Individual tickets cost 4,500 yen and a two-performance set pass 8,000 yen, with the archive running until December 20. The Tokyo performance stays offline.
Merchandise runs alongside the events. Halloween-limited goods for FouRTe Project opened for pre-order on October 27, 2026, on the group's official store, with a one-week window closing November 3. The lineup has five products built on the seven members in Halloween costumes, including an A2 poster at 1,500 yen and acrylic stands at 2,000 yen each. GENKI lists Hirotaka Mori and president Motoyuki Oi as executive producers. The group debuted on September 25, 2025, and held its 1st LIVE, "ALL IN," at Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO) in August 2026.
Outside the idol unit, Genki began free distribution of the "MINI GT Collaboration Guest Rival DLC" for Tokyo Xtreme Racer on September 25, 2026, adding three diecast-brand cars as guest rivals and a 1979 Datsun Sunny Truck.

Genki began free distribution of the "MINI GT Collaboration Guest Rival DLC" for Tokyo Xtreme Racer on September 25, 2026 at 18:00. Three diecast-brand cars join as guest rivals: the 1997 Toyota Supra RZ (JZA80), the 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II (BNR34), and the 2022 Honda Civic Type R (FL5). Winning a battle lets the player add the car to their garage as a custom car. The same DLC adds a new vehicle, the 1979 Datsun Sunny Truck 1200 Long Body Deluxe (GB121), which appears as a MINI GT rival and can be bought at the in-game dealer. The update Ver.1.6.0 also went out that day, adding DLC support, a pause when the controller connection drops, and bug fixes. The free Guest Rivals Vol. 3 download is limited-time, with no end date set.
