Hatsune Miku: COLORFUL STAGE! anime movie Project SEKAI the Movie: Kowareta SEKAI to Utaenai MIKU announced

CyberAgent, Colorful Palette, SEGA, and animation studio PAWORKS have announced Project SEKAI the Movie: Kowareta SEKAI to Utaenai MIKU, the first anime movie based on the rhythm and adventure game Hatsune Miku: COLORFUL STAGE! (known as Project SEKAI: COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku in Japan). It will premiere in theaters on January 17, 2025 in Japan.

The movie will feature a completely original story, featuring a new Hatsune Miku not depicted in the game. The main visual displays a lonely-looking Hatsune Miku covered in noise on the busy streets of Shibuya, ignored by most of the people passing by, and without a reflection in the puddle beneath her.

Here is the story synopsis:

“Tell me about yourself. Maybe then I’ll understand the song.”

Ichika Hoshino heard a Miku song she never heard before at a CD shop. On the monitor, she saw a Miku she had never seen, and unintentionally blurted “Miku!?” out loud. Surprised by her voice, Miku’s eyes meet with Ichika’s, but she disappeared soon after.

Several days later, the Miku she had previously encountered appears on Ichika’s smartphone after a music performance on the street. Miku sadly hung her head, and when Ichika gently asked her about it, Miku told her that she wants to reach people with her song, but no matter how much she sings, her songs never reach anyone.

Seeing Ichika sing and reach the hearts of many during her own performances, Miku thought that she could do the same if she got to know her, and so she came to Ichika. Ichika smiles and responds to Miku’s wish with, “If you think I’m good enough,” and thus begins a new Hatsune Miku story with the youth.
