In a few weeks, BOCCHI THE ROCK!’s Hitori and Godzilla will be sharing screens in theaters across Japan, sadly not together – though that would make an interesting team-up flick!To get pumped up for the first of two BOCCHI THE ROCK! compilation films on June 7, a brand new poster was put up on the famous Godzilla Street in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho district with Hitori breathing fire while wearing a nondescript kaiju outfit, looking up at the Godzilla head that towers over the street.

BOCCHI THE ROCK! Re: and BOCCHI THE ROCK! Re:Re: compile the TV anime season into two films with Re: opening on June 7 and Re:Re: opening on August 9.The BOCCHI THE ROCK! TV anime, based off the manga of the same name by Aki Hamaji, aired between October and December 2022 with Crunchyroll streaming the series, describing the girl band anime as such:

During her middle school years, she started playing the guitar, wanting to join a band because she thought it could be an opportunity for even someone shy like her to also shine. But because she had no friends, she ended up practicing guitar for six hours every day all by herself.
After becoming a skilled guitar player, she uploaded videos of herself playing the guitar to the internet under the name “Guitar Hero” and fantasized about performing at her school’s cultural festival concert. But not only could she not find any bandmates, before she knew it, she was in high school and still wasn’t able to make a single friend!
She was really close to becoming a shut-in, but one day, Nijika Ijichi, the drummer in Kessoku Band, reached out to her. And because of that, her everyday life started to change little by little…
