The highly anticipated sequel to Disney’s 2016 animated hit "Moana", titled "Moana 2", is set to release in Japan on December 6. Ahead of its debut, a new scene showcasing the powerful and soulful Japanese rendition of the song "Get Lost!", performed by voice actress Sonim, has been unveiled.

A Magical Polynesian Adventure Continues

Inspired by Polynesian mythology and breathtaking island landscapes, the "Moana" series has won fans worldwide with its stunning animation, compelling story, and unforgettable music.

In "Moana 2", three years have passed since the first film. Moana, now 19, embraces her destiny as a once-in-a-millennium "Tautai" (Navigator) tasked with uniting the seas and finding lost peoples across distant islands. Her journey takes a dramatic turn when she uncovers the legend of the Storm God, a force of destruction and division. To break the curse, Moana teams up with the shape-shifting demigod Maui and new allies for a voyage to restore balance to the world.

Record-Breaking Global Box Office

Released in the United States on November 27, "Moana 2" has already set monumental records:

Opening Weekend (Nov 29–Dec 1): $135.5 million (¥20.9 billion)
Thanksgiving Five-Day Total (Nov 27–Dec 1): $221 million (¥32.3 billion)

These numbers surpass previous holiday season blockbusters such as The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Disney’s own "Frozen 2". Globally, the film’s five-day total reached $386 million (¥59.4 billion), breaking the all-time Disney Animation opening record held by Frozen 2 ($358 million).

"Get Lost!": A Pivotal Moment in Moana's Journey

One of the most talked-about scenes in the movie is the dynamic performance of "Get Lost!", sung by the mysterious character Matangi. In the sequence, Moana struggles to find her path to a far-off island that holds the key to breaking the Storm God’s curse. Lost in a maze of colossal shells, she encounters Matangi, a bat-like woman who offers cryptic yet profound advice through song: "If you want to find your path, you must first dare to get lost."

The visually exhilarating clip, where Matangi and a swarm of bats swirl around Moana, mirrors the dizzying challenge of self-discovery. Sonim’s energetic vocals embody Matangi’s mischievous yet empowering spirit, leaving a lasting impression on Moana and viewers alike.

Empowering Themes for All Ages

The song resonates deeply with audiences, delivering a message about embracing uncertainty. In life’s toughest moments, when every choice feels like a potential dead end, daring to "get lost" can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. Matangi’s advice becomes a cornerstone for Moana’s journey, carrying a universal message of resilience and courage.
