The official Roka birthday art (pic rel) by the Director broke the fandom's mind for a bit there. Iroha is a sinful lesbian seducer.

The fundraiser stretch goal exceeded 1680% and the management announced there will be a whole new voice drama made in celebration!

The box office exceeded 1.8 billion yen and is still climbing.

Movie screenings have added new incentives for people to go, like pre-movie chit-chats between the characters that change every week. The Reply MV also got shown after the movie for one week only.

Several doujins have been scanned and uploaded to both Dynasty-scans and e-hentai. Check 'em out.

This is a fake interview of Kaguya right before the graduation concert. It adds a lot to the context of that part of the movie.

Soo... more movie details... uhh.
How about this? I never really got why Iroha had a stronger reaction to seeing the dirty dishes than the money that was used for the food. But then I realized... Iroha would not own all this kitchen equipment, considering she hardly ever cooks for herself.
So that means kaguya bought a bunch of kitchen wares on top of all the expensive food. It's a mystery how Iroha's account didnt go into debt.

Kaguya usually wears red nail polish, but during her graduation concert she wore purple after putting on the several layered kimono... this is the same color Yachiyo wears. Basically at that point her path was already determined.

This pose Kaguya does is actually a very popular internet meme in Japan. It's based on a safety mascot, Ganba Cat. This has been used as the "Yosh!" meme for a while which is an enthusiastic call to action.

ANOTHER flower fact? Of course!
So you see, as if the bellflowers they wear werent gay enough symbolism, sunflowers, like the ones they have on their yukatas, also have special meaning, especially in numbers.

Both of them have three sunflowers each (two in front, one on the back). Three sunflowers represent a confession of love. Six sunflowers represent romantic obssession.
So each of them have 3 and together they got 6. It's absolutely insane how romantically charged every single choice about the fireworks date is.

Yeah but all that irrelevant stuff aside, do you know what this scene represents?
1. Kaguya likes to touch pussy
2. Kaguya wants to own pussy
3. It foreshadows how she will get some pussy later
4. It predicts that eventually she will get an artificial body that will have one added by her scientist wife for her

Truly, the most brilliant movie of all time.

I cant post pics, because they are guys, but some Jap fans pointed out how all of the Sakayori family's lovers tend to have droopy eyes. Kaguya, Noi and Iroha's dad all have them. Is having a type hereditary? lol

Lovely movie that leaves me wanting more. I don't think it lends itself to a sequel, though. Maybe an epilogue OVA or something would be good. It could flesh out the events of the MV a bit; it doesn't need to answer all the ontological questions, but it would be nice to have a little more clarity on which ones are worth asking. The rest of the time could be filled with scenes of domestic fluffy pancakes.

On second thought, maybe it's time for the slice of life genre to have its moment on the big screen. Give us two hours of Iroha and Kaguya just enjoying each other's company as they go about their lives.

There is that voice drama they announced and it if has anywhere near the level of care put into it that the movie has, then it will surely gives us lots of new information.
>SoL movie sequel
I dunno, I would certainly watch it, but I doubt this is ever gonna be a thing. The closest to that might be the Yuru Yuri Oomuro-ke movie that released last year. It didn't really have some goal or big plot, as expected of Yuru Yuri and it was still decently successful.

Personally I think a 20 minute OVA would be much better suited to deliver SoL content. It could still have details about the 10 year time skip or the Mount Fuji climb.

Oh damn, this is really smart. This is Kaguya watching the Artemis 2 go around the moon. CPK takes place 4 years later, so it's entirely possible that this is what gave Kaguya the idea to go to Earth eventually.
I also love how the artist uses the same exact eye shot as Iroha watching Kaguya's ship fly by.

I unironically think you can do almost any kind of AU with the CPK cast. They are just that well defined and flexible at the same time. And this is an interesting way to integrate the Kaguya myth in all kinds of scenarios.
I've especially been getting into Role Swap AUs lately, because human Kaguya meeting any kind of non-human Iroha really makes the dynamics of the story quite fresh.

