A new main trailer has been unveiled for the upcoming Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing anime film, which will premiere in Japan on January 17, 2025. 

The new trailer features the narration of Hatsune Miku as she talks about meeting her new friends and her love of singing. An English subtitled trailer was also released. 

An international release of Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing was announced this past August and is listed as “coming soon.” 

In addition, character illustrations for the film’s main cast were also released.

Hiroyuki Hata (Lapis Re:LiGHTs) is directing the anime series, with Yoko Yonaiyama (A Sign of Affection series composer and screenwriter) as screenwriter, Yuki Akiyama (The Aquatope on White Sand) as character designer and chief animation director, Masatoshi Tsuji (Vivid BAD SQUAD Digest Animation – Journey to Bloom “Resolve”) sub-character designer and chief animation director. P.A.WORKS is in charge of the animation production. 

The anime film is inspired by the Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! (Project Sekai Colorful Stage Feat. Hatsune Miku) rhythm game, which was originally launched for iOS and Android on September 30, 2020 before getting a Western release in December 2021. It is a spin-off of Sega‘s Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series and features several other virtual singers, such as Kagamine Rin and Len.

The official English synopsis for the film is described as:

“Tell me more… about you. Maybe then… I will know how to sing.”

Ichika Hoshino hears a song by Miku that she has never heard before at a music store. She finds “Hatsune Miku,” who she has never seen before in the TV screen, and says aloud “Miku!?”. Although their eyes meet, Miku is startled by Ichika’s voice and disappears.

Later, after Ichika finishes her street performance, Miku appears again in Ichika’s smartphone. Ichika asks the sad looking Miku what is troubling her and finds out that there are people who Miku wants to deliver her song to, but no matter how much she sings, her voice won’t reach them.

After seeing Ichika reach people’s hearts with her song, Miku thinks that she can do the same by learning more about Ichika. Ichika smiles and agrees to help. Join Miku and her friends as a new story begins!
