The official X account for Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W.: Run Through the Metropolis! (踊る大捜査線 N.E.W. メトロポリスを駆け抜けろ！) has sent shockwaves through the anime community with the announcement of four iconic voice actors joining the cast of the upcoming film.
The movie, which follows a brand-new chapter for protagonist Aoshima Shunsaku, is set to open in Japanese theaters on Friday, September 18, 2026.
Four Voice Acting Legends Take on Top Police Agency Roles
On August 10, the film’s official X account posted a photo showing all four voice actors dressed in police uniforms, along with their character roles in the “National Police Agency Round Table” (警察庁会議・円卓) — a high-level decision-making council that will feature prominently in the story:
- Tachiki Fumihiko (立木文彦) — as the Commissioner General (長官)
- Tsuda Kenjiro (津田健次郎) — as the Deputy Commissioner General (次長)
- Seki Tomokazu (関智一) — as the Superintendent Supervisor (副総監)
- Nojima Kenji (野島健児) — as the Director of the Commissioner General’s Secretariat (長官官房長)
The post noted that the four will “grace the world of Odoru with their magnificent voices.”
Fans React with Shock and Excitement on X
The announcement quickly went viral, with fans flooding the replies with reactions ranging from pure disbelief to enthusiastic praise:
“The vocal pressure is immense!” / “!?!?!?” / “What an incredible lineup…” / “My ears are going to be so happy!!” / “Nojiken is in this too?!!” / “This is insane…”
Some fans also made playful references to the voice actors’ most famous roles — particularly joking that having Tachiki Fumihiko as Commissioner General might trigger some kind of grand scheme, a nod to his iconic roles in other well-known anime.
The Voice Actors Share Their Thoughts
Tsuda Kenjiro posted on his personal X account: “I will be appearing in Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W.: Run Through the Metropolis! Please do come and watch~”
Nojima Kenji kept it heartfelt and simple: “I’m happy. Endlessly so.”
Tachiki Fumihiko wrote: “I play the Commissioner General, the top of the executive ranks. Everything will go according to the Round Table of Odoru… no need to worry. You can watch it as many times as you like. That’s what N.E.W. is for.”
Seki Tomokazu expressed his joy with: “I’m genuinely so happy! Thank you so much!”
Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W.: Run Through the Metropolis! opens in Japan on September 18, 2026.
