Nishikawa's coverage splits between a new anime theme and a return to a stripped-down performance channel. In July, he appeared on THE FIRST TAKE for the third time overall and the first in two years. The channel released a one-shot performance of 'HOT LIMIT' on July 10, and the video passed 10 million views since that release. He wore the 'HOT LIMIT Suit' in the performance.

Before the premiere, a teaser image showed an outfit that fans linked to a specific song. Nishikawa said he could not reveal what he sang. His previous appearances on the channel were 'FREEDOM' and 'WHITE BREATH.'

By September, Nishikawa was attached to a different project. The Aniplex One Focus livestream on Saturday revealed the main promotional video for Good Smile Company's original anime Jyuou Mujin Dandivine, a new key visual, and theme song details. Nishikawa performs the opening theme 'Zankyou ≠ Blaster.' DayRe: performs the ending theme 'Mikansei Ordinary.' The anime debuts October 7 at 24:30 on Tokyo TV, BS11, Gunma TV, and Tochigi TV.

The two threads meet at a performer whose current work spans a summer music milestone, a channel return, and a fall anime theme. The anime's story is set 20 years after Dandivine defeated Aposdoll.
