Girls Band Cry THE MOVIE opens in Japanese cinemas on 21 May 2027, the anime’s official website announced on 3 November with a teaser and a poster. Toei Animation’s original band anime returns with an entirely new story, after the two compilation films of the TV series that opened in Japan in October and November 2025.

A 50-venue tour for an indie band

The teaser’s official synopsis picks up two months after the band quit their agency. Nina, Momoka, Subaru, Tomo and Rupa are back in part-time jobs and still playing as TOGENASHI TOGEARI. Miura, their manager at the agency, who has kept helping with their shows, tells them about a live tour that was booked before they left. Nina keeps adding dates until the tour reaches 50 venues across Japan.

The main cast returns: Rina as Nina, Yuri as Momoka, Mirei as Subaru, Natsu as Tomo and Shuri as Rupa. Kazuo Sakai directs again from a script by Jukki Hanada, and Toei distributes.
