Nijisanji held a live concert titled 'Uncharted Spheres' at Makuhari Messe on May 15, themed around planets assigned to each performer. The event featured 3D debuts and first live appearances, with acts ranging from energetic anime songs to a cappella. The report notes the format is a challenging departure from previous Nijisanji concerts.
The venue was decorated with large planet balloons and opened with classical music from Holst's 'The Planets' suite. Saotome Berry made her 3D debut and first live appearance with an energetic cover of 'Los! Los! Los!,' drawing a strong crowd reaction. Chima Machita followed with an a cappella rendition of Hikaru Utada's 'Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro,' a stripped-down choice the report calls a brave programming decision. Tōdō Kohaku, also in her first live, performed with backup dancers on songs 'Utsukushiku Are!' and 'Kuroi Shizuku.' Joe Rikiichi, assigned the planet Uranus, was anticipated to deliver a song matching that theme, though the report cuts off before revealing his set.
