The School Idol GPX Ends in Tokyo

The Love Live! Nijigasaki School Idol Club Complete Chapter movie trilogy is finally getting its finish line. The Final Chapter opens February 5, 2027, and the story carries the 12 girls from Okinawa, through Kyoto and Osaka and Kobe, all the way to the School Idol GPX Grand Prix final round in Tokyo.

The new teaser trailer (just dropped) shows the "12 and 1" — the twelve Nijigasaki members plus You Watanaki watching them shine — and it is doing a number on me. Sunrise is animating it, Tomoyuki Kawamura is directing, and the design work is by MEBACHI, so the visual bar is essentially the ceiling of what this franchise has ever hit.

Pre-Sale Tickets & Bonuses

• 2nd-wave Muvic pre-sale starts October 23 at theaters, Major online, and MOVIE WALKER STORE. Bonus: a random die-cut clear card from a set of 13, all original art by MEBACHI.
• A complete set (all 13 cards + a tri-fold board) is available in limited quantity through Major and MW Store.
• January 15, 2027: a third pre-sale wave with a mini acrylic plate attached. You can reserve at Animate or Gamers stores from Oct 23 through Jan 14, 2027.

Chapter 2 Streaming Starts Tomorrow

If you haven't caught the second chapter yet — it goes streaming October 17 (tomorrow) on Bandai Channel, Anime Houdou, DMM TV, d Anime Store, and Furatto Video. Perfect prep before the finale lands next winter.

Why This One Hits Different

Three movies. Four prefectures. One grand prix. The Nijigasaki story has always been about distance — literal and emotional — and closing it in Tokyo, where the series started, is the kind of full-circle structure that makes you want to scream into a pillow. I'll be there for the GPX finale. You know I will.
