Correction: The Sanrio was actually twinned on April 27, 1985 after major renovation, alongside its neighboring restaurant next door at a cost of approximately 45 million yen ($290,416 in USD). At the time, Screen 1 housed 282 seats while Screen 2 housed 112 seats, bringing the original twin total of 394 seats.

When the theater was tripled on March 13, 1993, it was also relocated to 21-2 Honcho, with the original location on 14-2 Nemoto closing the previous day. All three auditoriums are video theaters, which they do not require particularly high ceilings. The number of video theaters at the time was skyrocketing with many of those attached to supermarkets and department stores.
