Popular artist and producer MATZ has worked on songs for a number of popular artists, including BE:FIRST, NIJISANJI EN, SKY-HI, Kizuna Ai, and more. His major debut single, STAY feat. SURAN, was released this summer and reached the top spot on the iTunes Dance Single Chart. When the set list for ULTRA JAPAN 2022, a popular dance festival held for the first time in three years following the pandemic, was released on social media, fans immediately noticed that MATZ would be performing with NIJISANJI EN–a pairing many people never expected to see in real life.
When MATZ began his DJ set, the venue immediately burst into an excited frenzy, with guests obsessed with his song selection. SURAN appeared as a surprise guest–the South Korean artist collaborated with the producer on his debut single. Finally, NIJISANJI EN appeared, as MATZ played a special medley of NIJISANJI EN songs mashed up with high-tempo dance music, including two songs produced by MATZ himself. The performance blended sound with images of NIJISANJI EN members projected on huge screens, and many are predicting more crossovers with popular VTubers in the future. What will MATZ come up with next?

Eir Aoi’s LIVE TOUR 2019 Fragment oF took her on a journey across the country, performing at eight different locations to approximately 10,000 wild fans. She saw her final tour performance at Kanagawa Kenmin Hall on July 15.
The overpowering digital rock song UNLIMITED sent an instant surge of energy through the crowd. Her heart-throbbing setlist included a range of big hits that were used as theme songs for the anime Sword Art Online including Iris, INNOCENCE, Cynthia no Hikari, Ryusei and IGNITE . Her strong vocals and the passion etched onto her face enthralled the crowd.
For the encore, she performed Tsuki wo Ou Mayonaka, which is the new opening theme song for the anime Granbelm. The urgent beat of the song energised the audience, who were dancing and singing as one. For the last song, she performed AURORA, which she especially prepared for this day only.
“There are times that I just cannot sing this song, but seeing the encouraging and excited faces of my fans gave me the support I needed to sing,” she said.
Eir Aoi: Tsuki wo Ou Mayonaka Music Video
After the encore was over, there was a surprise for the fans. The music video for Tsuki wo Ou Mayonaka, the new theme song for the anime Granbelm, was played before the crowd. Fans could not contain their wild joy at being the first people to watch the video. The music video was just released on July 16 at 8pm, so please check it out.