You will never convince me Kaguya wasn't constantly and successfully begging Iroha for sex.

Well it is Yachiyo, so she might be a bit more modest and shy. Unless you meant pre-timeskip. In which case I don't think they were really there yet. If they had gotten another month in their newlywed life it might have gotten that far though. If iroha wasn't depressed about Kaguya clearly leaving soon they could have been more lovey-dovey.
>>
>>4547916
>I unironically think you can do almost any kind of AU with the CPK cast
I for one would read an AU where Iroha is an overstressed JK, Kaguya is a princess from the Moon and Yachiyo is a time displaced Kaguya.
>>
>>4547939
I guess you were trying to be funny, but there isn't much meat on that joke, because it entirely relies on just ignoring what AU means.
>>
>>4547940
The joke is that in the AU in question, the Moon Kingdom would be an actual, physical, globally recognized polity. Kaguya would be the princess (crown-princess or otherwise) of this place and would fall in love with Iroha. Yachiyo, as mentioned, would be a time displaced Kaguya, and her sole purpose (as Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto) would be to create the Moon Kingdom so that it would eventually produce Kaguya to fall in love with Iroha.

Iroha would still be an overstressed JK, but instead of "oh shit I got myself a wife" it'd be "oh shit I got myself involved in interplanetary affairs AND a wife"

Light Novel Chapter 1:
--
I'm just grateful that this world created "Yachiyo". I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but—
I survived because of Yachiyo.
When I was cornered. When I couldn't go on. When I was stuck in the middle with nowhere to move. Yachiyo gave me wings through her songs. She told me, "You can fly too".
With this very song I'm listening to now.
"...Beloved melody, sweetest harmony, softly echoing inside… your heart still sings"
I live every day because of Yachiyo.
Watch her streams I can laugh
Listen to her songs My heart calms down
Vent in the counseling app Countless times
If she streams, I watch. If she doesn't stream, I watch old clips. On days when I don't want to eat, watching her helps me eat a little. Even without a concert ticket, I still go. I try to stand in the best spot I can manage. Just to burn the sight of her into my eyes. Then I use that image to cover over bad memories before I sleep.
On days when my legs don't want to carry me to school or work, just playing her music makes my body move on its own. She makes me feel like "living isn't so bad".
Yachiyo never blames me. She never rushes me. But she is always by my side. Sometimes she might even be kinder than real people.

If Yachiyo didn't exist… How would I keep living?
I know I have to keep living.
But—

Tears slowly welled up.
--

I feel like the movie severely understated just how much Iroha loves Yachiyo. How she is the center of her entire life.
>>
>>4548634
Roka never had a chance with that robosexual.
>>
>>4548647
More than anything I am impressed by Kaguya for being able to tear Iroha's heart away from this obssession and make Iroha fall for her. Even though they are the same person, to Iroha they must seem quite different. And I'm not fully convinced that it is the Kaguya-like parts of Yachiyo that attracted Iroha the most to her.
>>
>>4548634
Is it really love? Sounds ot me like Yachiyo was Iroha's emotional support, but not necessarily romantic.
>>
>>4548652
Sigh... did you even watch the movie? As if this page wasn't self-explanatory and shows off serious obssession (which obviously veers into romantic attraction), it certainly isn't hard to tell when you actually have seen the whole story play out.
>>
>>4548649
If you read the novel, it’s actually the other way around, Iroha's drawn to Yachiyo in the first place because she is Kaguya (as weird as that sounds)



I'd thought it was strange. From the very beginning.
Why was I, who had supposedly abandoned music, so drawn to her songs?
Why did her songs seep so deeply into my heart?
Why did she sing the same melody as the song I wrote?
And why did she always smile so quietly, as if she knew the fate that lay ahead?
All the "whys" converged into one, and...
"Yachiyo..."
...I was calling my goddess's name.

