Source-derived summary

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.

Background and release

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.

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, "Gunjō" from Sing Your World on March 1, and "Moshi mo Inochi ga Egaketara" and "Tsubame" from Nice to Meet You on March 8 and 23, respectively.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “The Film (video)” as 2022 video by Yoasobi. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2022 video by Yoasobi. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111737248. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2022 and 2021.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
