'Super Kaguya-hime!' Currently a Huge Hit! 4th Round of Theater-Goer Benefits: 'Sung It Myself' Illustration Postcards to be Distributed! Second Week of Welcome Announcements by Kaguya and Ayaha!

Animation creator Seigo Yamashita, who has left a vivid impression on anime fans worldwide with his opening sequence direction for renowned works such as 'Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1,' 'Chainsaw Man,' and 'Urusei Yatsura,' presents his first feature-length directorial work, the original animation 'Super Kaguya-hime!' now exclusively streaming worldwide on Netflix. The 'Music Animation Project' features contributions from renowned Vocaloid P composers including ryo (supercell), kz (livetune), 40mP, HoneyWorks, Aqu3ra, and yuigot. Yamashita's signature high-sense, emotional visual storytelling that complements the narrative, combined with dynamic action sequences powered by 3D camera work, vividly depicts the live stages within the dream-and-hope-filled virtual space 'Tsukuyomi' and the bonds of girls connected by 'song' with breathtaking quality. Studio Colorido, known for producing charming characters and dynamic visual direction in works like 'Penguin Highway' and 'A Whisker Away,' has partnered with Studio Chromart, led by Director Seigo Yamashita, for this project, marking Studio Chromart's first work.

The special preview trailer's release saw it rank #1 on YouTube's 'Trending Movies' chart, with total social media views exceeding 15 million (as of November 28th), garnering significant attention even before its release. After its release, the film ranked high on X trends and Yahoo! search rising rankings, and on the day after its release, it secured the #1 spot on Netflix's 'Top 10 Movies Today' in Japan! It has also received global acclaim, ranking high in similar charts in multiple regions overseas. Driven by this positive reception and strong fan demand, theatrical screenings began on Friday, February 20th. Many screenings sold out immediately upon ticket reservation, and the momentum continues to build.

This time, it has been decided that starting Friday, April 3rd, the fourth round of theater-goer benefits will be 'Sung It Myself' illustration postcards (2 types, random)! Additionally, Kaguya and Ayaha Sakiyori will be in charge of the second week's welcome announcement!

The film, which began distributing its third round of theater-goer benefits and new welcome announcements last week on Friday the 27th, has seen a wide range of generations, including students and families, visiting theaters during the spring break period. Over the weekend of March 27th-29th, it recorded 51,843 attendees and 103,163,500 yen in box office revenue, maintaining a strong performance by entering the top 10 weekend attendance rankings for six consecutive weeks (according to Kogyo Tsushinsha). The cumulative box office revenue has surpassed 1.5 billion yen.

And now, starting Friday, April 3rd, it has been decided that the fourth round of theater-goer benefits will be 'Sung It Myself' illustration postcards (2 types, random)! The designs use thumbnails from the popular 'Sung It Myself' project songs 'Lonely Universe' and 'Taketori Overnight Sensation,' which have garnered over 5 million views on the official YouTube channel prior to Netflix's release. Matcha is in charge of the illustration for 'Lonely Universe,' and Nishizawa 5mm for 'Taketori Overnight Sensation.' These illustrations, which not only pay respect to the original songs but also fully capture the film's unique style, are a must-have.

Furthermore, the weekly welcome announcements, which have been playing before the main feature since last week, have been met with great enthusiasm. Fans have commented, 'It was good to feel Kaguya's streamer personality,' and 'I was healed,' regarding the talk only heard here from Kaguya, who handled the first week. And the second week (Friday, April 3rd - Thursday, April 9th) will be handled by Kaguya and Ayaha Sakiyori! You'll want to see what kind of interactions they'll have in theaters. The third week's hosts will be announced next Tuesday, April 7th. Look forward to the next character announcement!

Work Information

■ Work Title

'Super Kaguya-hime!'

■ Synopsis

The virtual space <Tsukuyomi>, a gathering place for dreams and hopes.

A stage for girls' encounters, and farewells, is about to begin --

A little while into the future.

Ayaha Sakiyori, a 17-year-old high school student attending a prestigious school in Tokyo, leads an extremely busy life juggling part-time work and studies.

Her daily solace is watching the streams of Tsukuyomi, the manager and popular streamer of the internet virtual space <Tsukuyomi>.

In <Tsukuyomi>, where users create avatars and engage in free creative activities, Ayaha supports her favorite streamer, Tsukuyomi, while earning a little pocket money playing battle games.

One day on her way home, Ayaha discovers a gaming utility pole shining with seven colors.

Emerging from it is an incredibly cute baby.

Unable to leave it, she takes it home, and the baby quickly grows into a girl about Ayaha's age.

'Are you perhaps Princess Kaguya?'

The grown Princess Kaguya is utterly spoiled.

At Kaguya's persistent (spoiled) request, Ayaha ends up helping with her streamer activities on Tsukuyomi.

As Ayaha produces music and Kaguya sings as a streamer, the two gradually open up to each other.

Unaware that a sinister shadow is approaching to take Kaguya back to the moon --

This is the story of 'Princess Kaguya' that no one has ever seen before.
