Tokyo, Japan, 3rd Jul 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. is excited to unveil the opening movie for the anime The World Is Dancing (co-produced by CyberAgent and Shochiku), set to the opening theme song “shusho” by Macaroni Empitsu, ahead of the anime’s premiere today, July2.Set to Macaroni Empitsu’s track “shusho,” the opening movie features a visual touch distinct from the main anime, vividly transitioning from stark black-and-white into vibrant colors.

Furthermore, the staff credits featured in the sequence, including the director’s name, were handwritten by Satoshi Nemoto, who also created the calligraphy for the series’ official title lettering.Additionally, a special video message from Macaroni Empitsu has been released.
