Travis Japan to perform "Lilo & Stitch" Japanese version ending song; Stitch-loving Kaito Nakamura also a voice actor
Travis Japan will perform the Japanese version ending song for the live-action movie "Lilo & Stitch," set for release on June 6. They will sing Elvis Presley's famous song "Burning Love," which was also used in the ending of the animated version.

"Lilo & Stitch" is a "heartfelt fantasy" depicting the encounter between Lilo, a girl who lost her parents and lives with her older sister Nani, and Stitch, a rowdy and mischievous alien. In the Japanese version, Kōichi Yamadera, Yuno Nagao, MOMONA (ME:I), and Kaito Nakamura (Travis Japan) will provide voice acting.
Highly acclaimed by Disney's head office and the filmmakers as "unique entertainers with overwhelming performance skills, pop-infused singing ability, and a sun-like positive aura emanating from the group," Travis Japan was chosen to perform the Japanese version ending song for this film. The close bond of Travis Japan, cultivated through their formative period and training in America where they lived together like family under one roof, deeply resonates with the movie's themes of family bonds and connections with friends.
The members received the news that they would be performing the Japanese version ending song in the dressing room just before a show on their national arena tour "Travis Japan Concert Tour 2025 VIIsual," similar to when Nakamura heard the news of his voice acting role for the Japanese version. When the members, dressed in their concert costumes, were surprised by staff with the announcement, they exclaimed, "Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing?" exchanged high-fives with broad smiles, and shared their joy.
Member Nakamura enthusiastically stated, "I've loved Stitch since I was a child, and the first stuffed animal I ever bought was Stitch, so I'm incredibly happy to be able to participate in the live-action version of 'Lilo & Stitch.' More than anything, being able to sing a song with our voices as Travis Japan in a Disney production is also a huge joy, so I'll work hard to polish our vocals and do my best to contribute even a little to the film!" Noel Kawashima, who returned on May 17 after a hiatus of about five months due to poor health, commented, "Just hearing the voices of the members who passed the audition in theaters is joyful enough, but this further happy news has my heart blazing!"
"Burning Love" sung by Travis Japan will be released on CD on June 4 and will be included on the original soundtrack of "Lilo & Stitch," which will be digitally released on the same day.
