Anime and wearable tech are colliding in the most dazzling way possible! Fans of director Shingo Yamashita’s musical anime film Super Kaguya Princess! are in for a luxurious treat. Lifestyle brand GARRACK has officially unveiled a premium merchandise line featuring stylish smartwatches and traditional gold-leaf acrylic display stands inspired by the film’s beloved trio: Kaguya, Iroha Sakayori, and Yachiyo Tsukimi.
High-Tech Meets Neon Aesthetics: The Smartwatch Lineup
Each smartwatch is customized to match the unique aesthetic and vibe of its respective character, blending everyday functionality with charming anime gimmicks. Beyond fitness and health tracking features like stress monitoring and workout modes, the watches pack an impressive battery life of up to 10 days on a single charge with fast-charging support.
The interactive watch faces are where the magic truly happens:
- Interactive Visuals: Tapping the screen triggers randomized character art, while background visual effects shift dynamically every second.
- Lunar Battery Meter: In homage to the original Tale of the Bamboo Cutter folklore, the moon phase on the watch face changes in real time based on your remaining battery percentage!
- Music at Your Fingertips: Each watch features an iconic shortcut icon that takes you directly to the music player, complete with pre-installed soundtrack hits from the film:
- Kaguya Model (¥39,600): Tap the Doge icon to play “Shunkan, Symphony.”
- Iroha Sakayori Model (¥39,600): Tap the flapjack octopus icon to trigger “Reply.”
- Yachiyo Tsukimi Model (¥39,600): Tap the sea slug icon to launch “Hoshifuru Umi.”
Each model comes packaged in an exclusive character-themed collector’s box. Fans can also opt for a special bundle that includes an original wireless power bank that doubles as a display charger for both the smartwatch and smartphones.
Traditional Craftsmanship: Kanazawa Gold Leaf Acrylic Stands
For collectors who want to brighten up their shelves, GARRACK is also releasing three-layer luxury acrylic stands (priced at ¥11,000 each). Designed to recreate dynamic live concert scenes, the backdrop utilizes genuine Kanazawa foil (gold leaf)—one of Japan’s most prestigious traditional crafts—giving the artwork a radiant, shimmering depth that perfectly mirrors the film’s vibrant world.
Pre-orders for both the smartwatches and the gold-leaf acrylic stands open on October 2, with the official release slated for October 23. As an added bonus, early smartwatch buyers will receive an exclusive lenticular “changing card” on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last!
