The music video for the song "I Love Myself," featured in the original anime "Super Kaguyahime!", the first feature-length directorial work by Chainsaw Man Yamashita, who has worked on the opening videos for popular series such as the first Jujutsu Kaisen of the TV anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Chainsaw Man," has been released on YouTube. The work is a "music anime" with a story based on the classic "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," and has been attracting attention for featuring music from a number of renowned Vocaloid producers, including the creator unit HoneyWorks, who wrote the song.
"I Love Myself" is sung by the main character, Kaguya, a mysterious girl from the moon, played by Yuko Natsuyoshi. The song marks the beginning of Kaguya's live streamer activities on Earth, and is a cheerful song filled with joy, celebrating the present moment to the fullest. The music video starts energetically with Kaguya popping out of a computer. The entire video is adorned with colorful and dynamic lyric designs and emojis, expressing Kaguya's innocent and unconventional character. In the chorus, she also performs an original dance to go along with the song.
HoneyWorks, who produced the song, commented, "We believe this song will support the story of Kaguya and her friends as they run through their extremely selfish and challenging days."
The story is about the bond between girls connected by song. One day, 17-year-old high school student Ayaka Sakayori, who leads an incredibly busy life juggling part-time work and studies, meets Kaguya, who appears from inside a gaming utility pole shining in seven colors.
