Get Ready to Move! Nijisanji Fes 2026 Announces 'Nijisanji Gymnastics No. 1' with Mito Tsukino and Minato Fuwa

Fans of the popular VTuber group "Nijisanji" have plenty to look forward to at the upcoming large-scale event, "Nijisanji Fes 2026." It has been officially announced that a new attraction song titled "Nijisanji Taiso Dai-ichi" (Nijisanji Gymnastics No. 1) will be added to the lineup, sparking a massive wave of excitement across social media.

This new track is specifically designed for the event's interactive attraction, the "NijiDANCE☆Try Dancing Booth." Taking center stage are Mito Tsukino as the "Singing Older Sister" and Minato Fuwa as the "Singing Older Brother." Joining them as special guests (or "friends") are fellow VTubers Ichigo Ushimi and Tamako Kirame, making for a star-studded cast. Following the release of booth concept images and guidelines on official social media channels, fans were quick to share their joy, with comments like "Minato Fuwa is perfect as the 'Health Older Brother'" and "Mito’s ponytail look is so fresh and cute."

The music video (MV) for the song is scheduled to premiere at 6:30 AM on April 27. This early morning release—reminiscent of traditional Japanese radio gymnastics—has become a hot topic. Fans are already eager to start their day with the VTubers, with many commenting, "I want to get healthy by dancing with them in the morning" and "I’m making this my new morning routine." The song seems poised to become a staple "Nijisanji-style" health habit.

The creative team behind the project includes KoTa, who handled lyrics, composition, and arrangement, while Hinofu provided the logo design and illustrations. Together, they have captured the vibrant and fun-filled world of Nijisanji in both sound and visuals. Detailed participation guidelines have been posted on the Nijisanji Fes 2026 special website, further fueling the anticipation as fans prepare for the big event.

The context

Nijisanji is one of Japan's leading virtual YouTuber (VTuber) agencies, managed by ANYCOLOR Inc. The group hosts "Nijisanji Fes," a massive annual or biennial festival where fans can interact with their favorite digital avatars through live performances, exhibits, and interactive booths.

This specific attraction, "Nijisanji Gymnastics No. 1," pays homage to "Rajio Taiso" (Radio Gymnastics), a long-standing Japanese tradition where people of all ages perform a standardized set of exercises broadcast on public radio (NHK) at 6:30 AM. The roles of "Singing Older Sister" (Uta no Oneesan) and "Singing Older Brother" (Uta no Oniisan) are a direct nod to the hosts of legendary long-running Japanese children's educational programs like "Okaasan to Issho." By blending these cultural staples with their modern VTuber personalities, Nijisanji is creating a nostalgic yet fresh experience for their audience.

"Make Gehenna Great Again!": New Faction "Gehenna Restoration Committee" Sparks Huge Buzz in Blue Archive

A recent main story teaser from the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the popular mobile RPG Blue Archive has ignited massive excitement among fans. The spotlight is turning back to Gehenna Academy—famously known as the "School of Freedom and Chaos"—with the introduction of a new faction calling itself the "Gehenna Restoration Committee." Rallying under the slogan "Make Gehenna Great Again!", the group seeks to bring back the academy's former sense of order. Currently, Gehenna is defined by a delicate power struggle between the chaotic Pandemonium Society (led by Makoto) and the strict Prefect Team (led by Hina). However, Gehenna's history includes a period where a powerful figure known as the "Thunder Emperor" enforced absolute control. Fans on social media are already diving deep into theories, wondering if the "past order" desired by this new committee refers to the tyrant Thunder Emperor's reign, or if the moveme...
