Nijisanji VTuber Fuwa Minato announced a new single and a second solo live on August 31. The single "ECLIPSE" releases December 9, 2026, and the live, "Fuwa Minato 2nd LIVE VORTEX," takes place at Nippon Budokan on March 3, 2027. The Budokan show is the first solo live by a male VTuber at the venue; female VTubers and virtual singers including Hoshimachi Suisei and Kaf have performed there before. Reservations for the single opened August 31 at 21:00. The lead track, "Kiss in Front of the Mirror," begins streaming September 1 at 0:00, and its music video premieres August 31 at 21:05 on Fuwa Minato's YouTube channel, starring streamer Stanmi Japan. The track was produced by SHIROSE (WHITE JAM) and Dazsta, the team behind "Ikebukuro Sunshine." The single ships in three editions: a limited edition A at 3,850 yen, a limited edition B at 2,750 yen, and a regular edition at 1,870 yen. All first-press copies include a random photo card and a serial code for the VORTEX ticket lottery.
The announcement pairs the single with the live in one campaign: every first-press copy of "ECLIPSE," in any of the three editions, includes a photo card drawn at random from three designs and a serial code for the advance lottery for "VORTEX" tickets. The limited edition A adds a system notebook, an alternate jacket sticker, and a three-sided sleeve, while the limited edition B includes a bonus cover CD.
Retailers run separate bonuses. The Nijisanji official store offers a paid acrylic stand billed as "Dining table feat. Fuwa Minato" and a free "ECLIPSE VIP card," while Animate, Tower Records, Rakuten Books, Amazon, HMV, Seven Net Shopping, and Sony Music Shop each attach their own item, from stickers and clear cards to posters and badges. The Budokan show follows Fuwa Minato's 1st live "Cheers with you," and the March 3, 2027 date has doors at 16:30 and the show at 18:00. The lead track is described as an aggressive dance tune about two people reflected in a mirror.
