As in many markets around the world, the live-action adaptation of the Disney classic Aladdin has proven to be a huge success here in Japan.

 

According to Eiga.com (accessed 7/8 JST), it was still ranked #1 among all films playing in Japanese theaters in the final weekend of June, four weeks after its release.

 

As part of its ongoing promotion of the film, Disney released a music video for one of its most memorable songs, the fun and rousing number "Friend Like Me," performed by a talented cast of Japanese high school students.
