IDOL WORLD SUPER FESTIVAL 2026 is the Idolmaster series' first cross-franchise xR live event, held at Keio Arena TOKYO and streamed on ASOBI STAGE. The event ran across multiple days, with day two on July 25 and day three on July 26. Each day carried a distinct performance theme, and the reports cover how the staging and format shaped the live experience.

Day two, themed "ALL Live Band" and titled "-ZESSYOU-", featured 14 idols known for their singing ability, including Chihaya Kisaragi, Azusa Miura, and Nao Kamiya, drawn from franchises such as Cinderella Girls, Million Live, SideM, Shiny Colors, and Gakuen Idolmaster. The live band IWSF BAND, led by keyboardist and bandmaster Shunsuke Takizawa, and the string quartet IWSF STRINGS provided live accompaniment. The staging placed the band on the lower stage and the strings on the upper tier, letting the physical sound pressure of the instruments carry the idols' presence. The setlist mixed ballads like Azusa's "Tonari ni..." and Chihaya's "Saihyo" with rock numbers. A highlight was "1/3" performed by Ikaruga Luka, joined by Tsukasa Tsukimura and Retra. The day closed with all 14 idols performing "Alive Factor" together with the 8 musicians.

Day three was themed "ALL call and response" and featured 15 idols across agencies performing songs designed for audience participation. On-screen lyric prompts aided the call and response format, creating a shared stage experience between the idols and the audience. The event concluded with this final day, marking the end of the festival.