I don't think Iroha ever imagined she had a chance with Yachiyo, even after they became friendly. No matter how much you like a pop star, you'll probably manage to date a regular person.
>>
>>4548860
Ok, but... during the movie Iroha gets incredibly close to Yachiyo even before the reveal, to the point where she has her number and they can clearly hang out whenever. The novel also confirms that Iroha doesn't necessarily buy the AI backstory and would be fine if she was a person working for an organisation, a digital ghost or whatever else.

I think she still sees Yachiyo primarily as an unreachable star, even as they become closer. Like I can't imagine her sending Yachiyo dumb memes on Line, you know? At the very least, Yachiyo would have needed to make the first move for Iroha to think romance possible.

That much I agree with. But love isn't rational. Even if she might not consider it realistic, the close proximity would absolutely enflame her desire and wish to be with her more. So the fact that right after the concert in which Yachiyo directly flirted with her and she straight up no-sold Kaguya's approaches, she still accepted Kaguya's marriage proposal is really impressive.

This is a movie review shared by the official channel. Apparently this is some famous comedian in Japan? People seem to think he really nailed it.
Personally I rolled my eyes at the usual "This is a love that can't be described with simple terms like family, friendship or romance, it's something greater". This stupid "super duper ideal" love is for some reason never brought up in het works... I can absolutely define this love as romantic, thanks.

This one doesn't make any sense on so many levels...
It's adult Iroha, so it's post time skip. That means this is Kaguyabot. Yachiyo is inside Kaguyabot, so she is 8000 years old too. If we assume Iroha made a second android body for the Yachiyo copy just so they can their weird not real threeway relationship, then that would just mean there are two Yachiyo's here and both were created only recently, making their bodies both physically 0 years old.

Just shows that many artists didn't understand the ending at all. Unless it's meant to be an AU, but there is no indication of that.
>>

Almost of them do understand the ending but they just want to see them living together.

I mean yeah, many want the threesome relationship really badly, but can't force it into the very short period where all three of them were together, so they keep imagining a post time skip throuple where a Yachiyo body is made just to have the old triangle back, but this fundamentally ignores the actual point of the movie. I never liked that. If you are so desperate to have a separate Kaguya/Yachiyo then make an AU or put your work before the graduation concert...

This is from this imaginary stream btw. I really would love to see more fanworks delve into post time-skip Kaguya streams. Also because Iroha and Kaguya are both public figures now, they can actually do live facecam streams like this together, which really did just turn it into a couple's channel. Adorable.

In the final scene right before the concert, Yachiyo and Kaguya are acting as two different people even when talking privately. No reason to assume they couldn't keep doing that, even if it's a little odd.
>>
>>4549768
Anon.... at that point they are basically two different people. But post time skip there is ONLY Yachiyo. It makes no sense for Yachiyo to treat herself differently. All the changed is her appearance, but she is still Yachiyo.
This is why the movie needed to be a bit more clear about the ending, because a lot of casual viewers didn't get it.
>>
>>4549768
>>4549771
Oh wait, by "before the concert" you meant the revival concert post time skip? Kaguya and Yachiyo don't really interact as two different people there, they interact through Iroha. It's basically Iroha talking to Yachiyo and Yachiyo being playful about her two different appearances. There is no indication that they are treated as two separate entities outside the public eye.

I really feel like we should know more about the other top streamers in Tsukuyomi. You can see them in almost all montages and in the backgrounds of so many scenes. It's really cool how the staff fleshed them out behind the scenes, but it makes you see more, right? Like is there any way Kaguya didn't try to collab with these big streamers?

For example, Teleriri Tietate being the number 1 streamer (notably she is actually above Black Onyx outside the Yachiyo Cup!). What kind of hyper interesting woman is this? Multilingual and a wine sommelier. Crazy setting. You can totally write an entire side-story about her.

I've seen someone make art of Iroha pretending to be Kuroha Kaka and doing ASMR.

Undoji Suima is literally just a Uma Musume character. Horse girl who loves exercize. Unfortunate that she seems to hang out with the dude who does babaniku so much though.

