Crystal Kay Sings Pokemon | March 05, 2008 |
 R&B singer Crystal Kay (22) has lined up her first anime theme song. Her song "One" will be used as the main theme for this summer's Pocket Monsters movie. The 11th theatrical release, "Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl. Giratina to Sora no Hanataba: Sheimi" (Giratina and the Bouquet of the Sky), opens in theaters on July 19. The production team had wanted to team up with the singer since her song "Lost Child" was used for the 2001 movie "Satorare". In turn, Kay says she was a fan of the English dub of Pokemon when she was a student at a Tokyo international school. "One" will be released for mobile phone downloads on March 8, when the movie trailer hits cinemas.
