On May 15, the day before Nijisanji Fest 2026, eight Nijisanji livers performed a two-part live show themed around planets at Makuhari Messe. Each performer represented a planet, with a first half that minimized MC segments and a second half that followed a more standard live format.
The eight performers and their assigned planets were Yashiro Kizuku as Earth, Joe Rikiichi as Uranus, Machita Chima as Saturn, Inui Toko as Jupiter, Nagao Kei as Neptune, Todo Kohaku as Venus, Iba Rai as Mercury, and Saotome Berry as Mars. The show opened with a cover of "Sokyuu no Fanfare" and was split into two halves. The first half followed the live's planetary world concept and included an unusual choice: songs were performed with almost no MC segments. The second half reverted to a setlist more typical of regular Nijisanji lives. Highlights included Saotome's opening song "Los! Los! Los!" with flame effects, and a four-part harmony performance of "Gunjou" that drew audience clapping.
- Yashiro Kizuku: Earth
- Joe Rikiichi: Uranus
- Machita Chima: Saturn
- Inui Toko: Jupiter
- Nagao Kei: Neptune
- Todo Kohaku: Venus
- Iba Rai: Mercury
- Saotome Berry: Mars
