From virtual star to global sensation — Nanami Urara stunned Hong Kong in 3D at the genre-bending Joy∞Stage festival on July 19. The “parallel singer” made her overseas debut with a show-stopping performance, bathing the ballroom in her signature blue glow-sticks and roaring Cantonese cheers. With cutting-edge 3D visuals and irresistible charisma, she blurred the line between real and virtual, turning the Grand Ballroom into her unforgettable stage.

Greeting the crowd with “大家好!” (“Hello everyone!") in fluent Cantonese, Nanami Urara launched into her viral original track “Is it Uraraka? それはうららか?”, prompting loud call-and-response chants of “Hai! Hai!” from the packed audience. In a moment of unexpected real-time intimacy, a fan shouted, “Is the water tasty?” as she paused between songs. “It's super tasty!” she replied, sparking laughter and loud applause. It was a perfect reminder that even in virtual form, Nanami Urara's performances feel profoundly human.

“Everyone welcomed me so warmly — it turned into the most amazing, high-energy show,” Nanami Urara shared after the set. “I think this was a big moment for people to discover Nanami Urara, and I'll keep doing my best so I can take part in more anime events and music festivals!”

Nanami Urara closed her set by taking a commemorative photo with fans and later posted behind-the-scenes content from her trip on social media — making it clear that she moves between digital and physical worlds with equal ease.
