one-week limited theatrical run starting February 20, 2026—plus stage greetings,
special “cheering OK” screenings, and a theater bonus item.

New Trailer (Theatrical Run Commemoration)



Here’s the newly released trailer tied to the one-week theatrical run.
If you loved the film’s music-driven energy, this preview leans into that emotional ride.





When Is the Japan Theatrical Run?



The film will screen in Japan for one week only, starting Friday, February 20, 2026.
Theater lists and showtimes are expected to be updated on the official site and social accounts,
so if you’re planning a trip (or already in Japan), keep checking for the latest venue lineup.



What Makes the Theater Version Special?



Alongside the “please put this on a huge screen” demand from fans, the theatrical run is also teasing
a cinema-only presentation element in a certain scene—something you won’t get outside the theater experience.
If you’re the type who re-watches for details (or sound design), this is the kind of “only in theaters” hook worth noting.



Stage Greetings (Talk Events) — Date, Venues, Ticket Info



Japan will also host official stage greetings on Sunday, February 22 (four sessions total).
These are typically live talk events where cast and staff share behind-the-scenes stories.




  • Date: Feb 22, 2026 (Sun) — 4 sessions

  • Venues: Shinjuku Balt 9 / Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro (Tokyo)

  • Price: 2,400 yen

  • Ticket page: Lawson Ticket event page




Important for overseas fans: Some ticketing features can be restricted outside Japan
(logins, account creation, payment methods, and lottery-type sales may not work from overseas).
If you’re applying from abroad, check Lawson Ticket’s guidance for non-Japanese / overseas access
and be prepared that you may need to apply once you’re physically in Japan.



Cheering Screenings (Voice + Penlights OK)



“Cheering OK” screenings have been announced—meaning you may be able to shout support, clap,
and use penlights during select showings (exact rules vary by theater).
Dates and participating theaters are planned to be announced later, so keep an eye on official updates.



Pair Discount (Go With a Friend)



There will be a pair discount at participating theaters during the run:
two people can watch at a reduced per-person rate.
If you’re traveling with a friend (or meeting another fan in Japan), this is an easy win.




  • Standard ticket (listed): 2,200 yen

  • Pair deal: 1,500 yen per person (2 people)

  • Note: If you go as 3 people, the third person is charged at the standard rate.



Theater Bonus Gift: Staff Illustration Booklet (Limited)



Theater attendees will receive a limited A5 “Staff Illustration Booklet” featuring newly drawn art
by members of the production team (while supplies last; distribution ends when theaters run out).
As usual with these bonuses, availability can vary by theater—so early showings tend to be the safest bet.



If You’re Watching From Outside Japan



Not traveling? No problem—Netflix is still the main global access point.
If you want the “best of both worlds” experience:



  • Watch on Netflix to catch story details and character beats.

  • Then rewatch key music/live sequences with good headphones or speakers—this film is built to hit with sound.

  • Use the official trailer + official social posts to stay updated in case more international events appear later.
