The feature film Top Swords Couple (Teppen no Ken), a kendo story starring Kii Kitano and Kanata Hongo, is available to watch online for the first time, in the original Japanese version and with English subtitles. The rental is a reward in the READYFOR crowdfunding campaign of the Teppen Kendo Festival, the hands-on kendo event held at Tokyo Tower on October 3, 2026. Support of ¥2,000 (plus a system fee) gets you a 5-day online rental of the film and a thank-you email with a report from the festival. The rental can be used within 6 months of being issued. The campaign closes on November 2 at 23:00 Japan time. The organisers have not decided when the film will be offered for online rental again.
