The Special Bonus And Tickets
Everyone attending at Shinjuku Piccadilly or one of the live viewing theaters will receive a new edition of the "President Oumae Message Photo," an 89mm by 127mm photo carrying a message from Kumiko, the band's president, tied to the national competition.

About Sound! Euphonium, The Final Movie
The Final Movie is the closing chapter of Kyoto Animation's Sound! Euphonium, which has followed the Kitauji High School Concert Band since its TV debut in 2015. It brings the story of Sound! Euphonium 3, which aired in 2024, to theaters in 2 parts, with brushed-up animation, a new script by Jukki Hanada and new scenes, including performances not shown in the TV series. Part 2 opened on September 11, 2026, and Part 1 is now streaming in Japan after its Blu-ray and DVD release on September 2.
Tatsuya Ishihara, who has led the series at Kyoto Animation for a decade, is chief director, and Taichi Ogawa directs. The films are based on Ayano Takeda's Final Movement novel, published by Takarajimasha, with music by Akito Matsuda and distribution by Shochiku. TRUE performs Part 1's theme, "ToCoda," and Part 2 closes with "ReCoda (The Final Movie Ver.)" by TRUE and the Kitauji High School Concert Band.
In Part 2, the band heads into its school festival after making it to nationals, where Mayu's belief in performances that everyone can enjoy clashes with Kitauji's merit-based system. Kumiko, now president, works toward her goals of winning gold at nationals and playing the soli alongside Reina, until audition day arrives to decide who plays at the national competition.
