The Film is the first video album by Japanese duo Yoasobi. It was released on March 23, 2022, through Sony Music Entertainment Japan, on Blu-ray exclusively. It consists of the duo's 2021 three concerts: Keep Out Theater, Sing Your World, and Nice to Meet You (day 2); and the enlarged version of their episode of documentary program Jōnetsu Tairiku, broadcast in December 2021. The Film debuted atop both the Oricon Blu-ray Disc Chart, and the Music DVD and Blu-ray Chart, selling 21,000 copies in its first week.[1]

Background and release[edit]

On January 26, 2022, Yoasobi announced to release the video album, titled The Film, on March 23. It contains two Blu-ray discs on bookbinder of the duo's three concert films–the first livestream concert, Keep Out Theater; the collaboration with Uniqlo's UT free livestream concert, Sing Your World; and the second day of their first in-person concert Nice to Meet You, as well as unreleased footage from for the Yoasobi episode of Jōnetsu Tairiku, a MBS TV documentary program which aired on December 12, 2021. It also included a photobook taken during the concerts.[2][3]

To commemorate the release, the duo teased three concerts by four performances uploaded via YouTube: "Ano Yume o Nazotte" from Keep Out Theater on February 15,[4] "Gunjō" from Sing Your World on March 1,[5] and "Moshi mo Inochi ga Egaketara" and "Tsubame" from Nice to Meet You on March 8 and 23, respectively.[6][7]
