The official YouTube channel for the Netflix film “Cosmic Princess Kaguya!” has released the full video of the live performance by the character Kaguya, which took place on the VR platform “VRChat”.
The video released is a live performance of the song “I Like Myself.” This marks the first time that Kaguya (voiced by Natsuyoshi Yuuko) has performed the entire song, which was produced by HoneyWorks. The video includes a special version, featuring a surprise addition made during the final week of the performances (March 7th-8th).
This live performance was held as part of the “Sanrio Virtual Festival 2026,” a VR music festival event held within “Virtual Sanrio Puroland,” a permanent VR theme park operated by Sanrio Co., Ltd. on “VRChat.” Approximately 27,000 people participated in the first performance at noon on February 15th, setting a new record for the highest number of simultaneous connections for an event within Virtual Sanrio Puroland.
During the same time period, the total number of concurrent users on “VRChat” reached 156,716, setting a new record for the highest number of concurrent users by approximately 8,000. Even after the final performance on March 8th, many people expressed a desire to watch it even without a VR environment and to watch it again and again, leading to the decision to release the entire performance online.
