Orange appears in the program of Tokyo Anim Unite 2026, set for September 26-27, as one of five companies hosting a Creator Connect Booth. At Anitsuku 2026, held October 3 in Akihabara, Orange is among the studios with a session in the 14-session lineup. The other stories in this set concern Orange Giant's game Zhai, along with Orange Range, Orangestar, and unrelated retail and holiday items.
Orange's standing in this set rests on two event bookings rather than on an announced production. Wacom's finalized program for Tokyo Anim Unite 2026, dated September 26-27 at Bellesalle Shinjuku Grand, lists Orange among five companies hosting Creator Connect Booths, alongside Live2D. The same program arrangement places Orange on the student-facing side of the event: portfolio reviews and direct contact with studios are the stated core of Tokyo Anim Unite, now in its third edition, and the TAU Guide went out to ticket buyers.
A month earlier, Anitsuku 2026 confirmed Orange for a session at its 12th edition, set for October 3 at UDX GALLERY NEXT and UDX GALLERY in Akihabara. The theme is 'Passing the Power of Creation to the Next Generation,' and the 14-session lineup includes Toei Animation, MAPPA, Orange, and Sanzigen. Admission is free with prior registration, and web applications open the same day. Both appearances put Orange in the same setting as other production studios sharing technique and production knowledge with newcomers.
Several stories in this set are not about the animation studio at all. Orange Giant detailed systems for Zhai, a PC open-world action adventure out in winter 2026 on Steam and the Epic Games Store, including a Memory Skill Tree that ties character growth to story progression. Orange Range released the music video for '1000%' as a DAZN soccer anthem. Orangestar wrote his first new song in roughly two years for the TV anime 'Shunkashuto Daikosha Haru no Mai.' The Marine Day 2026 roundup, the Amazon Japan toys ranking led by Toy Story 5, and the SMP Power Animal Series Extra announcement do not involve Orange.

On July 20, 2026, numerous anime, manga, and game franchises posted Marine Day greetings on social media. The Japanese national holiday, which honors the ocean and marks the end of the rainy season, prompted official accounts and creators to share beach-themed illustrations, character birthday messages, and promotional content. Among the posts, the official Kaiju No. 8 account promoted an upcoming original short anime titled "Narumi's Weekday" with a pun on the character's name and the kanji for sea. The MAPPA studio released a new illustration by Rie Nishimura for the soccer series DAYS, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026. The Sound! Euphonium account reminded followers that the film Sound! Euphonium: The Final Part 2 opens on September 11. Classroom of the Elite noted that July 20 is also the birthday of character Honami Ichinose. The That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime account promoted the streaming of its movie Tears of the Azure Sea on U-NEXT. The Chiikawa movie account promoted the July 24 release of Eiga Chiikawa: Ningyo no Shima no Himitsu. Voice actor Yuki Kaji posted a personal greeting, and the band Orange Range shared a summer song. The roundup, compiled by Anime News Network, spanned three articles covering dozens of entries.
Dengeki Hobby Web published the Amazon.co.jp Toys New Arrivals Ranking for July 14, 2026. Toy Story 5 merchandise takes the top spot, with Tamagotchi Paradise White Glacier and Orange Tropics at second and third. Other entries include Pokémon, Hot Wheels, and Magic: The Gathering items.
Bandai's SMP brand announced the Power Animal Series Extra for Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger during its 10th anniversary online event. The line commercializes Power Animals that exist in the series' setting but were never made into figures. The first three items include GaoPeacock & GaoCobra, GaoTurtle & GaoToppy, and new combined forms like GaoKing Swordmaster and GaoHunter Abyss.
Vocaloid P Orangestar, known for summer-themed songs like "Asu no Yozora Shōkaihan" and "Kaisei," has written his first new song in roughly two years for the TV anime "Shunkashūtō Daikōsha Haru no Mai." The anime, based on an original work by Kana Akatsuki of "Violet Evergarden" fame, is set in a world where agents empowered by the gods of the four seasons rotate the seasons. Orangestar's involvement, while seemingly a departure from his summer associations, is framed by the article as a natural fit given his past works' themes of lost time and youth.
ORANGE RANGE released the music video for their new song "1000%," created as a soccer anthem for DAZN. The video features 17 people, including former Japan manager Philippe Troussier, players Seiichiro Maki and Marcus Tulio Tanaka, former Hinatazaka46 member Yuka Kageyama, actor Kaito Sakurai, and VTuber Peanuts-kun. Filmed at Saitama Stadium 2002, the MV uses 3DCG for a Shibuya crossing scene.
