ANYCOLOR Inc. has announced that Nijisanji VTuber Fuwa Minato‘s new single “ECLIPSE” will be released on December 9, 2026, and that his 2nd solo live “VORTEX” will be held at Nippon Budokan on March 3, 2027.

New Single “ECLIPSE” Available in 3 Editions

“ECLIPSE” will be released in three editions: Limited Edition A (¥3,850 — CD + ECLIPSE system organizer, alternate jacket sticker, and tri-fold slipcase), Limited Edition B (¥2,750 — CD + bonus cover CD), and Regular Edition (¥1,870 — CD only). Each edition contains 4 tracks, and the first pressing of all editions includes a photo card (1 random card from 3 designs) and a serial code for priority lottery entry to the Budokan live.

Pre-orders are available at the Nijisanji Official Store, Animate, Tower Records, HMV, and other CD retailers nationwide. Each store is also offering exclusive purchase bonuses.

Lead Track “Kiss in Front of the Mirror” — Early Streaming & MV Release

The single’s lead track “Kiss in Front of the Mirror” (Kagami no Mae de Kiss wo Shiro.) has been available for streaming on major platforms since September 1. The track was produced by the duo of SHIROSE (WHITE JAM) and Dazsta, who previously worked on “Ikebukuro Sunshine” and “Tattoo.” The music video is also available, starring Stanmi Japan in the lead role.

First-Ever Nippon Budokan Solo Concert by a Male VTuber

“Fuwa Minato 2nd LIVE ‘VORTEX,'” scheduled for March 3, 2027, will be the first-ever Nippon Budokan solo concert by a male VTuber. Doors open at 16:30 and the show starts at 18:00. Further details including ticket information will be announced on Nijisanji’s official X account and other channels.

Additionally, release commemoration events are planned, including a two-shot photo session hosted by Animate on April 2, 2027, and another hosted by HMV on April 9.

Looking Ahead

The CD jacket designs and store-exclusive purchase bonus designs will be revealed at a later date. Priority lottery entry for the Budokan live can be accessed via the serial codes included in the CDs, and early pre-orders are recommended as this is limited to the first pressing.

Commentary and Outlook

The announcement of the first-ever Nippon Budokan solo concert by a male VTuber represents a major milestone for the VTuber industry. Having built on his 1st live “Cheers with you,” Fuwa Minato has been steadily expanding his career as an artist, and the simultaneous announcement of a new single and Budokan concert exemplifies that momentum. The strategy of including priority lottery serial codes for the Budokan live in all CD editions is clearly aimed at creating a synergy between CD sales and concert attendance.
