Twin Engine released a video on September 4 in which Kaguya and Ayaha explain the special formats for the Chō Kaguya Hime! revival screening, which begins September 18. The revival runs MX4D, 4DX, SCREENX, ULTRA 4DX, Dolby Atmos, and the regular version. The video shows SCREENX preview images for the first time.
The video, titled "Movie becomes more fun! Special format explanation course," has Kaguya (Yuko Natsuyoshi) and Ayaha (Anna Nagase) trading lines while walking through each format. The release singles out MX4D and 4DX as the formats fans most often confuse, since both offer ride-like viewing, and the video uses imagery to show what separates them. SCREENX, a three-screen format that extends to 270 degrees, gets its first preview images here. Dolby Atmos is described as strictly outside the special format group, with Ayaha joking that Yachiyo's singing lets viewers drown in sound.
ULTRA 4DX merges SCREENX and 4DX into what the release calls a nearly all-inclusive format, and some theaters will run it. With a runtime around 140 minutes, watching every format adds up to roughly 14 hours. The film is directed by Seiya Yamashita in his first feature-length directorial work, with music from Vocaloid producers including ryo(supercell) and kz(livetune). It streams worldwide on Netflix.
