Produced by Toei Animation, the 2024 original anime Girls Band Cry quickly won over fans with its polished music and compelling characters, becoming one of the standout titles in the band-anime genre. During TOGENASHI TOGEARI’s Nippon Budokan concert in September 2025, an all-new animated film was officially announced.
On the evening of November 3, the film’s official title was revealed as GIRLS BAND CRY THE MOVIE, along with a confirmed theatrical release date of May 21, 2027. The first teaser trailer also made its debut.
The original Girls Band Cry anime was created using 3D CG animation. Its story centers on high school dropout Nina Iseri, who moves to Tokyo and takes a job while studying for college entrance exams. One day, she encounters Momoka Kawaragi performing outside a train station—and finds herself swept up by the music.
The pair eventually join forces with Subaru Awa, who hides her true feelings; Tomo Ebizuka, who was abandoned by her parents; and the perpetually solitary Rupa to form the all-girl band TOGENASHI TOGEARI. Despite their wildly different backgrounds, the five hope to find somewhere they truly belong through music.
The newly revealed teaser visual was drawn by character designer Nari Teshima. Paired with the familiar tagline, “Pour in all your anger, joy, and sadness!”, the artwork brings all five members of TOGENASHI TOGEARI together for one seriously powerful group shot.
The teaser opens with Nina Iseri rallying the group. After dropping out of high school and moving to Tokyo alone, she belts out, “TOGENASHI TOGEARI national tour! Let’s go!” The footage then shows the five growing closer through their band activities. Conflicts keep erupting along the way, but they still stand together against a world packed with absurdity and injustice.
