Creepy Nuts, the two-member hip-hop unit of R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga, will release their first live documentary film on November 20. Titled "Creepy Nuts - North America Tour: LIVE in NY & Documentary Film," the movie documents the group's recent overseas push, including their April 2026 performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and their first solo live show in New York. The documentary also covers the rest of their first North America tour, which visited Chicago and Mexico. Hiroya Brian Nakano, who has long handled Creepy Nuts' photography and video work, directs. The film is not a live viewing release but a standalone documentary reconstructing a series of overseas activities into a single work. The announcement follows a period of rapid growth for the duo, whose 2024 single "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" surpassed 900 million cumulative global streams. In 2025 they played Tokyo Dome and toured five Asian cities. After the North America tour, they are scheduled to join The Weeknd's Asia tour from September, and they will start a domestic arena tour in February 2027.
The documentary pulls footage from two separate events: the Coachella set and the first-ever solo New York show, which is a two-member unit consisting of R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga. The New York performance airs on WOWOW Prime and WOWOW On Demand from 21:00 on August 29. The film itself is not a live-viewing release, but a reconstruction of a series of overseas activities into a single work.
Director Hiroya Brian Nakano has long produced Creepy Nuts' creative output in photography and video. He also handled retouching on a promotional photo of the duo, credited alongside photographer umihayato.
The film follows a run of recent milestones. After "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" passed 900 million cumulative global streams, the duo's later singles "Otonoke" and "Mirage" helped them achieve the first-ever top three sweep on the Billboard Global Japan Songs Excl. Japan chart. Their 2025 Asia tour covered 7 performances in 5 cities before the April 2026 Coachella appearance in California.
After the North America tour, the duo is scheduled to make guest appearances at 11 shows across Asia during The Weeknd's global stadium tour starting in September. Domestically, they plan the national arena tour "Creepy Nuts ONEMAN TOUR 2027" from February 2027, with 12 performances in Sendai, Fukuoka, Tokyo, Aichi, Niigata, Hokkaido, Hyogo, and Saitama, expected to draw about 120,000 attendees.
