Unforgettable Performances at Rakuten GirlsAward 2026
The anticipation for the
Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 AUTUMN/WINTER, set to take place on September 26, 2026, at the Makuhari Messe, has reached a fever pitch. This illustrious event, known for showcasing Japan's top talent in fashion and music, promises a lineup that will leave attendees mesmerized.
The event marks the return of the four-member idol group
ふぉ〜ゆ〜, who will perform for the first time since their debut announcement. Formed in 2011, this group is not only renowned for their impressive dance skills and acting abilities but also for their approachability and humor. Recently, they made headlines with their surprise CD debut announcement at a commemorative live show for their 15th anniversary, held at the Nippon Budokan. This performance, following a long hiatus from GirlsAward, is anticipated to feature a vibrant and energetic display of their newfound legacy.
Adding to the excitement, the popular idol project
CANDY TUNE, originating from
アソビシステム, has been officially added to the lineup. After their viral hit
『倍倍FIGHT!』, which propelled them into the mainstream, they gained even greater recognition as they performed at Japan's prestigious
NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen last year and garnered four nominations at the
MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026. Their presence is guaranteed to enchant the audience.
The night will also include a refreshing opening act by
MORE STAR, who will be making their GirlsAward debut. This promising new group, with an average member age of just 18, recently delighted fans with their first one-man live show. Set to release their much-anticipated first single
『サマーゴー!! / WITH KAWAII論』 on the event day, MORE STAR is poised to invigorate the crowd and set a lively tone for the evening.
The fashion segment will be just as captivating, featuring nearly 30 models, including
立花琴未 and
南なつ from CANDY TUNE, alongside well-known figures like
板野友美,
武田玲奈, and
濱岸ひより. This assembly of fashion icons and rising stars promises to dazzle on the runway.
In addition to these attractions, influencers beloved by Gen Z and rising young actors like
藤本洸大 are set to make special appearances, adding further glamour to this exciting event. As the countdown to the Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 continues, more illustrious participants and special content will be revealed, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming performances.
