Shingo Yamashita, an animation creator who has left a vivid impression on anime fans worldwide by directing the opening sequences for renowned animation works such as "Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1," "Chainsaw Man," and "Urusei Yatsura," now presents his first feature-length directorial work, the original animation "Cho Kaguya-hime!". This film is being exclusively distributed worldwide as a Netflix movie. Providing music for this "music animation project" are a star-studded lineup of Vocaloid producers: ryo (supercell), kz (livetune), 40mP, HoneyWorks, Aqu3ra, and yuigot. Leveraging Yamashita's expertise in creating stylish and emotional visuals that align with the story, along with powerful action scenes utilizing 3D camera work, the film depicts live stages in the virtual space "Tsukuyomi," filled with dreams and hope, and the bonds between girls connected by "song," all rendered with breathtaking quality. The animation production is a collaboration between "Studio Colorido," known for producing beloved works with charming characters and dynamic visual direction like "Penguin Highway" and "A Whisker Away," and "Studio Chromato," led by director Shingo Yamashita, for which this is the studio's first work.
The film garnered significant attention even before its release, ranking #1 on YouTube's "Trending Movies" chart during the release of its special trailer and exceeding 15 million total SNS views (as of November 28). After its release, it ranked high on X trends and Yahoo! search surge rankings, and on the day after its release, it secured the #1 spot on Netflix's "Today's Top 10 Movies" in Japan! It also achieved top rankings in multiple regions overseas, creating a global sensation. Encouraged by this immense response and fan demand, theatrical screenings began on February 20th (Friday). Due to numerous screenings selling out immediately upon seat reservations, the screening period was extended, and the number of theaters expanded. As of today (April 20th), the cumulative audience has surpassed 1 million, and box office revenue has exceeded 2 billion JPY, continuing its momentum.
Now, it has been decided that the 8th visitor bonus, a reprint of the "Staff Illustration Collection," will be distributed starting May 1st (Friday)! Additionally, the "ray Cho Kaguya-hime!

It has been announced that a reprinted version of the "Staff Illustration Collection," which was well-received as the first visitor bonus, will be distributed as the 8th visitor bonus starting May 1st! This collection includes newly drawn illustrations by director Yamashita, Hechima (Tsukuyomi character design), and Akihiro Nagae (real-world character design), specifically for this illustration collection. Although it was initially distributed to commemorate a one-week limited theatrical release, due to the widespread positive reception and numerous requests for a reprint, the decision was made to revive this bonus as a token of gratitude for the film's massive success and long-running screenings. Those who were unable to obtain it during the initial distribution are encouraged to get their hands on it now.
