“Worlders,” the ending theme song for Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing, has received the music video treatment. Said video was released on the Project Sekai Colorful Stage Feat. Hatsune Miku YouTube channel on January 29 JST, two weeks after the anime movie’s January 17 JST Japanese premiere.
Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing is inspired by the Project Sekai rhythm game (known in English as Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!), which was originally launched for iOS and Android on September 30, 2020 before getting a Western release in December 2021. It is a spin-off of Sega‘s Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series and features several other virtual singers, such as Kagamine Rin and Len.
The movie’s synopsis reads:
“Tell me more… about you. Maybe then… I will know how to sing.”
Ichika Hoshino hears a song by Miku that she has never heard before at a music store. She finds “Hatsune Miku,” who she has never seen before in the TV screen, and says aloud “Miku!?”. Although their eyes meet, Miku is startled by Ichika’s voice and disappears.
Later, after Ichika finishes her street performance, Miku appears again in Ichika’s smartphone. Ichika asks the sad looking Miku what is troubling her and finds out that there are people who Miku wants to deliver her song to, but no matter how much she sings, her voice won’t reach them.
After seeing Ichika reach people’s hearts with her song, Miku thinks that she can do the same by learning more about Ichika. Ichika smiles and agrees to help. Join Miku and her friends as a new story begins!
An international release was announced in August 2024.
