The upcoming live-action adaptation of Coffee’s manga Wandance has unveiled a new trailer which includes the film’s theme song, “For us” by &TEAM. The film will premiere in Japan on November 27.
The trailer is available here:
Naoya Kusaba will direct, with Keiichi Kobayashi writing the script and Charisma Kantarō supervising the dancing. Cast include JO (a member of &TEAM) as protagonist Kaboku Kotani and Anji Ikehata as Hikari Wanda. Also featured are Kira Yamaguchi as On Miyao, RAN Mazzel as Iori Itsukushima, TSUKKI as Gaku Kabeya, and Aloha Takamatsu as Usen Takumi.
Coffee started writing the Wandance manga in 2019. Kodansha describes the series as follows:
Kaboku Kotani is starting high school, and he plans to do what he’s always done: go along with his friends, keep quiet, and not to draw too much attention to himself. After all, it’s hard enough to get by with a stutter like his—why make things worse by standing out from the crowd? But then he sees another first-year, Hikari Wanda, dancing like no one is watching—or like she doesn’t care who sees her. It makes Kaboku wonder: Could he reach that same freedom? To find his way to Wanda, he does something he never thought he could: He joins the dance club. After all, every routine begins with a single step, right?
Join Kaboku and Wanda as they freestyle their way to life and love!
An anime adaptation released in October 2025 with Michiya Katō directing the series at Madhouse and Cyclone Graphics Inc.
