Sega and Colorful Palette surprised us all when they announced a Project Sekai movie adaptation, which came to cinemas in Japan in January 2025. The film’s opening weekend was a huge success, earning over 300 million yen and ranking first on Kogyo Tsushinsha’s screen average.
Project Sekai, or Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage, is a mobile rhythm and gacha game that follows the lives of five high school students, their music groups, and their unique relationships with virtual singers known as Vocaloids. It has surpassed 39 million worldwide downloads since its initial launch in Japan in 2020 and is now expanding its reach to animated media with the announcement of its first-ever movie adaptation, called “Project Sekai The Movie: A Broken World and Miku Who Can’t Sing”.
Fans of the game will know that the Project Sekai characters each have a different version of Miku that they call their friend, but the Project Sekai movie introduces a completely new Miku and original plot, adding to the already complex and emotional narrative behind the game. As the title suggests, this new Miku struggles to reach people with her song, so she comes to Ichika, and presumably, the rest of the unit leads, to learn how to connect with people through music.
When was the Project Sekai movie release date?
“Project Sekai The Movie: A Broken World and Miku Who Can’t Sing” premiered in theaters in Japan on January 17, 2025. We know that the film is launching globally under the title “COLORFUL STAGE! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing” and is due to hit cinemas in the US on April 11, 2025.