Somehow this Marie who is clearly a yandere parasocial streamer really got high in the rankings... It's a real mystery. I remember the thing she wanted to bring to a deserted island in the big collab quiz show was pretty insane too.

As an aside for the Black Onys parts I cant post. It's interesting to hear that Noi came up with the whole male idol group thing for them. And considering he is only a 1st year in high school, the Sakayoris sure love their age gap relationships...

Maybe it's because I'm just way too invested in them at this point, but I legit cried the first time I read this. This is almost worse than facing the Lunarians head on and losing.
Kaguya already knows they can't run and gives her bangle to Iroha ahead of time... but she still comes along because she doesn't want Iroha to cry.

There's lots of things in the ending that imply Kaguya's going to keep existing as the two personas. Even after Iroha finds out who Yachiyo is and there's no reason to keep up appearances, she keeps acting like Yachiyo has for the entire film so far. Yet the moment she's in the Kaguyabot, she starts yelling and drooling and demanding pancakes, even though she surely knows the body isn't capable of taste yet. Plus, if she doesn't intend to keep both personas, what is even the point of performing as Kaguya again?
>>
>>4549960
You seem to fundamentally misunderstand the point. This is why I said outside the PUBLIC'S eye. Indeed, it would be quite problematic for Yachiyo to just disappear. She is essential for Tsukuyomi. So Yachiyo continues to operate as her old persona, even after she enter the android body. The assumption being that virtual Yachiyo is one of her clones. This means that they are both Yachiyo, but one just reclaimed her original name and looks as Kaguya.

Nothing you say will change that it is Yachiyo inside that Kaguyabot. She acts more like her old self... according to whom? Yachiyo is way more energetic and chaotic than many give her credit for. The movie's post credits scene is literally her drooling over pancakes. It is also natural that after returning into her old persona without having to put on any airs she would relax and be a bit more like her old self.

A reminder that Yachiyo's narration throughout the entire movie is finished off by Kaguya's VA in the end as a continuous diary that she titles Chou Kaguyahime. So this alone makes clear that it's all the same person, aka Yachiyo. Not to mention the other obvious things like Kaguya saying it has been 8000 years for her to perform this way or her more mature look and reactions in the Ray MV.

It's presumably one consciousness controlling both Kaguya and Yachiyo, but she seems determined to keep both going, and not just in public. As I said, there is no reason to make Kaguya a public figure again, aside from the being's desire to be Kaguya again.

This isn't a documentary depicting real events but an artwork trying to communicate something. If they wanted you to think she's now just Yachiyo, that's the body Iroha would have given her and there'd have been no gig as Kaguya, and the Ray MV wouldn't end on this image. They're clearly implying some kind of split personalities threesome thing.

She literally is Kaguya, the Yachiyo persona was her disguise... The fact that she lives as Kaguya again and lives with her famous scientist wife also means she will inevitably be discovered by the public, so might as well return to the way things were (sort of).
>If they wanted you to think she's now just Yachiyo
Yachiyo IS Kaguya. You are the one who doesn't want to accept this fact. They are one and the same. Of course Yachiyo wants to return to being Kaguya, because that is her real self. She is Yachiyo only symbolically, as an expression of her 8000 year journey, but up to the freaking internet age she didn't even know she would become Yachiyo. She spent 7990 of those years as Kaguya. A more mellowed out, mature Kaguya towards the end, which she then covered up with a new persona that is still her. You can take away the disguise and the title, but 8000 year old Kaguya and Yachiyo are the same.
>this image
Doesn't remotely imply what you seem to think it does. That's pre-timeskip Iroha and Kaguya. Yachiyo (old Kaguya) is watching over the relationship between her past self and Iroha, because that's her precious past that kept her going for all those millenia. Without Yachiyo Iroha and Kaguya could not have reached this place and without Kaguya, Yachiyo would not exist. They close the heart (loop) here.

