MOMENT as a Yomimono topic is a set of unrelated projects that happen to share a word, not one franchise. The most recent and most fully specified is Rina Endo's first photo book MOMENT, which ships October 6, 2026, priced at 3,960 yen in A4 format with 112 color pages. The book was shot in Okinawa, bonus images from participating retailers are now public, and lottery applications are open for signing events in Osaka on November 23 and Tokyo on December 28, with application deadlines of October 26 and November 30.

Other uses of the word are separate releases. Iori Matsunaga holds her final live, "IORI MATSUNAGA the LAST LIVE 'Last Moment'," on September 20, 2026 at SUPERNOVA KAWASAKI, capping about six years of activity since her YouTube debut on September 15, 2020. Her final EP, "Timeless Beats," releases September 9, 2026, priced at 3,300 yen, with six tracks and collaborators including jin and Kohey of SARUKANI alongside returning creators Kazuma Ito and Keita Tanaka. Masato Hayashi, runner-up on "RAPSTAR 2025," released the digital single "In The Moment" on August 5, 2026 and its music video on YouTube, with an album due in early September and a one-man live at Zepp Shinjuku on September 23.

The remaining MOMENT items fall into three other categories. Sennheiser released the MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 on September 3, 2026, with user-replaceable batteries in both the earbuds and charging case, up to 12 hours of playback or 40 with the case, and USB-C and Qi charging. Happy Volcano released the cyberpunk diorama builder Midnight Moments on Steam for 395 yen with a 10 percent launch discount through August 14, following its May 28 announcement. On television, the film "A Few Moments of Cheers" rebroadcasts on NHK E-Tele on September 5 from 15:50 to 16:59, six months after its March 21 airing.

Happy Volcano Announces Cyberpunk Diorama Builder 'Midnight Moments'

Indie developer Happy Volcano announced 'Midnight Moments', a diorama building game focused on creating cyberpunk cityscapes, on May 28. The game is in development for PC via Steam, with no release date set. Players use modular tools to construct buildings, alleys, and blocks from floors, walls, and rooftops, then add neon signs, lighting, air conditioner units, and other decorations. The diorama is permanently set at night with rain, and neon reflections on wet surfaces contribute to the atmosphere. Players can place residents and cars to add life. There are no goals, scores, or time limits, allowing for relaxed, open-ended play. Happy Volcano previously released 'Modulus', 'You Suck at Parking', and 'The Almost Gone'. The Steam store page is currently accepting playtest sign-ups. As of May 29, the game does not support Japanese language. The studio describes the project as a relatively small-scale passion project.
