What this is
Marking nine years since the Revue Starlight franchise launched, Kukugumi Day 2026 is an anniversary fan gathering dedicated to the 99th Class (Kukugumi) of the beloved multimedia idol-meets-theatrical-battle series. Held at Hikosen Theater in Tokyo, the event is designed to look back on the full nine-year history of Starlight — likely through screenings, talk segments, or live performances, though the exact programme and performer lineup are yet to be announced.
Who should go
Dedicated fans of the Revue Starlight anime, stage musicals, or mobile game who want to celebrate the franchise's milestone with fellow enthusiasts. Casual viewers or newcomers will find little context without prior familiarity.
Good to know
Performer lineup and ticket information had not been announced at the time of writing — check the official website regularly for updates as tickets for niche anime events in Japan typically sell out quickly once released. Tickets are likely to be sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp; both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese address. Hikosen Theater is a smaller, intimate venue suited to fan events, so capacity will be limited — early registration or pre-sale entry is advisable once ticketing opens. Bring cash for any merchandise sold on the day, as smaller event venues in Japan often do not accept card payments at goods booths.
