Second Wave of Performing Artists Announced!

Nagano Aniera Festa 2026, Nagano Prefecture's largest anisong outdoor festival, has announced its second wave of performing artists.

Following the first announcement, new artists and content have been confirmed, gradually revealing the full scope of the festival.

For DAY 1 on Saturday, September 19th, six new acts have been confirmed.

"Uma Musume Pretty Derby," which transcends the boundaries of anime and games and is supported by many fans, will make its first appearance at Nagano Aniera Festa.

Four members will grace the Nagano stage: Tomoyo Takayanagi as Oguri Cap, Naomi Oozora as Tamamo Cross, Haruno Inoue as Inari One, and Ayumi Hibara as Yaeno Mute.

Next, "ChouCho," who will celebrate their 20th anniversary next year, will perform for the first time since Nagano Aniera Festa 2019.

She has performed theme songs for numerous anime works such as "Hyouka" and "Girls und Panzer," as well as the ending theme song for the TV anime "Tsurune: Kazemai High School Kyudo Club," which is set in Nagano Prefecture.

Similarly, "nano.RIPE," who has walked alongside many works such as "Hanasaku Iroha" and "Non Non Biyori," will also make their first appearance at Nagano Aniera Festa.
It will be interesting to see what kind of stage they deliver with their long-loved songs.

Also joining the lineup this time is "Yoshino Nanjo," who last performed at Nagano Aniera Festa in 2023.
Despite being her first appearance then, she captivated the stage in an instant with her singing voice and performance.

She returns to the Nagano Aniera Festa stage after a 3-year hiatus.

Furthermore, "Yuki Tanaka," who energized the stage in an instant with her first appearance last year, is also confirmed for DAY 1 this year.
Attention is drawn to her performance, honed by various live experiences over the past year.

Additionally, "Letra" from "vα-liv" will perform for the second consecutive year.
Please look forward to a passionate stage that transcends the boundaries of virtual and real.

For DAY 2 on Sunday, September 20th, seven new acts have been confirmed.

"Lia," who was scheduled to perform at the "Nagano Aniera Festa 2020 to 2021" which was unfortunately canceled, will finally appear at Nagano Aniera Festa.
After studying vocal music at Berklee College of Music, she debuted as the vocalist for the theme song "Tori no Uta" and insert song "Aozora" for the game, TV, and theatrical anime "AIR" while residing in the United States.
Since then, she has performed theme songs for popular works such as "CLANNAD ~AFTER STORY~," "Angel Beats!," "FORTUNE ARTERIAL: Akai Yakusoku," "Charlotte," and "planetarian: Hoshi no Hito."
This globally popular artist, who is active in various countries beyond Japan, makes her comeback to the Nagano stage after a 5-year wait.

And "Shiyui," who made her major debut with the ending theme song for the TV anime "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury," will make her first appearance at Nagano Aniera Festa.

Continuing her activities with roots in net music and digital illustration, she captivates many listeners with her unique expressive power.
Attention is focused on the performances these two artists, making their DAY 2 debut, will deliver.

Next, "Riko Sasaki," who made her first appearance last year, is confirmed to perform not only as a solo artist but also as a member of "Precure Singers" this year.

Similarly, "Kaya," who first appeared last year as part of "UTAHIME DREAM All Stars," will also perform as a solo artist this year.
She will appear on two stages, including "UTAHIME DREAM All Stars."

Attention is drawn to the performances of these two artists, who showcase different charms both solo and in units.

Next up is "ZAQ," making their third appearance.
Last year, she not only performed her own songs but also performed self-covers of songs she had written, greatly exciting the venue.

ZAQ, who has been active for many years not only as a singer but also as a creator, will deliver what kind of stage this year is anticipated.

Also, "Precure Singers," returning for the second consecutive year, will perform with a new lineup of Ami Ishii, Riko Sasaki, and Yuka Masui.
They will energize the venue with songs from the "Precure" series, loved by generations.

"Omegasis," who were scheduled to perform in 2024, will finally make their debut at Nagano Aniera Festa two years after their planned appearance was canceled due to the event's suspension.
Their long-awaited revenge performance will be realized.

Nagano Aniera Festa 2026 plans to announce additional artists in the future.
Please enjoy this musical festival, which can only be experienced in a special space surrounded by Shinshu's great nature.
