Theme Song Revealed for In the Clear Moonlit Dusk Live-Action Film Trailer
There is exciting news for fans of In the Clear Moonlit Dusk (Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki): the new trailer for the live-action film adaptation has arrived, along with its theme song. Released on July 8, 2026, the trailer gives us our first look at the track titled 'Moonlit,' performed by the Japanese idol group Naniwa Danshi.
The trailer showcases key scenes from the fairy-tale romance between Yoi and Ichimura, while the romantic and melancholic tone of the song 'Moonlit' adds depth to the narrative. The members of Naniwa Danshi stated that the lyrics of the song, composed specifically for this project, reflect the spirit of the manga.
As a reminder, Mika Yamamori's manga of the same name has been serialized in Dessert magazine since 2020 and has gained a massive fan base, reaching over 2 million copies in print. The story follows the unexpected romance between two young people from different worlds—the gyaru-styled Yoi and the noble-born Ichimura. The manga is particularly noted for its character development and emotional depth.
While the director of the live-action film has not yet been officially announced, we know that the lead actors were revealed in recent months. It was previously shared that Nanase Nishino (former Nogizaka46 member) will play the role of Yoi, and Kaito will play the role of Ichimura. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in Japan in the fall of 2026.
This development is a major source of excitement, especially for readers who follow the manga. Although live-action adaptations are often debated, the visual quality in the trailer and the music by Naniwa Danshi signal that the film will successfully capture the emotional tone of the source material. New details about the film, and perhaps a new trailer, are expected in the coming weeks.
