The Pony Canyon YouTube channel has released a music video for The Quintessential Quintuplets movie‘s theme song “Gotoubun no Kiseki,” which features various scenes from the film. The one-and-a-half minute video was uploaded on May 20, the same date as the movie’s premiere in Japan.
The “Gotoubun no Kiseki” EP is set to release on May 25. The song, as well as the movie’s ending song “Gotoubun no Hanayome ~Arigatou no Hana~,” have been pre-released on several music streaming sites. The Nakano quintuplets are credited with the vocals for both songs as Nakanoke no Itsutsugo.
The Quintessential Quintuplets movie is a sequel to the anime series which began in 2019. The story revolves around the characters’ school festival, with Futaro having an important announcement for the quintuplets on the festival’s first day.

Uesugi Fuutarou, a high school second-year from a poor family, receives a highly appealing offer to work part-time as a tutor… but his students turn out to be girls from his own class! What’s more, they’re quintuplets… and all five are beautiful, but happen to be problem students who have borderline grades and hate studying! Looks like his first assignment will be to win all the sisters’ trust?! Every day is a wild party in this rom-com centering around the quintuplet sisters of the Nakano household!
