"Super Kaguyahime!" New project launched

It has been announced that an online event called "Tsukuyomi Thanksgiving" will be held as part of a new project for the original anime "Super Kaguyahime!", the first feature-length directorial work by Seigo Yamashita, who has worked on the opening videos for popular anime such as the first season of "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Chainsaw Man." A "miniature VR world" has been created as a space where viewers can actually experience the virtual world of Tsukuyomi from the series, and an online event featuring 3D Kaguya will be held on the completed stage. The event can be experienced for free on the VR platform "VRChat," and the video will also be streamed for free on YouTube.

To commemorate the "Tsukuyomi Thanksgiving Festival," limited original merchandise will be made to order and sold on the crowdfunding site "Soleos." Proceeds from the merchandise will be used to cover the construction costs of the Tsukuyomi "Miniature Garden VR World" and the production costs of the 3D Kaguya online event. Details such as the date will be announced at a later date.

In the promotional video posted on YouTube, Kaguya is seen enthusiastically calling for participation, asking, "Would you like to hold an event at Tsukuyomi with Kaguya?" A newly drawn key visual was also released, showing Kaguya, Sakyo Saiha, and Tsukimi Yachiyo cutely posing in the live costumes shown in the music video for the ending theme, "ray Super Kaguyahime! Version."

The work is a "musical anime" inspired by the classic "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter." Aya Sakayori, a 17-year-old high school girl who leads an extremely busy life juggling part-time work and studies, meets Kaguya, who appears from inside a gaming utility pole that shines in seven colors.

Studio Colorido, known for "Penguin Highway," teamed up with Studio Chromat, led by director Yamashita, to produce the anime. Music was provided by a stellar cast of Vocaloid producers, including ryo from "supercell," kz from "livetune," 40mP, HoneyWorks, Aqu3ra, and yuigot. It began streaming as a "Netflix movie" on January 22nd. It was released in theaters for a limited one-week period from February 20th.
