Director Shingo Yamashita's feature directorial debut, Chou Kaguya-hime!, continues its theatrical run across Japan with new commemorative incentives and extended screening schedules. Animated by Studio Colorido and Studio Chromato, the cyber-fantasy project has captured audiences through its portrayal of virtual bonds set within the digital space TsukuYomi, backed by music producers such as ryo (supercell), kz (livetune), 40mP, and HoneyWorks.
Theatrical Incentives and Postcards
Starting October 23, 2026, theaters will distribute the sixth round of attendee gifts: a set of six collectible A6 postcards showcasing visual stills from the "ray Chou Kaguya-hime! Version" music video. These illustrations highlight unseen childhood scenes and story epilogues that expanded the movie's lore during its promotional music video campaign. The distribution is scheduled to run through October 29 across standard and premium formats including 4DX, SCREENX, and ULTRA 4DX, while supplies last.
Encore Screenings and Gentle 4DX
The current limited re-release, running since September 18 along with in-theater HELLO! MOVIE audio commentary, will conclude on November 5. Immediately following on November 6, regular secondary screenings begin alongside a one-week limited encore run for 4DX and ULTRA 4DX through November 12. Attendees during this window can receive specialized bonus gifts:
- Second-run standard screenings: Fanatic Omatsuri Girl cheer fan
- 4DX / ULTRA 4DX encore: Chou Kaguya-hime! collectible paperclip
The encore will also introduce a retuned sensory experience titled "Geni Yasashiki 4DX" in selected venues. This modified profile softens violent seat motions and tempers intense physical cues to preserve immersion without causing sensory fatigue or motion sickness. The film remains accessible worldwide via streaming on Netflix.
