Why it matters

The second day put four virtual singers on the same bill at an event that started in a Shibuya club in August 2023, and the report treats their sets as ordinary festival programming rather than a novelty slot.

On day two, KMNZ opened the Night Stage at 12:45, Sana Natori took the Hike Stage after 14:40 with a set that included new song Himitsu Kagi and a duet with KAF, and Kizuna AI also appeared.

KMNZ played the Night Stage at 12:45 in T-shirts and shorts, working through Synchronizer, POPSTA and Ride On before GROWL, META FICTION and a closing DROP IN. Sana Natori's Hike Stage set after 14:40 opened with Mondai Night Tripper and gave new song Himitsu Kagi its first live performance; KAF joined her for No Guest, in the Teatro. The report frames the day around how each act filled a different role on the bill.
