Illustrator and VTuber Shigure Ui held her first solo live in about one year and eight months, "SHIGURE UI Birthday Live 'Wishing Umbrella'," at K Arena Yokohama on May 30, 2026. The 23-song, two-hour-fifteen-minute show featured new costumes, a sub-stage on the arena's upper levels, and surprise appearances by Hololive members Houshou Marine and Poko-Pei.
Shigure Ui opened the show with "Houkago Mermaid" from her first album "Mada Ame wa Yamanai," descending from an aerial swing in her fifth-anniversary costume. The third song, "No thank Cute!," debuted a new circus-themed outfit and hairstyle, followed by a second new circus costume variation for "Shinkaikei Sketch."
Houshou Marine appeared as the first guest, praising Ui's six-song nonstop opening set. The sub-stage on level five of the arena allowed Ui to perform closer to upper-tier seats, a feature she said she wanted to implement after attending concerts there as a fan.
