Super Kaguya Hime! is a modern adaptation of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter set in a virtual space called Tsukuyomi, where characters Kaguya and Ayaha connect through livestreaming and music. The film was produced by Studio Colorido and Studio Chromato, directed by Seishirou Yamashita, with a voice cast including Yuko Natsuyoshi, Anna Nagase, and Saori Hayami. It launched on Netflix on January 22, 2026, and began a theatrical run on February 20 that was initially planned as a one-week limited release but extended to four months, ending June 18.
During its run, the film surpassed 2.5 billion yen at the box office and drew over 1.2 million viewers. Publicity producer Misaki Hashimoto credited a fan-engaged social media strategy, including scene cuts, Live2D Kaguya, and postable screenings, for driving the film's success without a pre-existing fanbase. The film's official TikTok account won the Entertainment Category at the TikTok First Half Trend Awards 2026, with producer Kenji Nagasaka accepting and announcing revival screenings from September 18 and a December event.
Revival screenings were confirmed on June 19, the day after the initial run ended, with formats including MX4D, 4DX, ScreenX, ULTRA 4DX, and Dolby Atmos, plus standard screenings. The film's commercial life has extended into merchandise and collaborations. Movic opened pre-orders for FUSHI and Dog DOGE plushies, Kotobukiya showed figure prototypes of Kaguya, Tsukimi Yachiyo, and Sayori Sakayori, and Good Smile Company added Kaguya, Sakayori Iroha, and Tsukimi Yachiyo to its Nendoroid line. A WEGO fashion collaboration launched July 10, and a two-part collaboration video project with the TV anime Oshi no Ko concluded on August 2.

The second collaboration video between the Netflix film Super Kaguya Hime! and the TV anime Oshi no Ko was released on August 2 on the official YouTube channel for Oshi no Ko. In this installment, Kaguya visits MEMcho's room, reversing the setup from the first video where MEMcho taught Kaguya how to make a stream go viral. With MEMcho's Ichigo Production Fan Appreciation Festival 2026 scheduled for August 16, Kaguya asks for tips on hyping up a live audience. MEMcho replies that idols rely on live performances and call-and-response, and the two attempt the call-and-response for B-Komachi's song Sign wa B. MEMcho passionately explains her dedication, overwhelming Kaguya, who says, "That's intense! MEMcho-chan, your love for call-and-response is amazing!" They perform a synchronized exchange, but Kaguya gets carried away and goes off-script. MEMcho jokes, "If this were a real live show, I'd be attacking the person next to me!" and reflects that she learned from Kaguya the importance of having fun and being free. The video concludes the two-part collaboration project across both works' YouTube channels.

The Netflix animated film Super Kaguya Hime! is not a Vocaloid-themed work, but it has drawn strong support from Vocaloid fans. The article argues the film's structure-a creator, a singer, and a virtual space diva-mirrors the ontology of Vocaloid culture, where Hatsune Miku is sustained by a community of creators rather than a single author.
