Meta Osaka Inc. will hold “XNAMBA PARTY Vol.2,” a daytime club event where virtual artists (VTubers) and DJs perform together, on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the Namba live house “Yogibo META VALLEY” in Osaka. A total of 11 acts including Rene Ryugasaki and Wani to Koumori will perform, with a 14:00 start and 20:00 finish designed so attendees can enjoy the event without worrying about the last train. Tickets are on sale now.

A Club Event Starting at 2 p.m. That You Can Enjoy Without Worrying About the Last Train

The biggest feature of “XNAMBA PARTY” is its “daytime” style, starting at 14:00 and finishing at 20:00. Unlike conventional club events that run until late at night, attendees can join without worrying about the last train, and people who do not drink as well as younger fans in their teens can take part with peace of mind. Same-day round trips from outside the Kansai region are also possible, and the first edition drew many comments such as “I came on a day trip from Tokyo.”

The venue, “Yogibo META VALLEY,” puts the floor and the performers close together, so you can experience the performances right before your eyes. It is a stage where virtual artist live shows intersect with DJ and VJ performances, delivering a new form of entertainment.

11 Acts Including Rene Ryugasaki and Wani to Koumori Take the Stage

The lineup features Rene Ryugasaki, Bellemule from DEN-ON-BU, and Wani to Koumori on LIVE; D.watt, Ehara Miori, TAMU, gaburyu, N4G1t, and Negitoro on DJ; and hakurin and poifull on VJ, bringing together a lavish roster of 11 acts in total.

Rene Ryugasaki, making a return following her appearance at “XNAMBA MUSIC FESTIVAL,” commented, “I want it to be a time where everyone who comes leaves thinking not just ‘I watched a live show’ but ‘that day, I spent time together with Rene Ryugasaki.'” Wani to Koumori, also appearing for a second time after the previous edition, is likewise expected to deliver a performance with the close sense of distance unique to a live house.

A Kansai-Born Virtual Music Project Following the Expo and Zepp Namba

Until now, large-scale live events for virtual artists have been concentrated in Tokyo, but “XNAMBA PARTY” was created as a place to experience that energy in Kansai. It is part of a project that follows the first edition at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, in May 2025, and “XNAMBA MUSIC FESTIVAL,” which drew about 1,800 people at Zepp Namba in September of the same year.

“XNAMBA PARTY Vol.1” in April 2026 welcomed 250 attendees from 23 prefectures across Japan, presenting a new form of entertainment to Kansai. This second edition will be held on an even larger scale, centered on the close artist-to-audience distance that only a live house can offer.

What’s Ahead and Ticket Information

Tickets come in three types, VIP (¥12,000, with five major perks), General (¥7,000), and Student (¥4,000), all on sale now at LivePocket (each ticket type also requires a separate ¥600 drink charge at entry). The expected attendance is about 400 people.

The latest information will be announced from time to time on the official site and official X account. As a Kansai-born virtual music project, it is expected to expand even further in scale going forward.

Impressions and Outlook

In a virtual artist live scene that tends to be concentrated in Tokyo, the great significance of “XNAMBA PARTY” lies in steadily building up continuous events based in Kansai. Its stance of nurturing locally rooted energy while flexibly changing scale and format, across the Expo, Zepp Namba, and now a daytime club, makes it a fine example of culture being broadcast from the regions. Its design, which lets students take part without worrying about the last train, also functions as an entry point for new fans, and it is a venue worth watching as a place to broaden the base of the Kansai VTuber music scene.
