Under the direction of Kenji Yamauchi, a unique genius who transcends genres in CMs, movies, and stage performances, a star-studded cast including Inagaki Goro, Kusano Go, and Katori Shingo has come together to create a new movie that is "interesting because it's confusing, and interesting even though it's confusing."

On this occasion, "ABEMA PPV" will host a special event commemorating the release of the movie, featuring the full cast of "BANA_ANA," where anything can happen, along with the screening of the movie, for one night only. Inagaki Goro, Kusano Go, Katori Shingo, and other unique, star-studded cast members, along with director Kenji Yamauchi, will gather. What will happen in this one-hour event?! We will live-stream the entire unpredictable special event. After the event, we will screen the movie "BANA_ANA" for the first time in the world.
