The special movie included in the first edition B was produced by Takashi Nikaido, a member of the group, and took about three months from conception to production under the mottos of "thinking seriously about seemingly trivial things and doing them seriously" and "playing with music to the hilt."{{cite web |title=Kis-My-Ft2、7人の勇者として対決!? 3カ月かけた斬新設定のSPムービー |url=https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20170419-a017/ |website=mynavi |access-date=2025-01-23 |language=Japanese |date=2017-04-19}}

The story is about Tamachi, a brave man played by Yuta Tamamori, who sets out on a journey to find his friends after receiving a message from God. Tamacchi heads for "Music Mountain," a sacred place where brave men fight, and meets six unique "music fighters."

Shibumitsu (Hiromitsu Kitayama), a gyaru guy (a frivolous guy who used to live in Shibuya), Ken-King (Kent Senga), a genderless-fashioned guy who loves playing the piano, Miyacchi, an otaku who loves anime (Toshiya Miyata), Watter, a good cook (Wataru Yokoo), Taipi, a sexy cool guy (Taisuke Fujigaya) and Kis-My-Ft2's big fan Jossy Matsumura (Takashi Nikaido). After witnessing their respective confrontations, would Tamachi be able to make these brave men into friends?

In this special movie, the heroes battle one-on-one in a music battle, and at the end, they all dance to the song "Let's Go!" which is also the theme song of the movie The Lego Batman Movie.{{cite web |title=キスマイ、“笑劇”の音楽映像作品完成 7人のキャラ設定公開 |url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2089412/full/ |website=oricon |access-date=2025-01-23 |language=Japanese |date=2017-04-19}}
