From the movie "Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night" (to be screened on October 30, 2021), the main trailer, which takes us to the origin of the series and reveals the relationship between Asuna and Mito, has been released. In addition, the theme song will be "Ike", sung and written by LiSA and composed by Ayase, who is also a member of YOASOBI. The movie "Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night" is a film of the new "Aincrad Arc" as seen through the eyes of Asuna by the original author, Kawahara Reki. Yuki Asuna, a third-year junior high school student who has never played online games, is one day, trapped in the world of "Sword Art Online", the world's first VRMMORPG, when she accidentally wears "Nerve Gear". Without knowing the rules of the world, she sets out to conquer the steel floating castle, "Aincrad", and the lone swordsman, Kirito, appears before her as she survives the world of death. The main trailer released this time shows Yuki Asuka, a student studying hard for her entrance exam, is asked by her game-loving classmate, Tozawa Misumi, "Wanna play with me?", then she logs into the world of "SAO" as "Asuna". Then, the game master declares that "SAO" is a death game where you can't log out and risk your life, and Mito (Misumi) firmly decides that she will never let Asuna die, but...... The second half of the trailer shows the scenes where Asuna and Mito fight hard against monsters, and Kirito and Asuna encounter, with the theme song "Ike" sung and written by LiSA, who is known for her music in the "SAO" series, and composed by Ayase, who is also known as the composer of YOASOBI.

The second stage greeting to celebrate the release of "Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis: The New Movie" was held at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills on September 11, 2021. Along with Konomi Takeshi, the original writer and executive producer of the film, all the past and present actors as Echizen Ryoma from the musical "The Prince of Tennis" (a.k.a. Tenimyu) gathered together for the first time in history. "Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis: The New Movie" is the first 3DCG animated film that depicts the three blank months between "The Prince of Tennis" and "The New Prince of Tennis". After winning a deadly battle in the finals of the national tournament, Echizen Ryoma, who is going on a learning mission to the United States by himself, arrives at a time when the young Echizen Nanjiro was active as a "samurai" from the distorted time and space by a "certain event", and then...... In the second stage greeting to celebrate the release of the movie, the actors appeared with Konomi including Yanagi Kotaro, who played the first-generation Ryoma, Sakamoto Shogo, who played the fourth-generation Ryoma, Takahashi Ryuki, who played the fifth-generation Ryoma, Ogoe Yuki, who played the sixth-and-seventh-generation Ryoma, Furuta Kazuki, who played the eighth-generation Ryoma, Akutsu Nichika, who played the ninth-and-tenth-generation Ryoma, and Imamaki Hikaru, who played the current Ryoma. And KIMERU, who played Fuji Shusuke and understudied Ryoma, took the stage as MC. In front of the eight "Ryoma" including KIMERU, Konomi looked deeply moved, saying "A miracle has happened", and KIMERU shared the same feeling, saying "I also feel like a reunion". While the speakers were saying a few words, KIMERU read the comments from Endo Yuya, who played the second-generation Ryoma, and Sakurada Dori, who played the third-generation Ryoma, who were unable to attend the event, instead of them. Then, a big applause came from the audience. As the event was to be "all Ryoma", photos of the time were shown on the screen, and everyone nodded their heads when Furuta commented, "Each of them looks like Ryoma, even though they don't look alike." When asked what was in his mind when playing Ryoma, Sakamoto said, "I had my bangs in mind," and Ogoe and the rest of the cast agreed. Since the cap is Ryoma’s signature, he was particular about the bangs peeking out from the cap. Ogoe also continued, "I also remember that I had a blue flame burning inside me." Akutsu revealed his mind, saying, "Ryoma has a lot of physical activity, so I was thinking about how I could play him cool without getting breathless and Imamaki said, "I had a low natural voice, so I tried to act with a high voice." They revealed what was in their mind. Yanagi, who played the first-generation Ryoma, had Ryoma's cool and unflappable appearance in his mind and recalled, "I tried not to smile while acting cool Ryoma." and Konomi responded to his words, "I think Ryoma is here today because of your hard work, Yanagi-kun," talking about his feeling for 18-year "Tenimyu." In addition, when everyone was asked their favorite scene from the movie "Ryoma!" Takahashi mentioned the church scene between Ryoma and Sakuno, saying, "When I saw that scene, I wanted to do Tenimyu again!" While each of them showed their favorite scenes, KIMERU said, "I also played Ryoma as a substitute, but the scene with Nanjiro reminded me of that time and made me feel so emotional." It seems that all the actors who played Ryoma in the past felt the same about the scene where Nanjiro and Ryoma faced each other, which was very moving. At the end of the event, Konomi seemed to embrace the miracle again, saying, "I can’t believe to see so many Ryoma here......." He was overwhelmed with a flood of emotions, saying, "I'd like to thank the eight Ryoma for coming here and everyone who comes to the theater. I appreciate your continuous support for ‘Ryoma!’" and closed his thoughts. "Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis: The New Movie" is currently in theaters. Event: The second stage greeting to celebrate the release of "Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis: The New Movie" where all Ryoma gathered!

‘“Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon - The Lover of Princess Kaguya” Musical’ premiered on September 3. Photos from the rehearsal, and a short commentary from the actors from before the premiere, were released. ‘“Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon - The Lover of Princess Kaguya” Musical’ will be performed from September 3 to September 12 at the The Galaxy Theatre in Tennnozu. The musical is based on “The Lover of Princess Kaguya” story, highly popular among the fans of the original manga, with screenplay and production by Miura Kaori. The released brief commentaries were made by the cast performers Tanaka Riko (Sailor Moon / Tsukino Usagi), MARISA (Luna's Human Form), Sakurai Yune (Luna's Cat Form), and Sorahane Riku (Tuxedo Mask / Mamoru Chiba), in which they express on their enthusiasm towards the musical opening. Furthermore the final day of the musical will be live-streamed at the platform Streaming+. The performance will also be recorded and made available overseas at a later date at GLOBE CODING. [Super Sailor Moon / Sailor Moon / Tsukino Usagi: Tanaka Riko] After the 1-year postponement I’m really happy that the musical finally got to premiere. Alongside the new 2021 team, my goal is to deliver a touching performance to the audiences. I’ll do my best until the very end, without forgetting the feelings of gratitude towards all the staff and fans who supported and cheered for this musical! [Luna (human): MARISA] I think that it’s a miracle that we managed to reopen the play given the current situation in Japan, where everyone is facing a lot of anxiety and many other plays were shut down. However it is exactly because this miracle happened now at this time, we were able to prepare a musical we are proud of presenting to people. The Sailor Guardians are always standing by us, no matter what. Even if it is through screens, I’m sure they will make people feel better. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the stage, and will do my best until the final day. [Luna (cat): Sakurai Yune] I’m very happy we were able to reach the opening day. The musical’s plot centers around the theme of standing up against evil to protect the world, and of course loved ones. It will definitely warm up the heart’s of people who are feeling worn out! I’d be very pleased if the audiences enjoy it! [Tuxedo Mask / Chiba Mamoru: Sorahane Riku] I am truly delighted by the fact that we are finally premiering. I’m grateful for everyone’s hard work during the preparation. We put a lot of effort in the rehearsal in order to deliver a fun and memorable experience for the audiences. I will pour my heart soul into the performance to make it a musical that people fall in love with! (C)Takeuchi Naoko / “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” Musical Production Committee 2021
