Hatsune Miku's first movie, now in theaters, requires some homework beforehand
Briefly

Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing is Hatsune Miku's first-ever theatrical release, focusing on the rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage. While the film features guitarist Ichika and her band, it surprises the audience with the inclusion of 20 characters from various musical groups, tied into the game's concept of secretive pocket dimensions. The frequent character shifts and complex relationships can overwhelm viewers not familiar with the game, making it challenging to grasp the storyline and character interactions.
The inclusion of all 20 characters across five musical groups in the film made it challenging to follow the character dynamics and their connections to each other.
While Colorful Stage! The Movie focuses on Ichika and her band, it introduces numerous characters from the game, complicating the narrative for viewers unfamiliar with them.
