード」製作委員会 ©︎中村光/集英社
