Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

ANYCOLOR, the operator of Nijisanji and NIJISANJI EN, has been pursuing a dual track of legal enforcement and content release over the past several months. In July 2026, the company announced it had reached a settlement with individuals who posted content encouraging secondary harm against VTuber Shirayuki Tomoe, resulting in a total payment of 1.4 million yen. The settlement was part of a broader campaign of parallel legal actions against rights infringement, including defamation, insult, business obstruction, and copyright infringement, with the company stating it will also seek criminal procedures. ANYCOLOR also set up a report form on its website for slanderous acts, unauthorized reproduction, and impersonation, and requested that people not contact the company or its livers directly via social media or streams.

Alongside these legal measures, Nijisanji has been making recent performances available to fans. On July 7, 2026, the group released the "Nijisanji Suite" medley video on YouTube, a 25-song medley that formed the climax of the Tokyo performance of the "Nijisanji World Tour 2025 Singin' in the Rainbow!" tour. The tour, the largest in the group's history, covered nine stages across Japan and overseas and ended at Toyota Arena Tokyo in January 2026 with seven members. The medley video is also included in the tour's Blu-ray, releasing September 30, 2026.

In addition, ANYCOLOR announced in May and June 2026 the details for the Blu-ray release of the "Nijisanji Countdown Live 'Crossing Tones'" event, which ran from late 2025 into January 2026. The Blu-ray, releasing September 2, 2026, features eight performers-Salome Ichimatsuryu, Hibari Watase, Nozomi Ishigami, Wen Akagi, Row Koyanagi, Ruri Shioriha, Nes Sakaki, and Nana Tamanoi-and includes the main concert video plus bonus "Liver Camera" footage that follows individual talents through selected songs. The package comes with reproduction comment-included photo bromide cards and an acrylic bromide frame, with store-specific bonuses available from various retailers.
