The feature debut of Shingo Yamashita (Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen) the anime film is inspired by Japanese folktale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, set to songs by Vocaloid (AI singing synthesisers created by Yamaha) producers including HoneyWorks, kz (livetune), ryo (supercell), Aqu3ra, yuigot, and 40mP.
A mysterious baby from the moon found in a telephone pole (stay with me) grows quickly to become Kaguya (voiced by Yuko Natsuyoshi), who befriends honour student Iroha (Anna Nagase) on Earth. Kaguya has one goal: to become a top idol and streamer in the virtual realm of Tsukuyomi. And it's all very pretty.
