Big news for fans of Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-! The highly anticipated 11th live event, Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- 11th LIVE≪Final D.R.B≫, is set to take place in September and October 2025. But that’s not all – the movie, affectionately known as Hypumubi (Movie Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-), will also be exclusively broadcast on ABEMA, and an 8th anniversary cafe is in the works. Get ready for a packed schedule of exciting developments!
For those who may be new to the world of Hypnosis Mic, it’s a character rap project based on original music that kicked off in September 2017. The story follows a vibrant cast of 18 unique characters divided into 6 teams, engaging in intense rap battles. What makes it stand out is the involvement of leading rappers and trackmakers from the Japanese hip-hop scene as creators. Voice actors perform these diverse tracks, weaving together character stories through the power of music.
The first cinematic adaptation, Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-, made waves as Japan’s first interactive movie, where the outcome of the rap battles on screen was decided by real-time audience votes in the theater. It’s been a massive hit and is still showing, having surpassed 1.75 billion yen in box office revenue and attracted over 720,000 attendees.
This fresh wave of announcements came during the ABEMA broadcast of Hypumubi the Party! Natsu mo Joohou mo Sakidori Special! (Hypumubi the Party! Summer and Information Ahead of the Curve Special!), aired to celebrate the movie’s music collection album, MIC AS ONE, which drops on June 11.
