The 'Paprika 4K UHD + Blu-ray Set' is officially scheduled for release on Wednesday, September 9, 2026. Directed by Satoshi Kon, based on the novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui, and produced by Madhouse, this masterpiece is reborn with 4K remastering and Dolby Atmos/Dolby TrueHD 7.1ch audio. The package features a mirror-finish design inspired by the themes of 'mirrors' and 'duality,' allowing the viewer's own reflection to subtly distort, enhancing the immersive experience. The set includes a replica of the original recording script, interviews with 4K restoration technicians, and new trailers. Early pre-order bonuses, including original film strips, are available at participating retailers such as Amazon.co.jp, along with various store-exclusive benefits. Additionally, Amazon is hosting a lottery for a signed autograph board by Megumi Hayashibara. Furthermore, starting August 7 (Fri), a nationwide theatrical expansion of the 4K remastered version will be held through the Filmarks revival screening project.
