Key Visual and Main Trailer

The Five Apprentice Witches Return in a New Key Visual

The latest key visual once again places Yuina, Azu, Kyoka, Choco, and Mai at the center in their colorful costumes.

The illustration was drawn by character designer Nozomi Tachibana and carries the new tagline “欠点ばかりだけど、無敵な私たちは永遠不滅！”, emphasizing how five deeply imperfect girls become formidable when they stand together.

Posters and flyers featuring the artwork are also scheduled to begin appearing progressively at participating theaters from August 28.

The Main Trailer Reintroduces the Five Members and Keroppe

The roughly one-minute trailer opens around Yuina Akagi before reintroducing Azu, Kyoka, Choco, Mai, and the mysterious familiar Keroppe, who recruited the girls into their witch training.

Its second half shifts into a more emotional montage of their journey before offering a preview of the film's theme song, “Amehare Make up.”

The structure makes it clear that the movie is designed to revisit the relationships, conflicts, music, and character growth that defined the television run.

It Is More Than 12 Episodes Simply Cut Into a Movie

Maebashi Witches originally aired as a 12-episode TV anime from April through June 2025.

For the theatrical edition, the original staff returned to reconstruct that journey into approximately 120 minutes. Official materials explicitly promise a new song alongside re-recorded and newly recorded material rather than simply connecting previously aired scenes.

The story still follows Yuina and her four friends as ordinary life in Maebashi changes after meeting Keroppe and beginning to help other people as apprentice witches.

“Amehare Make up” Serves as the Movie Theme

The new theme song “Amehare Make up” is performed by the five lead cast members as Maebashi Witches.

Its lyrics were written by Yuki Iwai of comedy duo Haraichi, who had previously spoken publicly about his enthusiasm for the series alongside director Junichi Yamamoto. EFFY composed and arranged the track.

The song also opens the track list of the movie mini-album 「春化」, scheduled for September 30, 2026.

Three New MoviTicket Options Are Being Prepared

The August 28 announcement also introduced several new advance-ticket options.

Mubicheki, combining newly photographed cast cheki with an online MoviTicket, opened for orders through MOVIE WALKER STORE at ¥3,340. Two Gunma Local MoviTicket designs follow on September 25 for ¥1,900 each at selected theaters in Gunma Prefecture.

How to Fish

A Visual MoviTicket Wave 2 using the latest key visual then goes on sale October 9 for the standard ¥1,900 price.

The Movie Will Be Revisited on Stage in January

After the theatrical release, the five lead performers will hold Gekijōban “Maebashi Witches” Live ~EPISODE of EMOEMORIES~ Chapter 1 to 5.

The event takes place at Shibuya LOVEZ on January 15–16, 2027, across three performances, with a concept designed to let audiences retrace the movie through a live show.

Before that, all 12 TV episodes are also receiving a limited free run on the official YouTube channel from August 28 at 6:00 PM JST through September 4 at 11:59 PM JST.

Why This Matters

1) It is not being treated as a simple recap

The 120-minute structure summarizes the TV series, but the new song and re-recorded/newly recorded material give returning viewers additional material.

2) Music remains central to Maebashi Witches

The main trailer itself moves from character introductions into the first preview of “Amehare Make up,” continuing the close relationship between the anime story and the real-world Maebashi Witches unit.

3) The project continues beyond the theatrical release

The film is surrounded by a mini-album, multiple MoviTicket campaigns, free streaming of the entire TV series, and a dedicated January 2027 live show.