Frankly I don't think it's possible for anyone to go through 8000 years of loneliness, waiting, and yearning for someone you might not ever meet again and *not* come out a different person. Yes, Yachiyo and Kaguya are one in the same, but I still love AU's where that's not exactly the case, and them exploring their individuality

See, no one making a movie thinks like this. You're coming up with elaborate reasons to explain away for something the film is clearly depicting; somehow, Kaguya and Yachiyo are both around as separate personas, even if they're controlled by the same consciousness. If they wanted you to think Yachiyo is a false persona and Kaguya the real one, she'd have dropped the wise melancholy princess act when Iroha found out the truth.

>Yachiyo (old Kaguya) is watching over the relationship between her past self and Iroha
If that was the idea, she wouldn't be participating in the finger thing. This is the epilogue to the film and the final image they want to go out on, and it's again the threesome idea.

NTA, but the only clear thing here is that it's not clear at all, otherwise the kind of conversation you guys are having wouldn't have been had a thousand times already, never ending on any sort of consensus to boot.
The movie left the final Yachiyo situation fuzzy, most likely intentionally so, some authors have a hard on for not stating things out loud that goes beyond reasonable, that had negative repercussions on the yuri too for that matter, it's one of the few flaws of an otherwise egregious work.
Still I think that considering Yachiyo a different is pretty farfetched, the closest thing would be some kind of AI like Inudoge/Fushi.

The brainlet you are replying to is ignoring basic logic and the direct evidence given by the movie to come to his conclusion, because it serves his prefered meta narrative, so it is pretty clear who is in the wrong here.

Kaguyabot is Yachiyo = Fact
This is not debatable. There is no other explanation and no reason to doubt the goddamn goal of the entire final bit of the movie. To give Yachiyo a body.

Tsukuyomi Yachiyo is also Yachiyo = Fact
Literally zero reason to assume anything else beyond the fact that Kaguya's soul is inside the android body. So the question is not whether the online avatar is Yachiyo, but how it continues to exist.

Not a single bit of the movie's open endedness implies that Kaguyabot isn't Yachiyo or that there is an actual threesome going on here. Certainly not in the stupid way many artists depict it as if Kaguyabot is just Kaguya from before going back to the moon. Case closed.

Something some people seem not to get is also that Iroha in fact first tried to give Yachiyo a Yachiyo looking body. The YC Type body = Yachiyo. So making her look like Kaguya was in fact not the first move lol
It just so happens that Kaguya's soul is more compatible with this form, which is kind of logical. She is a data soul and the Kaguya body is literally a direct representation of that form. Yachiyo was just an avatar, so she could reshape it more.

The exact mechanism of how it works may be unclear, but Kaguya wanting to exist as both Kaguya and Yachiyo and playing them as different personalities is very obvious.
>>
>>4550120
This is only in your head. There is no evidence or reason to believe Yachiyo is "acting" out a different personality. You just see her actions with the Kaguya body as somehow different from her being Yachiyo, even though it would feel just as natural if she was in a Yachiyo body there. Take the scant moments that you hallucinate are more Kaguya-like and then imagine Yachiyo doing the same things and you will realize they don't actually feel off at all.

But do you know what does not sound like Kaguya at all? The scene on the mountain where she uses Yachiyo's speech pattern in the Ray MV.

>Take the scant moments that you hallucinate are more Kaguya-like and then imagine Yachiyo doing the same things and you will realize they don't actually feel off at all.
Yachiyo would never make drooling noises and yell about pancakes when she clearly knows her body doesn't have taste receptors. That's 100% her going Kaguya mode. But the really obvious one is her apparently restarting her idol career as Kaguya while continuing as Yachiyo, goddess of Tsukuyomi. And don't try to say anything about this just being a public performance when it's 100% voluntary.

