9-member girls group NiziU, which is sweeping the music scene, has been announced to appear in the main part of the movie "Koiwazurai no Ellie," which will be released from March 15th (Fri). The movie is based on the popular girl comic "Koiwazurai no Ellie" by Momo Fuji, which has a total circulation of 2.1 million copies, and is being made into a live-action movie starring Ruya Miyase and Nanoka Hara. The front face is a refreshing prince of the school, but in fact, Ruya Miyase plays Omi-kun, a boy with a bad mouth, and Nanoka Hara plays Ellie, a girl who loves delusions and tweets about her delusions with Omi-kun's name "Koiwazurai no Ellie" on SNS. In addition, the latest cast, Taku Nishimura, Mizuho Shiramiya, Kodai Fujimoto, and Keiei Tsuna, Yuta Ozeki, and many others will appear.

In addition to a group shot taken with the leading actors, precious off-shots of the girls wearing school uniforms have been released, and their expressions as fresh girls who are challenging acting for the first time, rather than NiziU as "artists" who usually perform on stage, are very fresh, and expectations for the release of the upcoming movie are growing. The theme song of this work, "SWEET NONFICTION," which is scheduled to be released this month, has been selected, and expectations for the movie "Koiwazurai no Ellie" are increasing. NiziU's screen debut is a must-see for fans.
