Coffee's "Wandance" releases a full trailer ahead of the film's release.

The official website of Coffee's "Wandance" releases the full trailer for the live-action film before the film's release in Japanese theaters on Friday, November 27th.

The cast for the live-action film includes Jo of &Team as Kaboku Kotani, a quiet and introspective boy with a stutter who finds confidence and self-expression through dance. He is deeply thoughtful and earnest, which makes his dance journey emotionally resonant.

Anji Ikehata as Hikari Wanda, a loud, energetic, and unapologetically individual who is obsessed with dancing and expressing individuality. She is an unconventional dancer who refuses to be boxed in by genre or technique.

The members of the Ichirin High School Dance Club: Kira Yamaguchi of Girls2 as On Miyao, the President of the Ichirin High School Dance Club who dreams of becoming a professional stage performer. Ran of Mazzel as Iori Itsukushima, a talented senior member of the Ichirin High School Dance Club and an exceptionally skilled house dancer known for his meticulous rhythm-driven footwork. He becomes a mentor and friendly rival of Kaboku Kotani.

Tsukki of XII After Hours and Valuence Infinities as Gaku Kabeya, an intense and top-tier breakdancer from Kanemitsu High School who holds great pride in breakdancing while showing disdain for other dance styles. This attitude caused a personal rift between him and his former friend, Iori Itsukushima.

Aloha Takamatsu of Choutokkyuu, or Bullet Train as Usen Takumi, the President of the Shoya High School Dance Club and a highly skilled dancer who possesses a distinctly funky, soul-driven groove. He is known for carrying a mature, seasoned presence on stage and has a unique talent for transforming playful, casual movements into highly cool, captivating choreography.

Naoya Kusabe is directing the live-action film. Together with Keiichi Kobayashi is writing the script, Charisma Kentaro is the dance supervisor, and Happinet is producing the film. &Team consists of K, Fuma, Nicholas, EJ, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki, who will perform the theme song, "For Us".

The manga series was published in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine in January 2019 and released in 15 manga volumes. It also received recognition, including a 2-time Jury Recommended Works at the Japan Media Arts Festival in 2021 and 2022, and a runner-up in the Print Manga category at the Next Manga Awards in 2020.

Kodansha USA licensed the series and released it in English, with the first manga volume released in June 2022.

It was adapted into a 12-episode anime series that aired in October 2025, and an upcoming stage play adaptation to be held in Tokyo in March 2027.
