Live Voice Acting by Kenshō Ono & Reina Ueda and a Live Performance by [Alexandros]! Guerrilla Event Report for 'Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway'

On Friday, January 30, 2026, 'Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe' will be released in theaters nationwide. This film is positioned as the second chapter of a trilogy that continues from 'Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway,' which was released in 2021.

The protagonist, Hathaway Noa, begins to operate in earnest as Mafty Navue Erin, the leader of the anti-Earth Federation government movement "Mafty," but his struggles as he becomes captivated by the image of Gigi Andalucia, a mysterious beautiful girl he met in the first chapter, are depicted through powerful visuals.

On Sunday, January 18, ahead of the film's release, the "Senkou no 'Senkou' Rally" was held as a guerrilla event at Kabukicho Cine City Square to commemorate the upcoming release of 'The Sorcery of Nymph Circe.' This article reports on the venue-exclusive live voice acting by Kenshō Ono, who plays Hathaway, and Reina Ueda, who plays Gigi, as well as the live performance by [Alexandros], the artist who performed the first chapter's theme song that generated much buzz.

Before the start of the "Senkou no 'Senkou' Rally," a post titled "Senkou no Senkou Activities" was made on the film's official social media. In the first chapter, a pumpkin-headed terrorist claiming to be Mafty appeared, attacking the passenger plane where Hathaway and Gigi met, and the post featured a mysterious person mimicking that pumpkin head. They declared that a rally would be held at a certain location from 7:00 PM on Sunday, January 18.

With an estimated 4,000 fans gathering at the venue, the "Senkou no 'Senkou' Rally" began. During the talk corner with Ono and Ueda on stage, regarding the imminent release of 'The Sorcery of Nymph Circe' after approximately five years since the previous film, Ono commented, "I'm filled with the feeling of 'Thank you for waiting!' There's so much I want to say, but I can't say it yet (because it's before the release). I'm really looking forward to the reactions of those who watch it."

Ueda referred to the feedback about Gigi that was received after the first chapter's release, stating, "It was striking how the reactions were polarized between those who thought Gigi was cute and those who thought 'You little...' I felt that such aspects are part of Gigi's charm. I'm looking forward to what kind of feedback we'll receive this time."
