Shingo Yamashita’s first feature-length film, Cosmic Princess Kaguya! integrates music, fantasy, and contemporary animation to boldly rework Japan’s oldest folktale, “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,” for a new generation. Set in the virtual realm of Tsukuyomi, the story unfolds as a live performance marrying original music by prominent producers in the Vocaloid scene with Yamashita’s signature style of polished visuals, emotive pacing, and dynamic 3D camerawork.
