Netflix announced on September 1 that its original series Fujiyama Boy will premiere worldwide in January 2027. Wataru Ichinose stars as Kakuhata Kanta, a man who has been a shut-in for eight years and has zero romantic experience. Suzu Hirose plays Hamamiya Mami, Japan's top idol, whom Kanta vows to marry after his dying mother tells him she dreamed of the union. The story follows Kanta's sudden declaration that he will marry the idol and his subsequent struggle to make that happen. Ichinose, who previously starred in the Netflix series Sanctuary, said he was surprised to hear Netflix wanted him for a love story and that he felt obligated to give his all since Netflix changed his life. Hirose described the project as quite funky and said she wondered why she was cast, but praised the explosive strength of her character. The series is directed by Yu Irie, known for the SR Saitama no Rappers films and An no Koto, with scripts by Shigeki Kaneko, who won the 38th Kuniko Mukoda Award for Ore no Hanashi wa Nagai. Executive producer Yuta Fukui said the story is about a man who recklessly pursues a love everyone calls impossible.
HIKKY announced on July 28 that it released the Fujikyu Highland-themed VR space "Virtual FUJIQ" on VRChat on July 27. The world is part of the XR Annual Project marking the 100th anniversary of Fujikyu Railway's founding. Visitors can enter for free 24 hours a day from VR devices or Windows PC by searching for "Virtual FUJIQ" within VRChat. The space keeps attractions from Virtual Market 2026 Summer, held July 11 to 26, playable after the event ended. These include the VR coaster "Super FUJIYAMA!," which accelerates the more the player screams, and the water attraction "Sugoku Nagashimasuka," a two-choice quiz about Fujikyu Highland trivia. HIKKY states this is the world's first VR coaster that accelerates with screams, based on its own research from February to June 2026. Beyond serving as an event archive, the space is a hub for the Fujikyu Highland virtual community "FUJIQ VIRTUAL PLAZA," which has drawn over 10,000 members within about two weeks of recruitment. Community members interact on Discord and will help plan the Virtual Market 2026 Winter exhibition. New attractions and content are planned, incorporating member feedback.
