Aipri World 2026 brings live shows, games and merchandise to fans
Aipri World 2026 filled Makuhari Messe with live performances, arcade games, themed food and exclusive merchandise across a sold-out weekend.
Aipri World 2026 brought the world of Onegai Aipri to Makuhari Messe on 11 and 12 October, with live performances, games, food, merchandise and hands-on activities across the two-day event.123
A parade-themed fan event
The event was the second Aipri World, following the first edition in 2025. This year’s theme centred on a “Bazurium Parade” concept, with new promotional designs showing the Aipri characters in parade outfits. Takara Tomy Arts’ official event site listed stage programmes, game activities, food and a dedicated merchandise area.12
Both days sold out, according to the event report, as families and fans moved between the stage, arcade-game and experience areas.3 The venue also offered themed food and drinks, special stickers, photo spots and character-based activities.13
Live shows and exclusive items
The opening stage introduced the venue’s different areas, including the “Game de Bazurium Parade!” activity and the Fortune lottery. The special live stage then ran through 13 songs, bringing together characters from Onegai Aipri and Himitsu no Aipri. New outfits for the six-member Onegai Kanae-tai were also shown for the first time.3
Visitors could play the Onegai Aipri and Aipri Verse arcade games in a dedicated event activity. Participants received special four-star Aipri cards featuring Inori and Aoi, while the food and merchandise areas used the event’s original key artwork.13

Our opinion
Aipri World 2026 worked because it treated the franchise as more than a stage show. The combination of live music, playable content, food and collectable items gave visitors several ways to take part, while the cross-series appearance of Himitsu no Aipri characters added a welcome sense of occasion. With both dates sold out, the event also underlined how effectively the franchise is connecting its anime, arcade and live-event sides.
