Hololive

Hololive is running a dense merchandise and event slate in late 2026, with a Shaft-drawn Monogatari and holoX exhibition key visual set for a January 2027 Shibuya run and a FiGGYZ magnet pre-order window opening November 25. On the music side, Houshou Marine is out of hololive RECORDS MUSIC STAGE 2027 for vocal cord treatment, and Tsunomaki Watame takes her DAY2 slot.

Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated 8h ago

The throughline across these stories is hololive's expansion into physical and licensed formats: apparel, capsule toys, prize figures, card games, karaoke screenings, and a convention stage in South Korea. The most recent stories put a Shaft-drawn key visual on the Monogatari and holoX exhibition (January 3 to January 22, 2027 at Shibuya BEAM Gallery) and set a FiGGYZ Pop Magnet pre-order run from November 25 to December 25, 2026. A Dengeki Hobby Web read ranking for October 2026 puts the Ichiban Kuji FLOW GLOW lineup first, followed by Gundam x Hololive Gashapon figures.

On the music side, the hololive RECORDS label live in January 2027 proceeds without Houshou Marine, who withdrew to treat vocal cord nodules. Tsunomaki Watame takes her place on DAY2, joining Shirakami Fubuki, Kobo Kanaeru, and FLOW GLOW, while DAY1 stays as announced with AZKi, Sakura Miko, Hakos Baelz, and ReGLOSS. The event is the first real live for hololive RECORDS, the label set up in July 2025.

The merchandise line is split across price tiers and channels. BANDAI SPIRITS has a full Ichiban Kuji hololive FLOW GLOW lineup at 790 yen per draw from November 13, 2026, with member art boards and a marumoru group drawing. It also has a hololive IF Relax Time prize figure of Juufuutei Raden from November 25 and painted prototypes for Fuwamoco figures due in crane games in March 2027. Bandai's Gundam MOBILE SUIT ENSEMBLE hololive production Collaboration Vol.1 pairs a white and blue Gundam with a Crossbone Gundam X1 [Houshou Marine Ver.] at 1,000 yen per play, with orders to November 24 and shipping around late March 2027.

hololive Dreams, the QualiArts and Cover rhythm and RPG title on iOS, Android, and Steam, has a Halloween point rally event from October 28 and an official booth at AGF 2026 in South Korea from December 4 to 6. The hololive Meet program continues with a third Tokyo Otaku Mode merchandise round and a DreamHack Stockholm stop from November 27 to 29, including a SUPER KARAOKE PARTY with Mori Calliope, Nerissa Ravencroft, and Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame. A Critical Role Daggerheart campaign, Shattered Legends, premieres mid-November 2026 with Matthew Mercer as Game Master.
