Aikatsu! is all prepared for a new anime film; well, not exactly new, though. We were more than teased about the upcoming film “Aikatsu! 10th Story ~Starway to the Future~” when we saw twenty minutes of it along with the Aikatsu! Planet movie.
On Thursday, the official website for the Aikatsu! franchise and BN Pictures released a new trailer for the movie. The video previews the opening theme for the film “My Starway”, performed by Waka Kirishima, Furi Uebana, and Yuna Ichikawa.
The ending theme is not featured in the video but has been revealed. “Kori no Mori” will be the ending song and is performed by Waka Kirishima, Furi Uebana, Yuna Ichikawa, Remi Mitani, Eri Aino, and Risuko Sasakama.
During the premiere of the first twenty-two minutes of the film in July 2022, it was revealed that the complete movie will be released on January 20, 2023. That date also marks the 10th anniversary of the Aikatsu! franchise.
Aikatsu! 10th Story will be a brand new story set in the original 2012 Aikatsu! anime universe. It will focus on Ichigo Hoshimiya, Aoi Kiriya, and Ran Shibuki as they approach their graduation from Starlight Academy.
The movie also marks the return of the original staff – Ryuichi Kimura as the director, Yoichi Kato as the screenwriter, and Hiroko Yaguchi as the character designer. BN Pictures will continue to be the production studio.
Aikatsu! has come a long way from a card game to an anime series that spawned several spin-offs. Watching the original characters would certainly be nostalgic for fans.
