The newly revealed event visual is a celebratory illustration based on the "Ichigo Production Kingdom" theme, reimagining the characters as princesses and knights. Against a backdrop of a castle floating in the sky, Aqua Hoshino, Ruby Hoshino, Kana Arima, Akane Kurokawa, MEM-cho and others gather in elegant dresses and prince attire — a festive piece fitting for a fan appreciation festival.

<Season 3 Concluded, and Onward to Season 4 "Final Season">
TV anime [Oshi no Ko] Season 3 concluded with its final episode (Episode 35), aired on March 25, 2026. On the same day, the production of Season 4 "Final Season," depicting the climax of the original manga, was announced, along with a Season 4 production-decision visual and a teaser video.

<About the Series>
The story enters a new stage. Half a year after the release of "POP IN 2," thanks to MEM-cho's efforts, B Komachi is on the verge of a breakthrough. While Aqua advances steadily as a multi-talent and Akane as a serious actress, Kana has lost her former brightness. And, chasing the truth behind the deaths of Ai and Goro, Ruby climbs the entertainment world — using lies as her weapon.
The original work is a manga by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump (published under the Young Jump Comics label), with cumulative worldwide series circulation surpassing 25 million copies. The anime is produced by Doga Kobo, directed by Daisuke Hiramaki, with series composition by Jin Tanaka, character design and chief animation direction by Kanna Hirayama, and music by Takuro Iga. The cast includes Takeo Otsuka as Aqua, Yurie Igoma as Ruby, Megumi Han as Kana Arima, Manaka Iwami as Akane Kurokawa, Rumi Okubo as MEM-cho, and Rie Takahashi as Ai.
