Ghost – End of Night trailer confirms more cast and staff
Bandai Namco Filmworks' new trailer adds cast, staff and music details for Shingo Natsume's Ghost – End of Night, due in Japan in February 2027.
Bandai Namco Filmworks has released a new trailer for Ghost – End of Night, confirming additional cast, staff and music details for Shingo Natsume's original theatrical anime film. The film is scheduled to open in Japan on 11 February 2027.1
The newly confirmed cast includes Takeo Ōtsuka as Bora, Kazuhiro Yamaji as Ahab, Yūki Shin as Structure, Hina Yomiya as Mike and Atsumi Tanezaki as Masu's son. The announcement also credits assistant director Keita Nagasaka, art director Yukiko Maruyama, editor Kashiko Kimura, sound director Shōji Hata and composer Ōzora Kimishima.12
The music details are unusually prominent in the trailer announcement. hitsujibungaku performs the theme song “life” and also contributes the insert song “Sugar”. Natsume directs and writes the screenplay at Madhouse, with original character designs by Natsume Ono and animation character designs by Norifumi Kugai.1
The film's Japanese title is 映画『ghost／夜の果て』. Its official synopsis places the story in a near-future society where labour is no longer necessary, following Neekei as she searches for what is real while resisting a society shaped by content. Bandai Namco Filmworks is handling distribution.1
No international release date, UK or US distributor, streaming service or wider territory availability has been confirmed in the available announcement. The 11 February date should therefore be treated as a Japanese theatrical release date, not a global launch.12
The official Bandai Namco Filmworks trailer is embedded below and its thumbnail supplies the hero image. The thumbnail depicts the film's central visual and carries the Japanese trailer label, while the headline and standfirst use the English title for searchability.
Our opinion
This is a promisingly specific update rather than a vague promotional tease: the trailer adds named cast, staff and music credits, while the release information remains carefully limited to Japan. That makes the February date useful without pretending the film has a confirmed route to UK, US or streaming audiences yet.
