Friday, May 3, 2024 saw the official YouTube channel for TOHO animation upload a new music video collaboration for the Haikyu Final movie’s first part, entitled Battle at the Garbage Dump.

The music video features scenes of various characters in the film from both the Kurasuno High and Nekoma High volleyball teams, as well as scenes from their match shown in the film.

The music video is set to the Haikyu Final movie’s opening theme song, which is titled “Orange” and is performed by musical group SPYAIR. While the video does feature some scenes from the film, it’s largely spoiler-free, considering not enough context is given to these scenes to actually spoil prospective viewers on anything.

This is especially significant considering that the Haikyu Final movie will be releasing internationally over the next few weeks, starting on May 30 in select areas worldwide.

By June 27, the film will have been released in nearly every global territory. The film originally debuted in Japanese theaters on Friday, February 16, 2024.

As of April 12, since premiering in Japan on February 16, the film has sold a cumulative total of 6,483,000 tickets for 9,267,707,450 yen, which is roughly $60.63 million.

1.529 million of these tickets and 2,230,465,540 yen (roughly $14.83 million) came from the film’s first three days of screening. This performance allowed the film to surpass Mobile Suit Gundam Seed FREEDOM as the biggest opening weekend for a film in Japan this year.

The Haikyu Final movie is a two-part film project which intends to conclude the anime series following the first four seasons. The anime serves as an adaptation of author and illustrator Haruichi Furudata’s original Haikyu!! manga series, which began in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in February 2012 and concluded in July 2020.
