Witch on the Holy Night's final trailer brings back supercell, with Nagi Yanagi singing "Yoru to Ao"
ufotable's film of the TYPE-MOON visual novel debuted its last pre-release trailer on September 30, revealing a supercell theme song and the full staff ahead of the November 20 Japanese opening.
A song by supercell closed out the original game more than a decade ago, and the band is back for its movie. ufotable's Witch on the Holy Night picked "Yoru to Ao" (Night and Blue) as its theme, a track ryo handled from top to bottom as songwriter and arranger, with Nagi Yanagi out front on vocals. Listeners can hear it under the final trailer, which Aniplex aired on Wednesday, September 30.
That 90-second spot debuted on a livestreamed info program hosted on Aniplex's YouTube channel, and everything in it is footage nobody had seen before. It is billed as the last trailer before release. Two of the lead actresses joined the broadcast: Haruka Tomatsu, cast as Aoko Aozaki, and Kana Hanazawa, cast as Alice Kuonji.
From 2012 game to 2026 film
Kinoko Nasu, the writer most associated with Fate/stay night and Tsukihime, penned the TYPE-MOON visual novel this adapts. It reached Japanese players in April 2012; overseas readers waited a decade for an English localization in December 2022, and a PC version on Steam followed a year later. Its closing song back then was also by supercell: "Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni".
The setting is Misaki, a town at the tail end of the 1980s, just before the Showa period gave way. Aoko takes up residence in an aging mansion that locals whisper is a witch's home, and the girl living there, Alice, becomes her teacher in magic. Yusuke Kobayashi completes the main trio as Soujuurou Shizuki.
Who is making it
The trailer arrived with a complete crew roster. Hikaru Kondo leads as chief director over director Masaru Takeuchi, and the screenplay is credited to ufotable as a studio. Composer Hideyuki Fukasawa, who wrote the game's soundtrack, returns to score the film. Hirokazu Koyama, the game's original character artist, drew a fresh character visual released alongside the video.
The studio's earlier work includes Demon Slayer and Fate/Zero. In Japan, Toho and Aniplex share distribution duties.
When it opens
Domestic audiences get it on Friday, November 20, 2026. International screenings begin the following January; for North America, Crunchyroll is partnering with Sony Pictures Entertainment on a January 29 opening, offering both a subtitled cut and an English dub.
