Himitsu no Aipri is heading to the big screen with Himitsu no Aipri the Movie: Mankai Buzzrium Live!, opening across Japan on March 13, 2026. Framed as a springtime concert adventure in the Aipribirth world, the film mixes an original story about protecting everyone’s secrets with cheer-friendly “Buzzrium” live screenings where kids and fans can call out together.
A springtime Aipribirth story built around a Buzzrium live show
The latest entry in the Pretty Series, Himitsu no Aipri, is getting its first theatrical outing with Himitsu no Aipri the Movie: Mankai Buzzrium Live! (“mankai” meaning “full bloom”). The TV anime, which began airing in April 2024, adapts the kids’ amusement game created by Takara Tomy Arts and Syn Sophia and follows Himari Aozora and Mitsuki Hoshikawa as they slip into the “secret world” of Aipribirth to perform as idol princesses. The movie builds on that same setup, but turns it into a big-screen spring festival packed with live performances.
Story beats: the Spring Float Race and everyone’s precious secrets
In the film, Princess Ring kicks off the “Spring Float Race,” a festive event that pulls Aipris from across the franchise into a cherry-blossom-filled Aipribirth. Everyone’s eyes are on the grand prize, the “Friendship Sakura Twin” coord, but an unexpected incident threatens more than just the race. Himari, Mitsuki and friends have to protect the precious “secrets” that make each Aipri who they are. It is billed as a completely original movie-only story, with a parade of favorite Aipris taking the stage for new songs and outfits.
Cheer-ready screenings that turn theaters into Aipri stages
True to the Pretty Series tradition of idol shows you can shout along to, every screening of the movie is designed as a participatory “Mankai! Let’s Have a Live Experience Together!” session—meaning cheering and calling out are allowed in all showings, with only a few exceptions. The idea is to turn the cinema into a Buzzrium live venue, where kids, parents and long-time Pretty fans can wave penlights, call their favorite characters’ names and enjoy the music like a real concert. For overseas fans used to quiet cinema rules, this is very much a “live-viewing-style” family event rather than a standard sit-and-watch screening.
Key details on the release date, staff, cast and TV anime link
Himitsu no Aipri the Movie: Mankai Buzzrium Live! opens nationwide in Japan on March 13, 2026. The film credits Takara Tomy Arts and Syn Sophia as original creators, with Kentaro Yamaguchi directing and Juo Ichikawa on script, plus additional script work by Junichi Fujisaku. Character drafts come from Syn Sophia’s Hiromi Nashimoto, with character designs by Yuki Nagano and animation production by OLM and DONGWOO A&E.
The cast brings back the TV anime’s core lineup: Mitoku Fujidera as Himari Aozora, Sae Hiratsuka as Mitsuki Hoshikawa, Yurika Hibi as Sakura Ichijouji, and a long list of Aipris including Tsumugi Suzukaze, Ring Clover, Julia Igarashi, Eru Rokudou, Subaru Nanaura, Otome Nanaura, Bibi Hachioji, Chii Mamiya, Tamaki Nikaidou, Airi Mitsuba and Rinrin Shinomiya. If you have watched the series—or any past Pretty Series shows—you should feel right at home.
Advance MoviTicke options and their bonuses
Advance tickets go on sale November 30, 2025 with several MoviTicke formats. The main draw is the physical MoviTicke card, which comes with a limited “key visual design” clear file as a first bonus while supplies last, sold at participating cinemas. For fans who prefer digital, the MoviTicke online ticket includes a special smartphone wallpaper instead of the clear file, delivered via email as a purchase number. There is also a convenience-store MoviTicke that can be purchased at major chains like 7-Eleven, Lawson, Ministop and FamilyMart from December 1, though this option does not include any bonuses. All three are standard-priced Japanese advance tickets: 1,600 yen for adults and 900 yen for children.
Official movie and Pretty Series accounts to follow before opening day
To stay updated, the main hub is the movie’s official site at the Himitsu no Aipri movie page, which collects trailers, key visuals and theater information. The dedicated movie X account, @aiprimoviePR, will share breaking news and campaign details. For broader Pretty Series content—including trailers, clips and short videos—fans can follow franchise-wide channels like the Pretty Series PR YouTube, Instagram and TikTok accounts. With the TV series still fresh and a cheer-friendly spring movie on the way, 2026 looks like a big year for Aipri fans and future “Pritomo” alike, so now is a great time to bookmark the movie site and plan your own Buzzrium live outing.
