What Is Animmersive Live, a New Form of Stage? Press Preview Report on Belle - PROJECT LAYRA - Featuring miwa's Performance

miwa, who said she loves Hosoda's films, commented, "As the staging on the screen and the real stage merged, I found it difficult to express how to play the role, but I gave it my all. I would be delighted if you could rewatch the original work before coming and enjoy the sense of immersion."

Hosoda, who watched the performance for the first time as a member of the audience, said, "It was different from a concert, a musical, or a play. It was a show that seemed to blend them all, and it was a fresh and fascinating experience. With Summer Wars and Belle, I made works about the real world and the internet, but I felt that this live show opens up a newly expanded world that lies beyond them."

Be sure to experience for yourself what this new form of expression, Animmersive Live, in which the world of an anime work and the real world are fused together, is really like.
