As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for the quirky and unconventional, I must confess that Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- has swiftly become one of my favorite idol franchises. With its unique blend of dystopian lore, J-Rap battles, and bishounen-style characters, it’s a breath of fresh air in the often stagnant world of anime and gacha games.
Despite having a small but intense fanbase primarily within hardcore idol anime circles, Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- stands out as one of the most intriguing, quirky, and imaginative concepts for an idol series in many years. Originating from a mobile game, Hypnosis Mic has expanded into various manga adaptations and a 26-episode anime produced by A-1 Pictures. Similar to other Japanese fictional idol franchises, Hypnosis Mic boasts an incredibly talented voice cast that brings the story’s main characters to life. Now, this series is breaking new ground with the release of Japan’s inaugural interactive film.
The movie titled “Release Date: February 21, 2024” offers an innovative twist – it boasts three different conclusions! Audience members will get to witness these endings unfold in real-time based on fan polls conducted via smartphones. The film is under the direction of Takanori Tsujimoto (recognized for his work on “Resident Evil: Vendetta”), collaborating with Polygon Pictures. Yuichiro Momose, who played a significant role in establishing the franchise’s world, plot, characters, and game events, has penned the movie’s script. Kazui, known as the character designer for the series, is back to work on this film adaptation. TOHO NEXT will be responsible for distributing the movie upon its release.

In the primary plot of “Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-“, we find ourselves in a post-conflict dystopia where women rule every aspect of government and politics. They’ve outlawed all weapons, leading men to engage in intense rap battles, utilizing gadgets known as Hypnosis Mics. These devices can manipulate people’s emotions and thoughts. The story takes a turn when the legendary rap group, The Dirty Dawg, splits into distinct rap crews, each symbolizing various districts of Tokyo, Japan, and they clash in territorial disputes using their Hypnosis Mic powers. Interestingly, the characters in this game-based franchise are visually appealing, following the popular bishounen style.
The primary cast of Hypnosis Mic comprises six distinct groups: Buster Bros!!! (from Ikebukuro), MAD TRIGGER CREW (Yokohama), Fling Posse (Shibuya), Matenro (Shinjuku), Dotsuitare Hompo (Osaka), and Bad Ass Temple (Nagoya). Upon its debut in 2018, the game garnered immense popularity due to its one-of-a-kind and quirky nature. The official Twitter account rapidly gained traction as the most popular and interactive account on Japanese Twitter at launch. Units from this franchise also took over Oricon charts, and with Japan’s first ever interactive animated film Hypnosis Microphone set to premiere, it continues to demonstrate its ability to innovate within the realms of anime and related content.
