When Miku vanishes, Ichika is left curious and fascinated, sparking their unique connection that develops throughout the film. Together, they navigate the themes of self-discovery and the importance of sharing one’s true feelings through song.

Starting from May 9, 2025, fans can also enjoy the film in immersive 4DX and MX4D formats.
