Director Seigo Yamashita’s feature debut Cho Kaguya-hime（超かぐや姫！） locks a worldwide Netflix premiere on Thu, Jan 22, 2026. Alongside the date reveal, the team dropped a teaser visual and a special trailer, plus a star-studded lineup of Vocaloid producers—headlined by ryo (supercell), kz (livetune), 40mP, HoneyWorks, Aqu3ra, and yuigot—including a brand-new remix of the classic hit “World Is Mine.”
Netflix date set for a global music-driven fantasy
Mark your calendar: Jan 22, 2026 (Thu). The original film blends Japan’s oldest tale, Taketori Monogatari, with a modern, music-first approach. Yamashita’s signature—emotive framing, slick camera work, and rhythm-aware cuts—now expands to feature length.
Vocaloid all-stars join the soundtrack, led by a fresh “World Is Mine” remix
The film assembles six marquee creators: ryo (supercell), kz (livetune), 40mP, HoneyWorks, Aqu3ra, and yuigot. Expect new songs tailored to the story and a new remix of “World Is Mine” to anchor the hype. It’s a crossover of classic myth and net-era music culture designed for headphone replays and theater-scale impact.
From OP maestro to feature director: Seigo Yamashita’s visual DNA
Known for striking TV openings on Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Urusei Yatsura, Yamashita now channels that dynamic grammar into a full narrative—balancing lyrical imagery with propulsive action. The teaser hints at elegant Japanese motifs colliding with live-stage spectacle, a throughline fans will recognize.
Two studios, one stage: Studio Colorido × Studio CHROMATO
Studio Colorido (of Penguin Highway, A Whisker Away) teams up with Yamashita’s newly led Studio CHROMATO. Character design pairs Hecima (co-original designs for Gakuen Idolmaster) and Akihiro Nagae (Drifting Home)—a combo geared for expressive performance and concert-scale choreography.
Cast spotlight: voices behind the new Kaguya universe
Kaguya is voiced by Yuko Natsuyoshi. Iroha Sakayori features Anna Nagase, and Yachiyo Tsukimi is played by Saori Hayami. Their trio anchors the film’s central theme: bonds formed and tested through “song.”
A myth rewired in “Tsukuyomi,” a virtual live arena
Set in the virtual space Tsukuyomi, the story refracts the Princess Kaguya legend through neon-lit stages, penlights, and crowd-swell moments. Expect high-tempo setpieces, call-and-response energy, and the emotional release of an idol-scale finale.
