Story introduction:

Hana, Hinata, Noa, Koyori, and Kanon are always good friends. Today, they are having a friendly sweets party at home with Miyako’s homemade sweets! The flower-shaped cookies look just like the hair ornaments worn by Hana. The hair ornament was a precious treasure that Hana received from her grandmother when she was little, and everyone was intrigued by the story. And as “practice for the school trip,” they decide to go visit Hana’s grandmother’s house…! The “first” outing for everyone is about to begin♪

It was also announced that the film’s yet-titled theme song will be sung by the five-member voice actress unit Wataten☆5, and that their second live concert is decided to be held.

The unit consists of the five voice cast members who played the girls of elementary school age in the anime franchise – Maria Sashide (Hana Shirosaki), Rika Nagae (Hinata Hoshino), Akari Kito (Noa Himesaka), Hitomi Ohwada (Koyori Tanemura), and Naomi Ozora (Kanon Konomori). They performed the TV anime’s OP song “Kimama na Tenshi-tachi” and ED song “Happy Happy Friends.”
