Synopsis

Set after the events of the first given film, this entry shifts attention to Hiiragi Kashima and Shizusumi Yagi, Mafuyu's childhood friends, whose band syh is preparing to debut. When their support guitarist leaves, the debut show is suddenly in jeopardy, and Ritsuka is asked to fill in for people whose history with Mafuyu complicates everything considerably. The film handles the pair's long, unspoken relationship with the franchise's characteristic restraint, letting the music carry the emotional weight neither of them is willing to put into words.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
Directed by Noriko Hashimoto and released theatrically in Japan in January 2024, this film continues the given franchise adapted from Natsuki Kizu's manga. The series earned widespread praise for treating its boys' love romance with genuine emotional seriousness and for the strength of its original music, particularly in performance sequences. Shifting focus to supporting characters rather than the original leads is characteristic of the franchise's willingness to develop its full ensemble, and the film was well received by readers who had followed the manga's later arcs.
