The official website for Uta no Prince-sama The Movie: TABOO NIGHT XXXX has unveiled a brand-new director’s cut trailer, offering fans an extended look into the film’s vibrant musical showcase.
Spanning five and a half minutes, the trailer is a carefully curated collection of scenes handpicked by director Akiko Seki. This exclusive clip provides a comprehensive spotlight on all 11 songs featured in the movie, including two encore performances, each delivered by the powerhouse idol group QUARTET NIGHT.
The setlist begins with “Jewelful XXXX,” a multi-part track performed by Reiji Kotobuki, Ranmaru Kurosaki, Ai Mikaze, and Camus. The performance is broken into segments titled “Seize me if you can,” “Force & Faith,” “Wandering in a maze,” and “Do you know who I’m,” each contributing to the dramatic and stylistic flair that fans have come to expect from the franchise.
Solo tracks such as Camus’s “Ice Pierrot,” Reiji’s “Zero,” Ranmaru’s “Black Panther,” and Ai’s intriguingly titled “Am I a fairy or…?” further showcase each character’s unique musical personality. Duets like “The RUN to the RAY” by Reiji and Ranmaru and “God Love Keihou Hatsurei” by Ai and Camus add depth and diversity to the lineup.
Closing out the musical journey are the group performances by QUARTET NIGHT, including “TABOO NIGHT XXXX,” “JINN-Ω-RAY,” “Heαrt Knight,” and the iconic “God’s S.T.A.R.” Each song not only reflects the members’ musical evolution but also highlights their chemistry and stage charisma.
Uta no Prince-sama – TABOO NIGHT XXXX
QUARTET NIGHT has been a central part of the Uta no Prince-sama universe since their introduction in the anime’s second season, Maji Love 2000%, which aired in 2013. They serve as the senior idol group to the main unit ST☆RISH, bringing a more mature and refined energy to the series’ musical ensemble.
This film represents the third major concert production in the franchise’s cinematic history, following Uta no Prince-sama The Movie: Maji LOVE Kingdom in 2019 and Uta no Prince-sama The Movie: Maji LOVE ST☆RISH TOUR in 2022.
TABOO NIGHT XXXX opened in 135 theaters across Japan on May 9, 2025, making a strong debut by ranking fourth at the box office during its opening weekend. It maintained its momentum into the second weekend, where it ranked sixth.
For longtime fans and newcomers alike, the director’s cut trailer serves as both a tribute and an invitation—an enticing glimpse into the high-energy, emotionally charged world of QUARTET NIGHT and a celebration of their enduring impact on the Uta no Prince-sama franchise.
The second season of Wednesday brings fresh layers of mystery and sharp wit as the storyline deepens around Nevermore Academy and its curious students. This time, the central plot surrounds a new series of events that leaves Wednesday Addams at the centre once again.
Right from the beginning, the tone feels more focused and deliberate, drawing attention to how Wednesday continues to grow in her role as both a student and an unofficial investigator. Her bond with her friends develops at a measured pace, while new characters enter the scene to stir matters further.
As the season moves forward, it becomes clear that there is a fresh threat connected to the past, and Wednesday must rely on both her instincts and her experience from the first season to piece things together.

She remains detached from emotion, yet her concern for those around her starts to show more openly through her actions rather than her words. The pace of the story does not drop, and each episode builds on the last, gradually adding to the mystery without giving away the full picture too quickly.
More moments challenge Wednesday’s sense of identity and her place among her peers. What started off as a simple investigation soon turns into something larger, touching on themes of trust, betrayal, and self-doubt.
While the storyline remains based at Nevermore, the reach of the plot expands to other areas and individuals who have a link to the academy’s shadowy past.
New Dangers and Unexpected Alliances
One of the strongest aspects of this season lies in the introduction of an unknown group that has its eyes on Wednesday. While their true aim is kept secret at first, the clues begin to mount, and Wednesday suspects that there is more at play than anyone realises.
A new student, brought in under unusual circumstances, adds another layer to the tension. His presence unsettles Wednesday, who begins to question whether she can truly trust those closest to her.
Enid and Xavier continue to stand by Wednesday’s side, though their loyalty is tested as events begin to strain their friendship. Wednesday’s sharpness and her constant need for control lead to moments of friction between them. Still, their teamwork remains vital in pushing the story forward, especially when the threat grows more personal.
Meanwhile, the mystery deepens as an old teacher returns under suspicious conditions. This figure from the past holds a secret that could destroy the fragile peace at Nevermore.
As Wednesday begins to dig into this person’s history, she discovers links between this teacher and the original Hyde attacks from season one. What follows is a careful investigation that ties the past to the present and places Wednesday in direct conflict with those she once trusted.
The Final Twist and What It Means for Wednesday
The season builds up to a major revelation that changes everything Wednesday thought she knew. Just when she feels she has figured it out, the true mastermind behind the chaos reveals themselves.
The shock of this truth leaves both the characters and viewers stunned. Unlike the first season, where the villain’s plan became clear before the final episode, this season saves its biggest moment for the very end.
Wednesday is forced to make a decision that tests her sense of duty against her values. Her choices during this moment affect her relationships, and by the end of the season, she stands in a different position from where she started. Her confidence is stronger, but so is her awareness that danger can come from even the most familiar places.
The last episode does not end with a peaceful resolution. Instead, it leaves behind a fresh mystery that suggests this is only the beginning of something larger. A message left for Wednesday hints at new threats waiting just beyond the surface, and while she may have closed one chapter, another is already taking shape.
Performance, Themes, and What to Expect Next
Jenna Ortega continues to deliver a firm and steady performance as Wednesday. Her character’s growth is subtle but noticeable, and she brings more range to the role this time. The season allows her to display both her strength and her rare moments of softness, giving her more depth than before.

The themes of loyalty, secrecy, and self-discovery remain at the centre of the show. While there are still plenty of dark and witty moments, the story also digs into the idea of belonging and whether someone like Wednesday can ever truly find peace among others. The visual style stays true to the dark tone set in the first season, but with even sharper details and stronger tension in every frame.
Supporting characters are given more screen time, with Enid taking on a more active role in several key parts of the story. Xavier also grows into a more complex character, dealing with his past actions and what they mean for his future.
The adults in the series, especially the teachers and heads of Nevermore, remain guarded in their intentions, making it difficult to tell where their loyalties lie.
The second season leaves room for more. With the final scene teasing a new puzzle and a fresh danger approaching, it is clear that Wednesday’s story is far from over.
The show continues to combine mystery, dark humour, and teenage drama in a way that keeps the attention steady from one episode to the next. Viewers can expect even deeper stories if another season follows, as the door has been left open for more challenges and new enemies.
Wednesday Season 2 will be out on Netflix on August 6, 2025; meanwhile, season one is available to stream on Netflix .
