Ensemble Stars!! Music Stage Report Previews New Spectacle Sphere Live
Spectacle Sphere Live hands the camera to the player, so the live is judged on how much freedom one avatar can exercise during a real-time performance rather than on a fixed concert edit, and the first run will test that on five units.

4Gamer.net published a report from the September 11 dress rehearsal of Spectacle Sphere Live, the new real-time virtual live in Happy Elements' Ensemble Stars!! Music for iOS and Android. The first performance, HOT BEAT REVOLUTION!!, is set for September 12, 2026, and features five units: fine, Ryuseitai, Eden, 2wink, and UNDEAD. Players move a Mega Fan avatar freely through the venue, choose where and whom to watch, wave or recolor a penlight, and take screenshots. Ryuseitai is the unit covered in the rehearsal report.
The rehearsal put a single avatar, the Mega Fan, inside an empty venue: no other audience, no staff. In that space the five members of Ryuseitai appeared, waved at the producer, and talked among themselves with the echo of a large room. Ryuseitai normally has every member act as leader, but Sengoku Shinobu leads this time, and behind him Shinkai Kanata chops at Nagumo Tetora while Morisawa Chiaki dogs Takamine Midori. With no camera direction imposed, the player decides which of those threads to follow.
