At the 22/7 live "Fivesta" on May 24, the idol group performed alongside Sony's groovots swarm robots. Five medium groovots units displayed chibi character images and moved in formation with the five second-generation members, creating a ten-performer stage. The large groovots unit showed character images during monologue scenes. The robots had previously appeared at a Kisaragi Chihaya solo show in January and a Nananiji live in February.
The five medium groovots units, each with LEDs on four sides, displayed newly introduced chibi character images and moved in formation with the five second-generation members, creating a ten-performer stage. The large groovots unit showed character images during monologue scenes. The robots had previously appeared at a Kisaragi Chihaya solo show in January and a Nananiji live in February. The collaboration began after a Nananiji staff member saw groovots at a Sony cross-divisional technology meeting and suggested a joint stage.
