Event, Steam and Key Visual
The First Event Brings All Three Main Heroines Together
HELLO WORLD! is the first franchise event to bring the performers behind VIRTUAL GIRL @ WORLD'S END's three principal heroines together in a combined talk-and-mini-live format.
Azusa Tachibana returns for Ai, Hina Tachibana represents Rinka, and May Tachibana appears as Maki. Their characters sit at the heart of major parts of the game's story and musical presentation.
That format makes the event more than a cast talk, extending the musical side that has been central to VIRTUAL GIRL @ WORLD'S END since its original release.
Two Performances at Yokohama ReNY beta
The event takes place on November 1, 2026, with two performances scheduled on the same day.
The daytime show opens at 2:00 p.m. and begins at 2:30 p.m. The evening show opens at 6:00 p.m. and begins at 6:30 p.m.
Both performances are being held at Yokohama ReNY beta with the same three announced performers.
Talk and Mini-Live Form the Core of the Program
The official event description promises special talk material from the three heroines' cast members alongside song performances.
The talk segment provides a space to revisit VIRTUAL GIRL @ WORLD'S END outside the visual novel itself, while the mini-live brings an element previously presented through performances and music videos in the game into a physical venue.
The setlist has not been announced. Individual heroine songs and the three-character track World End already exist within the franchise, but no specific song has been confirmed for HELLO WORLD!.
Osamu Nobusawa Draws the Event Key Visual
The event is being promoted with new artwork by Osamu Nobusawa, the original artist and character designer for VIRTUAL GIRL @ WORLD'S END.
The illustration brings Ai, Rinka and Maki together in a single composition, matching the event's focus on uniting all three heroines.
The key visual was publicly unveiled alongside the start of general ticket sales on August 9.
General Tickets Are Sold First-Come
Tickets cost ¥7,000 including tax for reserved seating, with a separate drink fee charged by the venue.
General sales opened on August 9 at 12:00 p.m. JST through eplus and operate on a first-come basis. Sales can therefore close earlier if the available allocation sells out.
Each customer can apply for up to two tickets for each performance under the announced conditions.
HELLO WORLD! Directly Reflects the Game's Identity
The event title takes one of the defining phrases from VIRTUAL GIRL @ WORLD'S END's story: Ai's greeting when she introduces herself as a Vstar.
The visual novel is set in Tokyo in 2055, where war, dwindling resources and population decline have shaped a world slowly losing hope. Female streamers continue performing and singing in that environment.
Ai, Rinka and Maki are also closely connected to the musical side of the game. Each heroine has her own performance material, and the three later came together for the joint song World End, making a mini-live a natural extension of the source material.
Why This Matters
1) All three main heroine performers are appearing together
HELLO WORLD! puts Azusa Tachibana, Hina Tachibana and May Tachibana on the same franchise stage.
2) It is more than a talk event
The mini-live component creates an opportunity to carry the visual novel's performance-driven identity into a physical venue.
3) The game's lead artist created new event artwork
Osamu Nobusawa returned to draw Ai, Rinka and Maki specifically for the event promotion.
4) The event arrives after the game passed its first anniversary
VIRTUAL GIRL @ WORLD'S END launched in June 2025, with HELLO WORLD! expanding the franchise into a dedicated live event in late 2026.
