The results of the audience vote for the movie 'Hypnosis Mic' can now be viewed on the official website, with consecutive wins recorded in Shibuya, Shinjuku, Yokohama, Nagoya, and other locations.

The movie ' Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- ', which has been released nationwide since Friday, February 21, 2025, claims to be Japan's first 'interactive movie' in theaters, and the results of the rap battles in the film are decided in real time by audience votes. Since there are seven divisions in the film, there are seven different endings, and you can check which battles took place in which theaters and how they ended on the 'Voting Status' page on the official website.

The site can be viewed on both PC and smartphone.

The names of the regions are listed in the 'THEATER LIST' section next to the map, so click or tap on the region you want to see.

On each regional page, theaters showing the film are listed by prefecture.

The individual theater pages look like this, with the voting results for the first round of the latest screening, FIRST STAGE, displayed in the center. You can move to other theater information from THEATER LIST on the left. You can move to the voting results up to the FINAL STAGE using the five ○ icons on the right, and you can see the voting results of past screenings in 'PAST RESULT' below. For example, at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya, Buster Bros!!! beat Bad Ass Temple 59% to 41% in the first round of FIRST STAGE, a screening close to the time of writing.

In the SECOND STAGE, Buster Bros!!!, MAD TRIGGER CREW, and Matenro clashed, with Matenro emerging victorious with 40% of the votes.

In the FINAL STAGE, the Chuo District won the battle with 42% to 58%.

Looking at the past results from 'PAST RESULTS', it looks like this. You can see that it is a fierce battleground where the winners change every time.

However, it is interesting to see different trends depending on the theater. As was posted on the official X

, on the first day at Shibuya Humax Cinema, Fling Posse, the representative of the Shibuya Division, won all of their tickets. They continued their winning streak on the 22nd.

At Shinjuku Piccadilly, Matenro, representing the Shinjuku Division, is showing his strength.

At Yokohama Burg 13 and T-Joy Yokohama, MAD TRIGGER CREW, representing the Yokohama Division, won consecutive matches.

Similarly, Nagoya Midland Square Cinema was the home of Nagoya Division representative Bad Ass Temple.

At TOHO Cinemas Ikebukuro, Buster Bros!!!, the representative of the Ikebukuro Division, tends to be strong, but on Saturday, February 22nd, Bad Ass Temple garnered overwhelming support for their show, perhaps due to their 'invading enemy territory to give a speech on stage.'

Dotsuitare Honpo, the representative of the Osaka Division, has tended to have a higher winning rate at movie theaters in the Kansai region, such as TOHO Cinemas Umeda and TOHO Cinemas Namba.

If you really want to see that division win, it might be a good idea to go to a cinema with a higher chance of winning.

By the way, the interview article with Director Takanori Tsujimoto and Producer Ryo Nakaoka conducted before the movie's release is below. I hope it will be of some use to those who have not seen the movie yet and those who have already seen it.
