Ni no Kuni hits retail in exactly one month.

Level-5's long awaited Studio Ghibli tie-up RPG Ni no Kuni is set for December 9 release. As it does with many of its major releases, Level-5 will be celebrating with a pre-release completion ceremony.

The Ni no Kuni: Shikkoku no Madoushi completion ceremony will be held at JCB Hall in central Tokyo on the evening of the 8th. Joining CEO Akihiro Hino will be the voice acting staff, including Mikako Tabe and You Ooizumi, and spokesgirl Mana Ashida. Mai will take the stage for a live performance of the game's theme song, Kokoro no Kakera.

Similar to the completion ceremony for last year's Layton game, Level-5 will be letting the general public in on the festivities. One thousand members of the general public will be able to attend. See the event page for details on how to put your name down.

Last year's Layton completion ceremony saw the unveiling of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, at the time a DS title. Level-5 also shared upcoming plans for the Layton series. For a look at the Layton event, see this gallery and this report.

Level-5 kicked off the Layton completion ceremony with a red carpet entrance for the voice actors.
