Kadokawa announced on September 20, 2026, at the "Machisuba Special Stage in TGS2026," that Machico's new song "WOOHOO!" is the theme song for the KonoSuba game "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! ~Prosperity to This Lovable Town!~" (Machisuba). The track was written for the game. Ikuko Iijima handled lyrics and composition, and Koji Mizuguchi handled arrangement. Machico, who has sung theme songs for the KonoSuba anime, said the song is packed with the power to make a chaotic everyday more lively. The game is an otherworld trouble life RPG with an original story, supervised by original author Natsume Akatsuki with cooperation from illustrator Kurone Mishima. Kadokawa plans distribution in 2026 for PC and mobile, with the date undecided. An X campaign runs from September 20 to September 28, drawing two winners who follow the official account and repost the designated post to receive canvas art bearing Machico's handwritten autograph.
The TGS2026 stage ran on September 20 from 15:00 at the DMM GAMES booth, streamed online, with Jun Fukushima (Kazuma) and Kadokawa game producer Daiki Fujii as guests and Hyakka Ryouran as MC. The archive is still available.
The game's cast carries the anime lineup: Sora Amamiya as Aqua, Rie Takahashi as Megumin, and Ai Kayano as Darkness alongside Fukushima. Pre-registration is open on the App Store and Google Play, and a PC release on DMM GAMES is set. The price is basically free with some paid items. Kadokawa's own materials describe it as an otherworld trouble life RPG that keeps the anime's world and characters while running an original story.
Machico already sang opening themes for the anime series, including "fantastic dreamer" and "TOMORROW." Her campaign runs through September 28 at 23:59, and the prize is canvas art signed by hand rather than printed.
