NCT WISH, the 6-member global group called "Icons of Gen Z," to perform live at "Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 AUTUMN/WINTER"!

Award Inc. (CEO: Yuki Hase) is pleased to announce that Japan's largest fashion and music event, "Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 AUTUMN/WINTER," will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Halls 1-3 of Makuhari Messe. We are now announcing additional豪華 performers. As artists, NCT WISH, a group garnering significant attention in the global music market with their youthful and fresh charm, will be performing. The catchphrase of NCT WISH, "WISH for Our WISH," embodies the meaning of "supporting and fulfilling the wishes and dreams of all people through music and love." The group consists of six members: SION, RIKU, YUSHI, JAEHEE, RYO, and SAKUYA. They made their global debut as NCT WISH on February 21, 2024, at "SMTOWN LIVE 2024 SMCU PALACE @TOKYO." Following their debut announcement, they have continuously set remarkable records, achieving first place on music shows in Korea just 8 days after their debut. Their singles released in Japan, "WISH" and "Songbird," and their mini-album "WISHLIST" have all received Gold Disc certifications. Following their Korean mini-albums "poppop" and "COLOR" released in 2025, their 2026 Korean 1st full album "Ode to Love" achieved triple million-seller status. On Wednesday, July 15th, their Japan Double A-Side Single "YO-I-DON! / BOY MEETS GIRL" is scheduled for release. A phenomenon called "Wishcore," inspired by NCT WISH, has also emerged, and they are gathering fervent support as "Icons of Gen Z" leading youth trends. NCT WISH will energize the GirlsAward venue, marking their return after two years since their last appearance in 2024! Furthermore, a special MEN'S NON-NO stage is set to celebrate the magazine's 40th anniversary! This stage will feature exclusive models including Oji Suzuka, who stars in the live-action adaptation of the popular Korean webtoon "Viral Hit" (released globally on Netflix on June 11th); Yundai Toyota, who is active as a model and actor and recently held his first fan meeting in Taipei, demonstrating his high popularity; and Kota Nomura, who is currently gaining significant attention with his role in the movie "Blue Lock" scheduled for release in August and the launch of his new podcast program "Kota Nomura's All Night Nippon PODCAST" produced by Nippon Broadcasting System. Also, the winners of the "41st Men's Non-no Model Audition" will be announced on this stage during the magazine's 40th-anniversary year! Models gracing the runway include Olin, who is in high demand for variety shows and commercials and last month announced the production of a local revitalization project in her hometown of Aomori under the theme "New Challenge"; Kanon, an exclusive model for "non-no" magazine and an actress who has appeared in numerous works; Yui Kobayashi, who made her solo debut as "yousti" in August 2025 after graduating from Sakurazaka46 and released her highly anticipated 1st Single "Game of Life" in March this year; and Yuuchami, who is expanding her career, including being chosen as the heroine in her first film appearance in "Agito - Superpower War -". Additionally, the official event website, featuring a cute world view with a collaborative key visual using Monchhichi, is now open! The theme for this event is "Love Me!!!" This theme carries the wish for GirlsAward, celebrating its 30th event, to be a presence that continues to be loved across generations, much like Monchhichi. We will continue to announce more豪華 performers and special content information sequentially.
