New pre-release videos and voice actors for anime film "Chō Kaguya-hime! (Cosmic Princess Kaguya!)"

For the upcoming anime film "Chō Kaguya-hime!" – internationally known as Cosmic Princess Kaguya! – a new promotional image and a final trailer have been released. Additionally, the voice cast has been expanded with seven more names.

The work is the feature film directorial debut of Shingo Yamashita, who is best known for designing opening sequences for anime series such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. It is a reinterpretation of the classic Japanese folktale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (also known as The Tale of Princess Kaguya).

The plot follows 17-year-old Iroha, who juggles school and a part-time job, until her life is thrown off course when Kaguya, a mysterious, carefree young woman from the moon, suddenly enters her life. Together, they begin performing live in the virtual dream world "Tsukuyomi".

The film will be released worldwide exclusively on Netflix and will be available on the platform from January 22, 2026.

In addition to a new key visual showing the main characters Kaguya and Ayaha, a final trailer has been released. This presents the main theme song "Ex-Otogibanashi", contributed by ryo (supercell). Another song featured in the trailer is "Shunkan, Symphony." by the well-known music producer 40mP.

The film's music is also composed by Conisch, and several renowned Vocaloid producers are involved in the creation of the songs.
