Kia Asamiya is in his 40th year in the industry, with a December 25, 2026 Blu-ray box set for the Silent Möbius films and new art for the seventh Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199 film, which opens in Japan on October 30.
Kia Asamiya is having a milestone year. The Silent Möbius theatrical films, released in 1991 and 1992, get their first domestic Blu-ray box set on December 25, 2026. The Anniversary Premium Box includes both films, a framed reproduction of new art by Asamiya, a three-sided box, and a booklet, priced at 22,000 yen. The release is timed to his 40th year in the industry and the first film's 35th anniversary.
Asamiya also contributes to the Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199 series. The seventh film, titled Nijiiro no Rinne (Rainbow-Colored Reincarnation), opens in Japan on October 30. A teaser visual by Asamiya was unveiled, and the sixth film, Aoi Meikyū (Blue Labyrinth), opened on June 26.
Together, the two stories show Asamiya active across both his own franchise and an established sci-fi series, with the Blu-ray box marking a first for the Silent Möbius films on domestic home video.
