There is roughly a month and a half until the movie’s release, and now the first trailer has been posted. The girls of idol unit “Wake Up, Girls!” are currently in the middle of their second live tour, and this trailer was shown for the very first time at their Tokyo show on Aug. 8.
The trailer is packed at over a minute long. It shows the girls of “Wake Up, Girls!” performing in Tokyo. It includes tons from the current idol culture including mini concerts at events, selling CDs, and more. It’s certainly enough to heighten anticipation for the movie.
