Celebrating Growth: Hanairoha's 7th One-Man Live Concert

On February 2, 2026, Hanairoha held their much-anticipated 7th one-man live concert titled 'Kimi to Sakaseta Sekai' at the enchanting Kanadevia Hall, a venue they had long dreamt of performing in. This significant event not only marked their seventh major concert but also served as a reflection of the group's journey and current standing in the world of music.

As the lights dimmed, the audience was treated to an impressive LED display showcasing the group’s growth and achievements leading up to this moment. The excitement escalated as the opening track 'Natsu Embrace' filled the air, a bold choice given the winter season. The performance was characterized by expansive choreography and confident movements, indicating a deep preparation for this coveted stage.

During the lively track 'LOVE Vacation!!!', the entire hall resonated with synchronized arm movements from the audience, creating a palpable energy. The song 'Momoiro Juteimu' bathed the stage in a soft pink light, highlighting the members' delicate yet strong presence.

In a heartfelt MC segment, member Rinka enthusiastically exclaimed, 'We've finally made it to Kanadevia Hall!!!' Meanwhile, Riria described the experience as 'feeling like a dream', and Kotoka openly admitted to being 'nervous'. Yet, their performance radiated a sense of stability that overshadowed any anxiety.

New music was also introduced with 'Watashi, Suteki, Kirei', showcasing their evolution while 'Hatsukoi Anniversary' provided a calming moment. The connection between the members was palpable during 'Kotae Awase', and as they performed 'Santa Claus ja物足りない', they narrowed the gap, engaging with the audience directly.

The poignant question posed by Himeno—'What does Hanairoha mean to everyone?'—gathered the audience's focus. In her role as leader, she conveyed, 'I hope Hanairoha has supported your hearts.' Each member shared their personal connection to the group, reflecting on the invaluable impact it had on their lives, from Rinka's appreciation for their fateful encounter to Kotoka's admiration for the idol experience.

The performance transitioned into a nostalgic LED display of their earlier days, featuring footage from their debut and early concerts. The excitement reached a crescendo as the intro for 'Rabi Nyuu!' played, welcoming the original members back to the stage. The emotional song 'Kimi Omoi Sakura', accompanied by cherry blossom-colored lighting, truly expressed gratitude towards their fans.

As a long applause echoed throughout the hall, a new video began on the LED screen, focusing on the making-of the music video for 'Kimi Kirari'. This thoughtful transition away from sound concentrated instead on visual storytelling, emphasizing the present moment.

As the video faded out, the current members took center stage to perform 'Kimi Kirari', celebrating continuity within change. Songs like 'Natsu Koi Vacation!' and 'Ryusei Strings' elevated the atmosphere, leading to the powerful 'Arigato Ijou no Kotoba o' where audience hands effortlessly united, culminating in the energizing 'Hanairo Fight!!' and the peak of excitement with 'Tokimeki no Kagi'. The concert reached its climax with 'Nanairo Moment', where the seven members lined up, under luminescence reflecting the vibrant spectrum of their journey together.

Returning for an encore, the members proudly proclaimed their aspirations with 'Shupurehikooru', instigating a synchronized clap from the crowd, further solidifying the rhythmic connection between the artists and their fans. During this segment, they graciously thanked the audience and revealed exciting plans projected on the LED screen:

• - The announcement of their 2nd album set to be released on June 30, 2026, stirred lively cheers from fans, affirming this concert as a stepping stone in their musical journey.
• - Additionally, they revealed the re-launch of the annual event 'Hanairo Festival: Natsu Hanabi Vol. 2' slated for July 29, 2026.
• - Finally, a massive tour across major cities was announced for autumn 2026, marking a significant expansion of their reach and adventures ahead.

Each announcement intensified the atmosphere, evidencing their growth. Post-reveal, the members continuously expressed gratitude, matching their words with intentions for future plans, culminating with the cheerful performance of 'Rabi Nyuu!' and a heartfelt farewell with 'Blue Summer'. Here, Himeno expressed immense gratitude for the journey shared thus far, 'Thank you for sticking with us.'

The repeated 'thank you' was not just an acknowledgment of the past but also a promise to march forward together.

Standing on the stage of Kanadevia Hall, this performance was far more than a milestone; it was a vivid testament to collaboration and shared growth, a reminder that the journey of Hanairoha continues to bloom.
