The six-member Nijisanji unit VACHSS performed a live concert titled "THE TAKEOVER" on May 14, 2026, at Makuhari Messe as the opening special stage of Nijisanji Fest 2026. The group, consisting of Kuzuha, Kanae, Hayato Kagami, Minato Fuwa, Tōya Kensetsu, and Shō Yumetsuki, debuted a new track "Replace to be" and dominated X's trends. The performance marked a rare full-unit gathering after years of separate activities.
VACHSS, the six-member Nijisanji unit named from the first letters of each member's attribute-Vampire (Kuzuha), Angel (Kanae), CEO (Hayato Kagami), Host (Minato Fuwa), Student (Tōya Kensetsu), Singer (Shō Yumetsuki)-first formed five years ago for Nijisanji Anniversary Festival 2021, but that live was held online without an audience. Since then, the members have largely operated in separate groups: Kuzuha and Kanae as ChroNoiR; Kagami, Kensetsu, and Fuwa as ROF-MAO; and Yumetsuki as a solo singer. The May 14 concert at Makuhari Messe opened Nijisanji Fest 2026, and the unit debuted a new track, "Replace to be," produced by Yumetsuki. The performance trended on X.
