What was announced
COVER Corporation announced the concert on July 11, 2026. The venue tickets were priced at 12,000 yen (SS), 9,800 yen (S) and 8,200 yen (A). Two lottery presales ran in July and August, and the general sale opened on September 6. Buyers could purchase up to two tickets each, and names were printed on the tickets. The first lottery accepted applications from July 11 to July 20, and the second from August 5 to August 11. Lottery buyers paid fees of 440 yen (presale service), 330 yen (system) and 110 yen (e-ticket) per ticket, and general sale buyers paid 330 yen and 110 yen. The hall is about five minutes on foot from Tokyo Big Sight Station on the Yurikamome line, or about nine minutes from Kokusai-tenjijo Station on the Rinkai line. Merchandise was on sale from July 11 until August 17, with separate order pages for Japan and overseas.
Stream tickets have been on sale since July 11, 13:00 JST. The official page says the archive will be available after the show once it has been prepared. It can be watched any number of times until the deadline. After November 6, 23:59 JST, the archive cannot be viewed, and a viewing already in progress also stops.
Time zones
The show was scheduled to start at 18:30 JST on October 6, which is 09:30 UTC, 10:30 CET and 05:30 EDT on the same day. The deadlines fall on November 6 as follows. Sales end at 20:00 JST, which is 11:00 UTC and 06:00 EST. The archive ends at 23:59 JST, which is 14:59 UTC and 09:59 EST. Daylight saving time in the United States ends on November 1, so the Eastern conversions use standard time.
What it means for overseas viewers
SPWN has separate ticket pages for Japan and for overseas buyers, and ZAIKO uses the same link for both. The venue lotteries and the general sale also used ZAIKO with a common link. Since the venue sales have ended, the stream is the remaining way to watch. The official site lists five of IRyS’s original 3D music videos, including “MUSE”, “Escalate”, “TwiLight” and “Carbonated Love”, for viewers who want an introduction to her music before the archive. The official page says the archive can be watched any number of times before the deadline, so there is no need to watch it in one sitting. Viewers who plan to watch near the deadline should allow for the time zone differences listed above, since the cut-off is applied in Japan time.
What we don’t know yet
- Whether the concert will be released on disc or sold as a digital product after the archive closes.
- Whether the deadline will be extended. The announcement gives no indication that it will.
- The setlist. We have not seen a published post-event report, so this article relies on the pre-event announcement.
