Why it matters

Disney is building a documentary around one Japanese singer's attachment to its own High School Musical films, a narrower and more personal use of the Disney+ platform than a concert film or tour special.

The documentary centers on ikura and her experience with Disney's High School Musical films. Disney streamed a trailer for the Japanese version, Ikuta Lilas Dreams & Memories, which debuted on November 7, along with a video of ikura covering "Start of Something New" from the 2006 film.

The Japanese version, Ikuta Lilas Dreams & Memories, already has a trailer that went out on November 7. The December 30 date covers both the Disney+ stream and a Disney Channel airing, so the two-part program lands on the linear channel and the service on the same day.

Ikuta records and performs as ikura in YOASOBI, the duo with composer Ayase. The pair are on their SUPER PLANET tour, which the announcement lists for Japan, Asia, and now Australia, and they have released a new song, "KILLA," with a live performance video.
