MARINA LYRICA is a VTuber group that has moved from screen-based performances into physical karaoke rooms through XR technology. The first event ran July 11-12, 2026, at Karaoke Manekineko Shibuya Main Store, letting fans meet and talk with three VTubers in 20-minute slots for 3,000 yen. Participants could take Polaroid photos with the VTubers.

A second event was announced for August 22 and 23 at the same venue. Tickets cost 3,300 yen per 20-minute slot, with advance reservation required. The August event adds a free trial session for media and influencers on August 19. During sessions, participants converse one-on-one with the VTuber, can share a drink, and may trigger a special "magic" effect by ordering one. Each session ends with a two-shot cheki photo.

The events are organized by PANDORA and Koshidaka Holdings, the karaoke chain operator, with technical support from Sony. Koshidaka is using the events to turn karaoke rooms into immersive entertainment spaces beyond singing, offering direct interaction with virtual idols. The three VTubers appearing are Hatsuha Pūru, Suzunami Hitode, and Tamami Uruma.
