HIMEHINA is the duo of Hime Tanaka and Hina Suzuki, who began activities together in 2018 and built their following on singing and dancing rather than the variety streaming that carried many virtual units of their generation. KAI-YOU notes the pair have continued activities since the early days of the VTuber scene, and their YouTube channel passed 1 million subscribers in December 2024 before reaching 1.13 million subscribers and more than 700 million total video views by October 2026.
The Budokan goal traces to a specific turning point. At "Chochin Anko, Natsu wo Yuku" at Omiya Sonic City on August 5, 2023, the pair announced they would scale back the YouTube variety projects they had run in parallel and fully launch their music activities, with the slogan "Within 5 years! Budokan solo concert!" KAI-YOU describes that concert as the turning point.
The show is billed as "HIMEHINA LIVE 2027 'BUDOKAN (tentative)'" at Nippon Budokan, 2-3 Kitanomaru Park, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Organizer is Studio LaRa, with planning and production by Studio LaRa and LIFE, and operation and cooperation by DISK GARAGE.
