Yaoyorozu Festival Sets VTuber Live and Kansai Sake for November 2026 in Yao
The organizer is betting that online-native performers and regional drink and food producers can each pull an audience the other does not have, and that the crossover happens in the same venue on the same two days.

The Yaoyorozu Festival Executive Committee will hold YAOYOROZU FESTIVAL 26 on November 6 and 7, 2026, at the Kyuhoji Ryokuchi Athletics Stadium in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture. The event combines a VTuber and utaite live stage, a Kansai sake area covering beer, Japanese sake, whiskey, wine and cocktails, and a local food market. Amazari Hirai and Kasuga Nozomi handle MC duties.
The live stage, billed as Koikoi Kagura, runs both days with separate lineups. Day one is MCed by Amazari Hirai and includes Asano Ruri, love=charmulet, Petra Nightmare and Nanaten Yasoin Aegis of Qgirl, Choma, Kodama Hikari, Matsuoka Yuri of Ikasan, and Imai Asami.

The live viewing area is paid.
Two other areas run alongside it. Yoimonogatari gathers sake from around Kansai, with drinking limited to visitors aged 20 and over and no alcohol served to those arriving by car or bicycle. Yaonan Marche is a food area for restaurants and local dishes, from family-friendly options to food meant to go with alcohol.
