Dwango is streaming two Nico Nico linked music events in late 2026: the MECHATU-A first real live in October, and the Uta Odori Dai Taiban project it launched with Real Akiba in July, whose final event is set for December 5.
Dwango's 2026 activity on this beat runs through Nico Nico. In July it launched Uta Odori Dai Taiban with Real Akiba, a joint project aimed at creators who post singing and dance covers on the platform. An audition live called CHALLENGE STAGE is set for September 22 at ANTHEM AKIBA, with Sekihan and xxx project judging the singing and dance divisions. Outstanding performers earn a place at Uta Odori Dai Taiban 2026 on December 5.
The company's second commitment is a streamed concert. Dwango will carry the first real live by MECHATU-A, an eight-member male unit from the VTuber group Nijisanji, on Niconico Live Broadcasting on October 10, 2026. The event, MECHATU-A 1st LIVE "Over Drive!", is at K Arena Yokohama, with doors at 16:30 and a start at 18:00. The set draws on the unit's first mini album "On-Deck!", released in July 2026. Viewing tickets are 6,500 yen before fees, or 10,500 yen with an acrylic diorama bonus.
In both cases the company is the distributor rather than the producer: it streams the MECHATU-A live and co-runs the audition project, while the performers come from outside. The MECHATU-A stream carries the usual layered ticketing, with free opening viewing for those who cannot attend, a 16:45 pre-show broadcast, and a fastest impressions broadcast after the live, all on Niconico.
