The photos are simply breathtaking! What a show it will be if these are the key visuals!!! And Telasa multiangle view!!! Wow!

That's an interesting take linking both the Spring shows - Notte Stellata 2026 and REALIVE - together
Would it really be a homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto whose music Yuzu listened to and choreographed so intensely recently, obviously, not just for the show but also for the off-ice video in the member zone, encompassing his "Happy End" and "Yae no Sakura" so perfectly?

Resell lotteries have been announced and with an innovation - there is a new option when applying you can choose an option "any resell ticket", something fans were dreaming of for a long time by now. Great to have it introduced! Hopefully it will stay now!

Plus, there are two rounds, one for those who already know that they won't be able to be there, and another one for those who have a last minute problem.

The show's official website got updated with the new visuals and has a new look now...

Koichi Kosugi, who was the art director of visual communication for Echoes of Life, holds the same function for REALIVE, it seems.
Kosugi-san won many branch awards including Tokyo ADC Award, Cannes Lions Gold Award (Design), JAGDA New Designer Award, JAGDA Award, D&AD, New York ADC Award, ONE SHOW (Gold), ACC Award (Gold/Silver), JR Poster Grand Prix Highest Award, Asahi Newspaper Advertising Award, Galaxy Award, ADFES (Grand Prix), Busan International Advertising Festival Grand Prix, Fujisankei Communications Group Advertising Grand Prix Outstanding Award, Interactive Design Award, Spikes Asia Award, etc.

He posted the REALIVE key visuals or his IG reel so revealed himself

Only the best for Yuzuru!

Everyone going to REALIVE is reminded that to enter the venue an ID is required and these will be checked upon the admission to the venue. The name on the ID must match the name on the ticket - no exchange or resale of tickets apart from the official resale lotteries is allowed and such tickets will not be honoured. ID must be the original document and not a copy or a screenshot.
The general rule is that you need 1 ID with a photo or 2 IDs to the same name if they do not have a photo. The detailed list of what documents are accepted and on what conditions has been published on the show's website here:

- the site is generally in Japanese but as you scroll down the page, the ID section is provided also in English for foreign nationals.
In general, foreign nationals are required to bring either Passport, My Number Card, or Special Permanent Resident Certificate/Residence Card as a proof of identity. Other forms of ID for them will not be accepted.
These are rules at all Yuzu's solo shows aiming to counter fight the ticket forgery and reselling at sky-high prices.

Some worry that their name on the ticket purchase may not be deemed to match perfectly their identity document name, but when something similar happened at 2023? Fantasy on Ice, after some time a special queue was opened for those with such a problem, and in the end they could enter the venue in time for the show. I do believe that this will be catered for during Realive; as all Passports have an English version, I think that it will be solved satisfactorily.

The new REALIVE photos are on the Yunika Vision giant screen at the Shinjuku Crossing! They kept each photo relatively small though:

I didn't think they would run ads with the main visual so it's a nice surprise!

Traditional bonbori lanterns dedicated to REALIVE and Yuzuru may be seen on dispaly during the Meguro River Cherry Blossom Festival in Tokyo!

Meguro River is one of Tokyo's best locations for waterside cherry blossoms against an urban setting. During springtime, the river and surrounding area play host to numerous festivals, from daytime performances to nighttime illuminations.

Yayy, they are so considerate of international fans!!!!

All the more so because fans in Hong-Kong, Taiwan and Singapore are going to have a delayed viewing session in movie theatres on April 14th:

Wowwww! It’s unbelievable that there’s been a consistent demand for his shows from the international audience (we know he is a household name in Japan) even after four years since he turned pro!!

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

I rather believe that it keeps rising with every event, not necessarily with his participation? It occurred these Olympic Games for instance.

Edit: The list of movie theatres where REALIVE will be projected abroad has been posted:
