Black onyX Will Appear at anan AWARD 2026 in a Ceremony Video
The group already carried an anan cover in May, so the ceremony slot moves an anime-film act into a general-interest magazine's awards lineup, with the category itself held back until the event.

Black onyX, the pro-gamer group in the anime film Cho Kaguya-hime!, will appear by video at anan AWARD 2026, the magazine's annual award for figures who define the era. The ceremony runs Saturday, November 14 from 13:30 and streams on anan's official YouTube channel. Actor Akari Takashi, soccer player Ayase Ueda, and jockey Ryusei Sakai join the second round of announced performers. The group's specific award will be revealed on the day.
The three members of Black onyX appear in the film as rivals to Kaguya and Iroha Sakayori in the virtual space Tsukuyomi, and they also perform the in-story song "OnyXXX." The team is voiced by Miyu Irino as leader Akira Mikado, Yuma Uchida as Rai Komazawa, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Noi Komazawa.
Their anan link predates the ceremony: issue 2495, released May 13, put all three on the cover alongside a feature on the film. The ceremony video comes roughly half a year later. Kiyotaka Yamashita directed Cho Kaguya-hime!, an original film built on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter and set against vocaloids, virtual spaces, and streamers. It streamed on Netflix and then ran in theaters, with box office revenue above 3.4 billion yen so far.
