The highly anticipated film, Daisanpen TAROMAN Banpaku Daibakuhatsu, is currently captivating audiences across Japan! And for those eager to delve deeper into its peculiar world, a third round of special theatrical attendance gifts has been announced. Starting September 5th, moviegoers will receive a “Theater-limited Nonsense Movie Ticket” at participating cinemas nationwide. But that’s not all – the film’s official X (formerly Twitter) account is also running a campaign where you can win even more outrageous merchandise!
What is Daisanpen TAROMAN Banpaku Daibakuhatsu?
Daisanpen TAROMAN Banpaku Daibakuhatsu is a cinematic adaptation of TAROMAN Okamoto Tarou Shiki Tokusatsu Kakugyo. This acclaimed series was crafted with the intriguing premise of a “tokusatsu hero show broadcast in the 1970s,” drawing its inspiration from the profound words and artistic works of Okamoto Tarou. The fusion of Okamoto Tarou’s iconic art with the vibrant world of tokusatsu, representing “Japan’s pinnacle of art meets entertainment,” has generated considerable buzz and fascination.
The film’s narrative isn’t just confined to the year 1970; it daringly leaps forward to 2025, unleashing even more outlandishness across time. However, this isn’t our present-day 2025. Instead, the story unfolds in a 2025 envisioned during the 1970s, fondly referred to as “Showa 100 nen.” Imagine a futuristic metropolis with geometric buildings, automobiles gracefully soaring through transparent pipes, and even cities in communion with outer space! It’s the kind of fantastical future that made children’s eyes sparkle and hearts race back in the Showa era, and it’s in this wonderfully anachronistic setting that Taroman valiantly battles on.
Explosive Box Office Success!
Since its grand premiere on August 22nd, Daisanpen TAROMAN Banpaku Daibakuhatsu has taken the box office by storm! Drawing a diverse audience including families, friends, children, young adults, and even seniors, the film achieved phenomenal success right from the start. In its opening three days, it garnered an impressive 33,000 attendees and raked in over 50 million yen in box office revenue.
The film has been particularly popular in major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, which shares a special connection with the iconic Taiyou no Tou (Tower of the Sun). These regions boasted high occupancy rates, ranging from 70% to 80%. Its critical acclaim is equally impressive, having secured the top spot in Filmarks’ “First Day Satisfaction Ranking for Movies Released in the 4th Week of August.” This incredible momentum shows no signs of slowing down, with cumulative box office earnings surpassing 100 million yen by August 31st.
Theater-Limited Nonsense Movie Tickets and Special Campaigns!
As a special third round of attendance gifts, moviegoers will receive a “Theater-limited Nonsense Movie Ticket” from September 5th to September 11th. What makes these tickets so delightfully absurd? They are for completely fictitious movies, bearing no relation whatsoever to Daisanpen TAROMAN Banpaku Daibakuhatsu! These unique tickets are a fantastic keepsake, perhaps to be tucked away in your movie pamphlet, just in case one of these “nonsense” films ever magically appears on screen. Be sure to grab yours quickly, as these are limited edition and will only be distributed while supplies last.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! The film’s official X account is hosting the “Berabou Kansou Dai Toukou Campaign” (Outrageous Impression Grand Submission Campaign) until September 12th. This is your chance to share your most outlandish and creative thoughts on the film! Twenty lucky participants will win ultra-rare merchandise actually used in the movie, such as “TAROMAN’s Horns” or even “TAROMAN’s Skin.” Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute your “outrageous impressions” and perhaps snag a piece of Taroman history!
