It has been announced that the seventh bonus item for moviegoers of "Super Princess Kaguya!", the first feature-length original anime directed by Shingo Yamashita, who has worked on the opening sequences for popular anime such as the first season of "Jujutsu Kaisen " and "Chainsaw Man", will be an "Illustration Postcard of 'World is Mine CPK! Remix'", which will be given away starting April 24th. The postcard will feature the thumbnail from the music video (MV) of the song "World is Mine CPK! Remix" from the anime. The MV for "World is Mine CPK! Remix" also garnered attention because redjuice, who worked on the MV for the original hit song "World is Mine", drew Kaguya and Tsukimi Yachiyo.
For the fifth and final week (April 24-30), the welcome announcements shown weekly before the main feature will be presented by Kaguya, Sakayori Iroha, and Tsukimi Yachiyo.
On April 29th, as part of the "#GWisSuperKaguyaPrincess" project, some theaters will be holding "postable screenings" where viewers can post on social media using their smartphones while watching the film. This project was also held on March 20th and became a hot topic, with related words trending on X (a Japanese social networking site).
The film is a "musical anime" inspired by the classic "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter." It follows Iroha Sakayori, a 17-year-old high school girl who leads an extremely busy life juggling part-time jobs and schoolwork, as she encounters Kaguya, who emerges from a gaming utility pole that glows with seven colors. The anime was produced through a collaboration between Studio Colorido, known for works such as "Penguin Highway," and Studio Chromato, led by director Yamashita. A host of talented Vocaloid producers, including ryo from "supercell," kz from "livetune," 40mP, "HoneyWorks," Aqu3ra, and yuigot, provided the music.
The film premiered on January 22nd as a "Netflix movie," and due to its success, it began theatrical release on February 20th. Despite being shown in only 19 theaters, it grossed approximately 291.22 million yen and attracted approximately 148,000 viewers in just four days, ranking 5th in audience attendance. Initially planned for a one-week limited run, the screening period was extended and the number of theaters showing the film was expanded. With box office revenue exceeding 2 billion yen and audience attendance surpassing 1.02 million, it has become an exceptional hit for a film that was initially released on Netflix.
