DWANGO Co., Ltd. has announced that NIJISANJI liver Kanae will hold “Kanae 2nd LIVE Solitude” at Tokyo International Forum on July 31, 2026 (Fri), with an exclusive domestic live stream on Niconico. This marks his first solo concert in approximately three years since his 1st concert in 2023, and will feature seven guests including Higuchi Kaede, Kenmochi Touya, and Shiina Yuika.

First Solo Show in 3 Years, Featuring Debut Album ‘Ai’

Kanae debuted in May 2018 and has built a following with his soothing voice and gaming streams. Since 2022, he has also been active as an artist under Bandai Namco Music Live’s “Lantis” label. This concert will center on tracks from his 1st full album “Ai,” released in February 2026, delivering a unique world built around the theme of “solitude.”

7 Guests With Deep Ties Since Debut

The seven guests are all NIJISANJI livers who have shared close connections with Kanae since his 2018 debut. Fans can look forward to collaborative performances with Higuchi Kaede, Kenmochi Touya, Shiina Yuika, Saegusa Akina, Kagami Hayato, Hoshikawa Sara, and Koyanagi Rou. Kanae himself commented, “I’ll make it the best live possible with these guests who mean so much to me.”

3 Camera Angles Available for Online Viewing

The Niconico live stream offers three ticket types: the standard main show, a “Liver Camera” that follows Kanae exclusively, and a “Venue Fixed Camera” providing a full-stage view. The opening portion of the concert will be available to watch for free. Tickets are on sale from July 9 through August 17 at DWANGO Ticket.

What’s Coming Next

On the day of the concert, Ibrahim will host a pre-show broadcast starting at 5:15 PM with Hyakka Ryoran serving as an on-site reporter, streamed for free. Timeshift viewing is available from the end of the live broadcast until August 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM, with unlimited replays. This summer is packed with NIJISANJI solo concerts—Lauren Iroas’s first solo live is also being held at Tokyo International Forum on July 30.

Outlook

With this being his first solo concert in three years, anticipation is high to see how the tracks from his 1st album “Ai” and the theme of “solitude” will translate into stage production. All seven guests are members with deep connections dating back to Kanae’s early days, making the lineup a deeply meaningful one for fans. The three-camera streaming option is also a welcome consideration for fans unable to attend in person. Combined with other NIJISANJI liver solo shows happening around the same time, the NIJISANJI live scene is set for an exciting summer.
