In Walt Disney Animation Studios� new movie �Wreck-It Ralph�, bad guy Ralph goes on an adventure with other video game characters to prove that he is really a good guy.

The video games Ralph travels to go from the �80s up to our modern day video games and one of the best ways to differentiate these games is through their music. Producer Clark Spencer said, �Music is another way to set the stage and make these worlds completely different.� The score has been composed by composer Henry Jackman (�Winnie the Pooh,� �X-Men: First Class�).

However, the filmmakers took it to the next step and got unexpected artists to help. One of those artists will be AKB48. AKB48 will be featured in the video game �Sugar Rush�, which is described as a candy-coated cart-racing game in a land of sweets. Spencer said, �We�ve always thought of Sugar Rush � with its nod to anime � as a game that may have originated in Japan. So we went to Japan and got the hottest J-pop group to perform the song that really sets the tone for the �90s-era cart-racing game: young and hip.�

AKB48�s new song for the film is appropriately titled, �Sugar Rush�.

�Wreck-It Ralph� will hit theaters on November 2, 2012 and the soundtrack will be available on October 30, 2012.
