Nagi Inoue from Nogizaka46 Returns to VOCALOID in Special Live Event

In an exciting collaboration, Nagi Inoue from the popular girl group Nogizaka46 is set to grace the stage with a special live performance featuring two beloved VOCALOID songs. This event, titled "Nagi Inoue (Nogizaka46) meets VOCALOID MUSIC -Special Live & Document-," will be broadcasted on April 29, 2026, at 7 PM JST on MTV and later available for viewing on Niconico.

Nagi, a fifth-generation member of Nogizaka46, has been a long-time fan of VOCALOID culture since her childhood. In 2025, she made waves at the inaugural Daisy Bell Award ceremony—a collaboration between The VOCALOID Collection and the MTV VMAJ—by performing the award-winning song "Releiouter," written and composed by the talented artist Inaba Kumori. Her riveting performance reflected her deep connection to the VOCALOID music scene and showcased her incredible vocal abilities.

This time around, Nagi will tackle two contrasting tracks that encompass the emotional depth and catchy sounds that VOCALOID is known for. She will be performing "Inochibakkari," a song by Nuyuri that poignantly captures life's struggles, along with the infectious, upbeat song "Melty Magic," written and composed by Picco. Both tracks represent the unique charm of digitally created music, and Nagi plans to deliver a captivating rendition that highlights her artistic sensibility.

The performance will not only display her vocal talent but will also include behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and the creative process leading up to this special event. Fans can look forward to seeing Nagi's heartfelt expressions as she connects with the music that inspired her growth as an artist.

In a recent statement, Nagi expressed her excitement about returning to the world of VOCALOID. "I’m incredibly grateful to sing these beloved VOCALOID songs again, as it connects my passion with my work. It’s a true blessing, and I hope that my performance resonates with someone’s heart as I was once captivated by this musical world. Thank you!"
