One property that has done well over the past several years is the Sound! Euphonium work. We saw the third season arrive in 2024, as we had some theatrical work and OVA material before that as well, and back in March 2025, a final movie was announced for 2026.
The film was set with an April 24th, 2026, premiere date, and with the film clocking in at two hours, we learned at the time that the second part was set with a September 11th, 2026, release date. Now, the production is putting a bit more out there to get people excited for it as a new trailer and key visual has dropped below. The trailer has a couple of language options as well, including English.
The property is based on the novel by Ayana Takeda. After originally being talked about back in October 2014, it was formalized that Tatsuya Ishihara is directing the series based on scripts by Hukki Hanada, while Shoko Ikeda is handling the character designs for it.
The series stars Tomoyo Kurosawa as Kumiko Omae, Ayaka Asai as Hazuki Kato, Moe Toyota Sapphire Kawashima, Chika Anzai as Reina Kosaka, Minako Kotobuki as Asuka Tanaka, Saori Hayami as Haruka Ogasawara, Minori Chihara as Kaori Nakaseko, Haruki Ishiya as Shūichi Takamoto, Takahiro Sakurai as Noboru Taki, Kenjiro Tsuda as Takuya Goto, Miyuki Kobori as Nashiko Nagase, Konomi Fujimura as Natsuki Nakagawa, Yuri Yamaoka as Yuko Yoshikawa, Yoko Hikasa as Aoi Saito, Manami Numakura as Mamiko Oumae and Aya Hisakawa as Michie Matsumoto.
Plot concept: Sound! Euphonium tells the story of Kitauji’s High School’s music club, a top-level club that had fallen from the ranks after their adviser changed. However, a new advisor has come to whip the musicians back up to shape. In their first year of high school, Kumiko Oumae, and her classmates Hazuki and Sapphire go to see the brass band club. Kumiko decides to join the club and continue playing the euphonium until she sees her middle school classmate Reina. After remembering an incident that happened during a middle school brass band competition with Reina, she hesitates.
