Director Seigo Yamashita (Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen OPs) is making his feature-length directorial debut with Super Kaguyahime!, a musical sci-fi anime inspired by the classic “Tale of the Bamboo Cutter” — only this time, the stage is Tsukuyomi, a dazzling virtual world where teen idols sing to stay connected in a digital age.

The anime premieres globally on Netflix January 22, 2026.

✨ Story Snapshot

What if Kaguya-hime dreamed of being a virtual pop idol instead of returning to the moon?

Set in a glowing livestream metaverse, the anime follows the bonds between Kaguya, Ayaba, and Yachiyo as they chase stardom and self-expression through song, fantasy, and friendship.

Catchphrase: “Beyond fairy tales──”
