What was announced
According to 4Gamer, the live is held in Saitama on a Saturday evening, with doors at 16:30 and the show starting at 18:00 Japan time. The event has its own page on the NIJISANJI website, which the article gives as nijisanji.jp/events/chronoir_2ndlive. The report does not list ticket prices, so check that page before planning anything around cost.
The ticket schedule, as listed in the article (all times JST), runs in four steps:
| Round | Application period |
|---|---|
| Single CD serial-code pre-sale lottery | Jan 27, 2027, 12:00 to Feb 17, 2027, 23:59 |
| Fan club pre-sale lottery | Feb 24, 2027, 12:00 to Mar 5, 2027, 23:59 |
| e+ pre-sale lottery | Mar 17, 2027, 12:00 to Mar 24, 2027, 23:59 |
| General sale (first come, first served) | From Apr 10, 2027, 12:00 |
All four rounds are handled through e+ (eplus.jp), with a separate page for each round according to the article. The serial-code lottery is the earliest chance: every edition of the single includes a code in its first production run, so the lottery effectively opens to people who buy the CD.
The single and retailer bonuses
The single is described as containing one new track, whose title is not yet public, plus three songs that were already released digitally: “Endless showtime,” “不可Boom” and “リナリア.” The regular edition costs 1,760 yen. The first-press limited edition costs 3,520 yen and is a two-disc set, with a four-track CD plus a bonus disc of cover songs and a jacket-size card.
The article also lists purchase bonuses by shop. The NIJISANJI Official Store offers an acrylic block as a paid bonus and a calendar card as a free bonus. Amazon.co.jp offers a large jacket print of about 240 by 240 mm, Rakuten Books an A5 clear file, and animate an aurora sticker on all editions plus an A3 clear poster when two editions are bought together. Tower Records gives a hologram profile card on all editions and a 76 mm badge only with the first-press edition, while HMV, Sony Music Shop and 7NET Shopping each have their own photo or badge bonus. The article says the artwork and details of each bonus will be announced later, so treat these as a preview rather than a final list.
Background
ChroNoiR was formed in 2018 as a unit of Kanae and Kuzuha, both of whom belong to NIJISANJI, according to the press release for the group’s recent song. That release says the unit’s YouTube channel has more than one million subscribers. The song “Endless showtime,” released digitally on July 17, 2026 to mark the unit’s eighth anniversary, has lyrics by Takuma Ohara, music by Shintaro Namioka and arrangement by ha-j; its music video premiered on YouTube the same evening with both members appearing as conductors.
The unit has also performed overseas. A 2024 ANYCOLOR announcement said ChroNoiR would perform “Welcome to Wonder Wander World” at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles during Anime Expo 2024 on July 7 (Pacific time), with livestream tickets sold in addition to venue tickets, after an in-person and streamed performance at OSAKA-JO HALL on April 20, 2024. For profiles of the members, see our Kuzuha page and our NIJISANJI agency page.
What this means for overseas fans
Nothing in the sources says whether the Saitama show will be streamed, so planning should assume an in-person event until an announcement says otherwise. The serial-code lottery requires buying the single, and the sources do not say whether e+ accepts overseas applicants. Our guide to reading a Japanese event ticket page explains how presales, lotteries and convenience-store pickup usually work, and our merch-buying guide covers shops that ship abroad. For now, the useful dates to note are January 27 (single release and first lottery) and April 10 (general sale), all in Japan time.
What we don’t know yet
- Ticket prices for the live.
- Whether a livestream or archive will be offered, and at what price.
- The title of the new single and the final artwork for each retailer bonus.
- Whether overseas residents can apply through e+ for any of the four rounds.
