Your Name is a very specifically Japanese film in an incredibly Japanese setting, with a story steeped in modern Japanese culture. Film buffs in general will prefer to see a movie like this in Japanese.Though I do agree that a good dub is necessary for this to have a chance at wide-spread appeal.

Looks like there's a version of the trailer with the English version of Zenzenzense up on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qeAZLyBNQI Pretty cool. They're going to release the English version songs on a CD in Japan on February 22. It'll be available as a download release from the 27th of this month. http://radwimps.jp/news/8937/ The movie will also be screened in Japan at select theaters with English subtitles and the English songs for a couple weeks starting January 28. https://twitter.com/shinkai_works/status/821509935833829376 |

Yeah, it starts screening on April 7, which is a Friday. Fridays are competitive - they're when "real" movies start screening, whether they're artsy things or blockbusters. Funimation aiming for a Friday night suggests they're going for a real theatrical run of a week or more. Otherwise they'd probably do what they do with most of their theatrical releases - pick up a few unpopular (i.e. cheap) showtimes at night in the middle of the week, often Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It's also interesting that "your name." is getting releases 1 week to the day after the live-action Ghost in the Shell (which premieres 3/31). Suggests that companies are pushing anime-related films toward more in-demand times of the year. |

Should've come to Australia last year in November, I watched the dub version with my brother, it was awesome 
The encyclopedia entry doesn't seem to mention the Australian premiere date, it was 24 November 2016 (http://yournamefilm.com.au/) |

I think the original version of the song is much better than an English remake. Because it just won't synchronize well with the movie itself. Well this is solely my opinion alone. If Americans like it better with English song, I won't be complaining. |

I'm already expecting to be disappointed when your name doesn't get nominated for Best Animated Feature. Now I can be even further let down when it doesn't get screened in my city. Woo hoo.

Haha same. I was lucky with the screening of Princess Mononoke and One Piece, but for the most part Funimation films are almost never screened here. So I'm excited but keeping low expectations. |

^Let's just say I'm glad I'm living in Northern Virginia now. I was in the Philadelphia area until May of last year and after the first two Madoka films, the area was passed over in every anime film run. Where I'm at now gets every one so far, though I've only seen Kizu. I'm reasonably certain I'll have a theater near me. But I know how much it sucks not to have that.
