The Nanba brothers are rooting for their fellow space enthusiast from America as they promote the Japanese release of a US film.

In a recent ad, the main protagonists of Space Brothers are hyping up the upcoming Japanese release of the The Martian , known in Japan as "Odyssey." The brothers can be seen panicking over the film's main character Mark Watney (portrayed by Matt Damon ) as he becomes stranded on Mars, but soon begin cheering for his survival.

Hibito: "Bro! That's Mars, isn't it? Hey, watch out!"

Mutta: "No way! It's like when you were stuck on the moon!"

Hibito: "All alone on Mars...without oxygen, water, even food!?"

Mutta: "What a dilemma! But looks like he's as fiery as you, Hibito!"

Hibito: "He's sure not going down without a fight!"

Mutta: "Amazing!"

Hibito: "Everyone, believe! Don't give up, Mark!"

Mutta: "Give it your all! We'll be rooting for you! I'll have to pen this movie in somehow!"

Hibito: "For sure."

The movie is slated for a Japanese release on February 5 of next year.

Directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Prometheus), The Martian saw its US release last month on October 2, grossing over $172 million during its theatrical run. The film stars Matt Damon , Jessica Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Kristen Wiig and tells the story of an astronaut becoming stranded by himself on Mars and utilizes several resources to survive and hopefully be rescued.
