Niconico Net Chokaigi 2020 Summer Announced
To those who were disappointed by the cancellation of Niconico Chokaigi 2020 and the fact that Niconico Net Chokaigi 2020 was devoid of VOCALOID-related events, we have some great news.
Niconico Net Chokaigi 2020 Summer has been confirmed for August 9 through 16!
This means we’re getting our second Chokaigi of the year 2020, and it looks like it’ll be containing many of the events that they could not hold back in April, including numerous confirmed VOCALOID events! Below, you can watch the announcement trailer and livestream.
HATSUNE MIKU LIVE – UNTITLED 0 –
One of the first confirmed announcements was for the opening act of Niconico Net Chokaigi 2020 Summer, which will be none other than HATSUNE MIKU LIVE – UNTITLED 0 -!
The official site explains that the “Untitled 0” part of the title means that the concert has no set concept, and that the stage will be ever-changing. They also confirm that all the piapro characters will be performing some of the biggest songs from past Crypton Future Media-hosted events like Magical Mirai, Miku Expo and Snow Miku, as well as some other songs never performed in Japan before. Expect to learn more soon!

Shinshutsu Kibotsu! Cho Voca Nico
Also confirmed to be returning for Niconico Net Chokaigi 2020 summer is the VOCALOID DJ party, Cho Voca Nico! This year, it will be titled Shinshutsu Kibotsu! Cho Voca Nico.
Shinshutsu Kibotsu (神出鬼没) means something along the lines of “to appear suddenly, then disappear suddenly,” like an elusive phantom. Time will tell how this theme plays into the show!
The performers for the next Cho Voca Nico have not been confirmed yet, but the trailer from earlier this year for the show that was originally intended for the offline Cho VOCALOID Area may provide some hints. Watch it below and see here for a summary of the would-be performers.

Cho Kabuki
Finally, also confirmed for Niconico Net Chokaigi 2020 Summer is the triumphant return of Cho Kabuki! Below, you can watch the star actor, Shido Nakamura II, making the announcement.
“This is Shido Nakamura. In light of the current state of affairs, I imagine that everyone must be spending more and more time at home.
“For that reason, we will be performing Cho Kabuki at Niconico Net Cho Kaigi 2020 Summer! If we can bring even just a bit of delight to you, the audience, it would make us really happy. We will pour our hearts and souls into this performance.
“I look forward you meeting you all online. This has been Shido Nakamura.”
What has not yet been confirmed is whether or not this will be the Otogi-zōshi Koi no Sugatae show that was planned for the offline Niconico Cho Kaigi 2020 and the Minami-za Kabuki Theater. Below, you can find the promotional media that was released for that show and see here for its initial details.
