The Nijisanji unit ChroNoiR, composed of VTubers Kuzuha and Kanae, marked its 8th anniversary on July 17, 2026, with a new digital single and a set of commemorative illustrations by three high-profile creators. The song "Endless showtime" was released digitally at midnight, with a music video premiering later that evening at 21:00 JST. The track was written by Penthouse vocalist and guitarist Shintaro Namioka, with lyrics by Takuma Ohara and arrangement by ha-j. The lyrics depict two people in an empty theater who receive a standing ovation, framing the bond between the unit and its fans. Separately, three celebratory illustrations were published by Abetsuka, a manga artist for "Sousou no Frieren"; Toshiyuki Itahana, character designer for the "Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon" series and "Final Fantasy IX"; and D.K, character designer for "NieR Replicant" and "NieR Gestalt." The illustrations drew reactions from fans on social media, who noted the quality of the collaborations. The anniversary marks eight years since the formation of ChroNoiR, a unit that has been active within Nijisanji since 2018.
