Fashion model and singer Rola (ローラ) will sing the ending theme for Kyurem VS the Sacred Swordsman Keldeo (キュレムVS聖剣士ケルディオ) which premieres in Japanese theaters on July 14th, 2012. The theme song is titled Memories (メモリーズ). Rola is 22 years old and was born on March 30th, 1990. Her father is from Bangladesh and her mother is half Japanese and part Russian so that gives Rola her unique features and is why she is a popular model in Japan currently.

Rola was quoted saying, "I've loved Pokémon since I was little, I always played the games and I love Pikachu, I was very happy when I heard the theme song! Really happy happy! Come see the movie!" 「ポケモンは小さいころから大好きだったし、いつもゲームしてたし、ピカチュウも大好きで、主題歌歌うって聞いたときはすごく嬉しかった! 本当にハッピーハッピー! 映画も見に来てね!」

Director Kunihiko Yuyama (湯山邦彦) said about the theme, "Before hearing it, considering the title is "Memories (メモリーズ)", it was a very grand image, but when I heard it I felt a sense of large-scale and it works perfectly." 「『Memories(メモリーズ)』というタイトルからして、聴く前からとても壮大なイメージだったのですが、聴いてみてまさに作品にぴったりの大きなスケール感を感じました」

Rola will also be doing her first voice acting role for the movie as she voices a cheerful and innocent girl named Marin (マリン) who meets Satoshi while he is on his journey.
