GKIDS has released The Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing trailer for the U.S. theatrical debut of the anime movie, based on popular rhythm game character and Vocaloid software Hatsune Miku. This comes after the film had its theatrical release in Japan nearly a month ago, where it earned a gross of over 570 million yen at the box office.
“It is based on the game about high school students finding their true feelings through music in an alternate world called ‘SEKAI’ with the help of Hatsune Miku,” reads the official synopsis. “Ichika is a high school musician who can enter a mysterious place called ‘SEKAI,’ where she and her friends express their innermost emotions through music alongside Hatsune Miku. One day after giving a live performance, Ichika meets a new Miku that she has never seen before. No matter how hard this new Miku tries to sing, she struggles connecting with the hearts of her listeners. Miku must rely on the help of others to find a way to sing again.”
