The virtual space phenomenon Chou Kaguya-hime! is gearing up for a massive theatrical revival across 249 Japanese cinemas on September 18, 2026. Ahead of the return, voice actors Anna Nagase and Yuko Natsuyoshi have captured the internet's attention with a playful exchange on social media that perfectly mirrors their characters' dynamics.
Directed by Shingo Yamashita and co-produced by Studio Colorido and Studio Chromato, the original feature film blends streaming culture, music live shows, and social media aesthetics within the virtual space Tsukuyomi. Following its Netflix premiere in January 2026 and subsequent theatrical run in February, the movie shattered expectations with over 1.2 million admissions and 2.5 billion yen at the box office.
Cast Banter Delights Fans
The online excitement began when Anna Nagase, who voices Ayaha Sakayori, shared a photo of herself holding advance Mubachike ticket cards featuring Ayaha and Yachiyo. Shortly after, Yuko Natsuyoshi—who stars as the titular Kaguya—quoted the post with an enthusiastic cry of jealousy, prompting a wave of amused reactions from the community who noted how closely the playful banter mirrored the characters themselves.
Alongside the upcoming revival screenings, fans can look forward to exclusive theater visitor bonuses, including special illustration boards and format-specific clear clips. The theatrical run will also feature updated post-credit music videos and exclusive concession items, ensuring a fresh experience for both returning viewers and newcomers alike.
