The official website for the the upcoming The IDOLM@STER film, THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE: Kagayaki no Mukōgawa e! (The IDOLM@STER Movie: To the Glittering Other Side!), updated on Saturday, and began streaming a new promotional video for the film.
Not only does the promotional video inform viewers that the producer is working his very hardest to help the idols prepare themselves at a training camp for their upcoming arena concert, he also reveals that there are new girls joining the team as back-up dancers for the arena concert.

In addition, the theme songs for the film were also announced. The main theme song for the film will be “M@STERPIECE,” the ending theme of the film will be “Niji-iro Miracle” (Rainbow-Colored Miracle, and “Ramune Iro Seishun” (Ramune-Colored Youth) will serve as an insert song. All songs will be performed by the 765PRO ALLSTARS. The website also updated with a new key visual (seen above).
The staff will be same as that from the second television series, including the anime studio A-1 Pictures, writers Atsushi Nishigori and Tatsuya Takahashi, and director/character designer Atsushi Nishigori.
The film will premiere in Japanese theaters on January 25, 2014. Those who pre-order their tickets for the film from LAWSON's Loppi service on November 24 will receive a limited edition new, original drama CD and illustration with it (illustration seen at right).