>Yachiyo would never make drooling noises and yell about pancakes
hahahaha, yeah that would just be so strange! It would be really odd if there was an after credits scene where Yachiyo does exactly that or something. But that would require watching the entire movie, so we will never know if that scene exists.
>resuming her idol careet as Kaguya
So aside from the fact that we don't have a SINGLE piece of content that actually support the headcanon that Kaguya returns to streaming and that the comeback concert wasn't just a one-off thing she wanted to do out of nostalgia... what have I been saying from the very start? In the public's eye these are two different people. Not in private. That's the whole point. Yachiyo has to continue her activities as administrator, that's why the persona is kept alive. But Yachiyo in the Kaguyabot is still the 8000 year old Kaguya regardless. She can resume her Kaguya/Iro-P channel if she wants and she can publically acknowledge Yachiyo as a different entity, but she actually isn't. Yachiyo can just be herself inside the Kaguyabot and still be perceived as Kaguya.

The movie is not even hard to comprehend, your weird headcanon is just blinding you to the obvious. And clearly fanworks have already heavily influenced your perception. There is just nothing backing your imagination about a threesome and split personalities, while everything in the movie makes clear that this is a linear development from Kaguya -> Yachiyo -> Kaguyabot. All the same person. The Happy Ending was getting Yachiyo a body and that is exactly what happened. Making a separate Yachiyo who suffers the same way Kaguya did would be upending the whole point and making Yachiyo somehow return to being her former Kaguya self would just erase everything she gained in those 8000 years. Your understanding of the themes is lousy.

Okay, you got me there. I don't think it really changes my argument: she's using the refined Yachiyo persona to do Kaguya things to get a laugh out of Iroha. Her success implies she doesn't normally act like that as Yachiyo.

>the comeback concert wasn't just a one-off thing she wanted to do out of nostalgia
If that was the case, the announcer would have said so. It's called a fukkatsu in Japanese and comeback in English, both implying something more permanent than a one off.

>Yachiyo has to continue her activities as administrator
No she doesn't. She could hand the job off to someone else, do it as Kaguya or just shut down the whole thing. She wants to continue being Yachiyo.

>clearly fanworks have already heavily influenced your perception
The fanworks exist because the film and Ray insist on using the trio imagery for them.

>Making a separate Yachiyo who suffers the same way Kaguya did
I don't think they're actually separate people. The same entity controls both and has the same experiences. It's like if you were playing D&D and the same person played both the tragic elf sorceress and comic relief tiefling bard.

>>
>>4550226
>doesn't normally act like that
Yachiyo literally acts immature and whimsy all the time in the movie. You can say this is a front she puts on, but at the same time it's pretty obviously her Kaguya side showing through. She jumps around in joy, she makes dumb jokes, she does the animal roulette thing. Hell in the 2chan screenshots we saw her cussing and acting like an internet oldfag. She is clearly just as much of a wild card as Kaguya. There is just a core of maturity holding her together.
>comeback/revival concert
Which by all means can just be like a return tour rockstars have sometimes. It does not mean she goes back to being a full time streamer. This is a celebration of the fact that she finally got back a body and can be kaguya again.
Do I think it's likely that she will become a streamer again? Sure. But the movie doesn't actuall tell us either way. Yet you already treated it as a fact.
>she doesn't
She absolutely does. Because Tsukuyomi is something she created as her dream. It's not just a means to an end. She wants it to thrive and she is the one who keeps it going. There is no need to do it "as Kaguya" because she can already continue it as Yachiyo. Handing it off to someone else is something she can do once she is old enough to actually retire.
None of this supports your point.
>the fanworks exist because people have bad media literacy or prefer source material contradicting headcanons
Yeah no shit.
>they are not separate people
That much is fucking obvious. The point is that she is not "acting" like Kaguya. This isn't two different personalities and this is not a threesome. You literally acknowledge they are both the same, so how the hell can it be a threeway relationship? At best your own argument implies that Yachiyo is just pretending to be two people to spice up her love life with Iroha. Iroha knows they are both Yachiyo and they dont have independent thoughts and experiences, therefore this isn't a threesome.

