The Theatrical Success of 'Toi-san'

The recent theatrical animation titled "Toi-san: I Want to Experience Youth! 'Baka, Smartphone, and Romance'" has made a remarkable start, exceeding 120 million yen in ticket sales during the holiday season. Managed by STPR, a creative company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, and crafted under the supervision of the popular creator Gel from the 2.5D idol group Sutopuri, this film has resonated well with audiences since its release on July 18.

In the lead-up to the movie’s premiere, social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok were abuzz with posts showcasing the "Toi-san Dance," generating significant excitement. Following the film's debut, viewers particularly in their teens and twenties connected with its themes of youth and societal issues. The film has not only attracted single viewers but also families, showcasing its broad appeal and solidifying its initial success.

As the summer movie season heats up, "Toi-san" stands out with its compelling mix of relatable youth narratives infused with Gel's unique humor and emotional depth. This combination has driven the film to secure slots in top weekend box office rankings, boosted by positive word-of-mouth and social media sharing.
