The unprecedented box office phenomenon Chiikawa Movie: Secret of the Mermaid Island (Eiga Chiikawa: Ningyo no Shima no Himitsu) continues its historic run, treating audiences to a brand-new second main visual highlighting an emotional scene from the feature film. Following its premiere on July 24, 2026, the adaptation of Nagano's beloved creation has smashed box office records, clinching the number one spot for 2026 releases with a staggering 17.2 billion yen and over 11.78 million admissions recorded within 75 days.
The newly unveiled visual captures Chiikawa, Hachiware, and the islanders Hitoha and Futaba gathered beneath a starry night sky, illuminated by the warm glow of a campfire. In the background, characters including Usagi, Shima-jiro, Rakko, Momonga, Furuhonya, Kurimanju, and Shisa share cheerful moments side by side, emphasizing the heartwarming camaraderie at the core of the franchise.
Alongside the visual reveal, production committees confirmed that the sixth round of theatrical visitor bonuses will launch on October 10. Moviegoers will receive one of two collectible charm mini-figures, though limited quantities mean rapid distribution is widely anticipated.
Furthermore, due to high demand that caused earlier visitor gifts to vanish from theaters quickly, organizers announced a revival distribution campaign scheduled for later in the year. The upcoming revival wave will bring back select items including the third-wave siren goods and fourth-wave charm figures, giving fans another opportunity to complete their collections. Exact dates and implementation details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
