ANYCOLOR has published the full details of “NIJISANJI Girls Idol Festival: Connect the Rainbow, Find the Future,” a two-day live event for 16 female NIJISANJI livers. The shows take place on December 19 and 20, 2026, at Intex Osaka Hall 5 in Suminoe Ward, Osaka. The announcement was posted on the official ANYCOLOR site on October 7, 2026, and the ticket schedule was revised on October 9. The e+ lottery for in-person seats closes on November 3, and general sales begin on November 21, so overseas fans who want to attend should plan around those dates.

The event theme song, “Choujigen Encounter,” is sung by all 16 performers. Its music video was released on October 7, 2026, at 22:30 JST, and the digital release followed on October 8 at 00:00 JST. A booth will also be set up at Intex Osaka Hall 4, and it will include a demo of the NIJISANJI 7 Colors Card Game, which goes on sale on December 26, 2026. Details of goods sold at the venue are scheduled to be announced in late November.
Ticket schedule
In-person tickets are sold in four seating categories: regular, women-only, front-center, and partially obstructed view. The obstructed-view tickets carry a warning that parts of the stage, the production, or the performers may be hard to see or not visible. The organizer states that tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged for viewing-related reasons.
- Fan club presale lottery (NIJISANJI general and individual fan clubs): October 15, 2026, 12:00 to October 20, 2026, 23:59 JST. This period has already ended.
- e+ presale lottery: October 15, 2026, 12:00 to November 3, 2026, 23:59 JST.
- General sale, first come, first served: from November 21, 2026, 12:00 JST.
The announcement headline originally gave a different start date for the fan club lottery, but the schedule section revised on October 9 lists October 15, and that revised schedule is the one used here. Ticket prices were not listed on the page we reviewed.
What it means for overseas viewers
Streaming tickets are available for viewers who cannot travel. The formats are a main stream, a liver-camera stream, a fixed venue-camera stream, and a two-day combined stream, each with or without a goods bundle. The bundles include a Blu-ray for each stage and a replica silver tape with a handwritten message for each stage. Only the “with goods” versions include these items.
For reference, 18:00 JST on December 19 is 09:00 UTC, which is 01:00 on December 19 in Pacific Time and 04:00 in New York. The December 20 start at 17:00 JST is 08:00 UTC on the same day, or 00:00 Pacific. Check the official ticket pages for whether the sale is open to overseas payment methods and whether archives are provided, because the announcement text we reviewed does not say.
What we don’t know yet
- Ticket prices for in-person and streaming tickets.
- Whether archive viewing is included with each streaming ticket.
- The venue goods lineup, which is due in late November.
- Whether the performance setlists or any additional guests will be announced.