>>
>>4549416
>>4550457
I finally got around to reading the novel, and these kind of statements make a little more sense now. There are several moments where the familial aspect to their relationship is played up, like Iroha commenting that she's knows Kaguya so well because she changed her diapers, Iroha noticing she's lecturing Kaguya like her mother, or the implication that the support/love she got from Yachiyo prior to meeting her was what she wanted from her mother. So I don't think it's wrong to see the mother/daughter angle to the relationship. But the overtly romantic aspects are just as present: Iroha describing Kaguya's expression when she proposes as "色っぽい", and comparing her feelings for Kaguya to her father's towards her mother.

You'd be wrong to deny that the relationship is romantic, but the mother/daughter aspect is definitely there. One doesn't preclude the other.

>>4550457
>>4550484
We went over this in all kinds of contexts by now, but it seems that basically everyone agrees on the fact that IroKagu's relationship is complicated and fills several dynamics. The mother/daughter angle is absolutely there, but that's just mommy issues.
The romantic love isn't debatable and there is nobody on staff who ever really denied it. Beyond that one time Natsuyoshi claimed it wasn't romantic love, but a general love or something vague like that (which goes directly against what she says in another interview, showing you how they are clearly told what to say during each interview).

>>4550481
It's just stupid Japanese interviews where they are as non-comittal as possible. Yamashita co-wrote (or at least heavily oversaw) the novel. He knows it's gay.

>>4550517
Yeah the novel heavily emphasizes both sides of their relationship. The romantic feelings are explicit, but there are constant comparison to motherhood in both directions. How Yachiyo feels like a mother to Iroha or how Iroha feels like a mother to Kaguya at first.

The fact that it goes both directions already shows you it's not intended like actual mother/daughter stuff. If they actually wanted a real pseudo-family relationship between them they wouldnt have made it so complicated.

Again, you don't marry your mother, unless you live in Taiyaki's universe.

What I find way more fascinating is how the movie cut out almost all of the mother/daughter implications between iroha and Kaguya/Yachiyo. It wasn't just the romantic stuff that was toned down, that part was also understated. I think that shows that it really wasn't an attempt to neuter the romance, but simply a side-effect of them cutting so much to make the movie a acceptable length (8000 seconds btw lol).

I can imagine a much worse universe were they kept all of the mommy complex stuff, but cut down the romantic content even more, to the point where all the idiots trying to deny the yuri would have much more to work with. Right now hetfags just use their usual denial tactics, but they always run out of arguments when you point at the unexplainable gay moments.

>It's just stupid Japanese interviews where they are as non-comittal as possible. Yamashita co-wrote (or at least heavily oversaw) the novel. He knows it's gay.
Yeah. He also always goes on about the songs being carefully selected, and they ended up deciding to have Kaguya cover Melt where she sings that she's falling in love romantically (恋) over and over for the credits and promo material... What could they mean by this /s

That's why I need them to do a MV for Melt. The fact that the only version available right now is a Miku cover of it seems almost like a joke.
If you make a Melt MV, even if it's movie footage again, it would be undeniably what the intention was.
Hell, even if it's just a static image of Kaguya with the damn umbrella looking at the screen, who the fuck else is she gonna sing this to, but Iroha? All the songs in the movie are for Iroha (except maybe "I love myself").

The thing about Melt is that it's a song about hopelessly falling in love without ever being able to convey those feelings as the other party obliviously makes her fall harder in love every day.
It doesn't feel like a Kaguya song, does it? She is super open about her feelings for Iroha. I would say this slight tsundereness would make the song a better fit for Iroha herself, but the crush in the song acts more like Iroha, so that also kinda doesnt fit.
Honestly, it may as well be a Yachiyo song. Yachiyo feels like she cant tell Iroha her feelings, despite carrying a crushing love of 8000 years.

But maybe that's the point. The song has a little bit of all three in it.

