The Highly Anticipated Blu-ray and Making DVD Release of Film DOPPEL

The Release of DOPPEL Blu-ray and Making DVD

Introduction
DOPPEL, directed by Kenji Tani, is a psychologically gripping film that premiered in theaters on April 17, 2026. Produced by Seven Film Co., Ltd., known for its successful series Chuisou Journey, DOPPEL explores the life of a young, ambitious actor caught between the lines of reality and performance.

Starring Daisuke Morisaki, this film marks his first leading role, alongside prominent actors such as Shohei Hashimoto and Yusuke Hino. Morisaki, previously known for his work with the global boy band BLANK2Y as the leader of Celest1a, has received significant attention, particularly from the Gen Z audience, as he ventures into acting.

The movie takes place within a highly popular theater troupe, Gekidan Byakuya, and follows the central character, Noboru Mitsui, who is cast as an emotionless murderer in an upcoming play. As he immerses himself deeper into his role, Mitsui struggles to differentiate between his real-world identity and the character he portrays.

The initial theatrical release garnered over 900 attendees and quickly rose to fame, extending its screening period due to popular demand. In May, the film climbed the rankings of Movie.com, moving from 309th to 9th place, showcasing its growing popularity.

Following the success of its theatrical release, DOPPEL was made available for online streaming for nine days in August 2026, featuring a special edition that included a reading play with Daisuke Morisaki and Shohei Hashimoto, performed at a completion screening event in December 2025.
