The four LIVE UNION members-Enma Ruri, HACHI, Setono Toto, and Minase Nagi-performed as the headlining block, while the Fused label acts Hikiku, Diα, CULUA, and CONA played in darkness without stage lighting, a style closer to Ado\u0026#39;s live shows than typical VTuber concerts. Between those two groups, VESPERBELL and KMNZ held the middle ground as established acts, and the two newest units brought growling vocals and club-influenced production that the report calls representative of RK Music in 2026.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"RK Music Fes. 2026 daytime: 40 songs in 2.5 hours, all 14 acts from 8 years of the label.
