I Love Earth! Kikkun
2026
Only Image
A short anime adaptation of a story Yuichi Nakamaru has been writing himself for about 15 years.
It tells the story of Kikkun, an extraterrestrial life form who comes from a distant planet with the goal of invading Earth. As the members of the Japan invasion team grow increasingly fond of how comfortable life in Japan is, they begin to forget their original mission and instead come to love Japan—and even decide to protect Japan, or rather, the Earth.
Nakamaru himself voices the protagonist, Kikkun.
This is a work packed with Nakamaru’s passion, as he has been involved in every stage of its creation.
It airs every Wednesday on TOKYO MX during “Goji ni Muchuu!”, and the companion program “Kikkun no Choitashi!” is also broadcast every Thursday morning.
