On the second day, August 31, along with the already announced members of the "Love Live!" series' "Hasunosora Girls' School Idol Club," three new members will perform: Yona Sakurai (as Ginko Momoji), Fuka Hayama (as Kozue Tachimachi), and Rin Kuzusu (as Kimie Ankyoji). Additionally, the six-piece air band "MASOCHISTIC ONO BAND," born from the radio program "Kamiya Hiroshi & Ono Daisuke's Dear Girl Stories," will make its first appearance at Anisama.

On the final day, September 1, the Kitauji Quartet, who performs the ending theme of the TV anime "Sound! Euphonium 3" currently airing since April, will make their third appearance at Anisama. Moreover, the popular idol unit B Komachi from the TV anime "Oshi no Ko," which will start its eagerly awaited second season in July, will make their Anisama debut. This unit consists of Ruby (CV: Yurie Igoma), Kana Arima (CV: Megumi Han), and MEMcho (CV: Rumi Okubo).

"Animelo Summer Live" started with "Animelo Summer Live 2005 -THE BRIDGE-" and has become the world's largest annual anime song live event, drawing over 80,000 attendees over three days (including rescheduled events due to the impact of the new coronavirus).

This year's 19th edition is themed "Stargazer," meaning "one who gazes at stars." This theme was inspired by Masayoshi Oishi, last year's grand finale performer, who described the unique views and worlds that can only be experienced at Anisama.

Artists on stage gaze at the starry sky created by the audience's penlights, while the audience gazes at the stars on stage—the artists shining brightly. Together, they create a unique Anisama landscape. Each participant in this stargazing event becomes a star in the vast starry sky, adding to the warmth and expansiveness of this romantic event, as we look forward to Anisama's 20th anniversary next year.