The contest is getting more competitive! Tetete is only there because you get a "certification" as best Iroha understander and she gives certificates (for wine).
>>
>>4550662
I mean it's a Hatsune Miku song first and foremost, now 18 years old and in a time where Miku was frequently portrayed as a tsundere (has twintails).

Yachiyo is too head over heels for Iroha compared to Miku for Melt to make sense. Miku is figuring out her feelings for her crush during the song, while Yachiyo already knows what she wants and how much she wants it.

The lyrics didn't get changed either for CPK, thus keeping the original meaning with Miku in mind.

Happy Synthesizer, Ray and World is Mine also are Vocaloid songs just given a cover.
>>
>>4550778
You aren't telling me anything new. But every other cover song was perfectly used and recontextualized to the point where you could believe it was made for the movie. No song here is random or wasted. So any nonsense about it being a Miku song firest misses the point.
>Ray
Also this is not a Vocaloid song. BUMP OF CHICKEN has Miku in the video, but it's mostly a normal pop song.
>>
I feel like the production team is trying to fucking gaslight me into pretending this isn't Yuri.

It's like all the NanoFate magazines expecting me to believe that two super duper Best Friends can sleep on the same bed and adopt a daughter platonically.

Like are they really so isolated from the world while working on the movie that they don't realize how gay everything is until it comes out and literally everyone can see it?
>>
>>4550884
Did you not pay attention to the explanations or what? Japanese interviews are always like this. Non-comittal and vague so not to offend anyone.
The intention that this is yuri is clear from everything the production team does. The movie itself obviously, the Light Novel which is explicit about the romance and the MVs that are also intentionally gay. They know this is yuri, they just don't blab about it openly beyond acknowledging the love between them without specifying what kind. If you read the Guidebook interviews though, they are way more candid in those. Like the VAs openly talking about how everything is driven by the love between IroKagu etc.
>>
>>4550662
At least it is official that Kaguya sung Melt somewhere in the anime.
>>
>>4550892
Yeah all the other cover songs on the official channel that didnt go into the movie too.
I wonder if she sang Melt while staring at Iroha, who had zero clue it was directed her way.
>>
>>4550884
>>4550890
As I said at the time, it seems that these interviews exist so that investors and other people who don't actually consume these products don't get scared or think they're supporting something obviously and ridiculously gay. If you saw the real thing (in this case, the movie), there wouldn't be any real doubt; any statement they make isn't going to change the actual content of the work.

>> Non-comittal and vague so not to offend anyone.
Honestly, I'm worried about the mental health and intelligence of a waifuhetfag if that's enough for them not to get offended or angry; it makes them even dumber than they already were.

Hetshitters and homophobes will take any excuse they can to imagine the gay away. They have to justify it to themselves that they liked the movie, so it can't possibly be yuri. Reminds me of those times where all the anti-woke grifters died trying to put blinders on when dealing with Baldur's Gate 3, one of the "wokest" games ever made, but insanely popular without question. Like we are talking about weirdoes modding the game to turn one of the lesbians in a canon couple into a dude just so they could pretend there is no gay in the game.

Anyway, the infinite yuri artworks, fanfics and doujins make pretty damn clear what the average person with a brain takes from the movie. And I haven't seen anyone yet who could actually deny the yuri when reading the novel.

I'm sure she at least left some hairs laying around

>>4551170
Aside from the fact that I assume all traces of Kaguya vanished alongside her, I kinda doubt Iroha kept hairs around. Not like she predicted this would happen.

The guided caption for the MtFuji scene says they’re unearthing a bamboo shoot shaped capsule apparently. If this is implying whatever Iroha made wasn’t good enough and they have to rely on some lunar magic to make Haguya a ‘real human’ this will drastically lower my opinion of the show. It’s just inferior narratively to the version where they bury it because it’s no longer needed. Burying also doesn’t spawn a second bamboo shoot that the audience have no information on at all, the worst implication of the second shoot is that the clever setup of Tale of the Bamboo cutter being a bootstrap paradox artifact would be completely undermined. I really hope this is just a subtitle fuckup but who knows.
