The anime Watcha PriMa! marked its 5th anniversary on August 29 with a special solo live event at Shibuya LOVEZ — the first of its kind for the franchise. Two shows (day and evening) were packed to capacity, with fans chanting the signature catchphrase "Watcha PriMa!" as the curtain opened.

The cast kicked things off with a 5th Special version of their opening theme Dreaming Sound, followed by a setlist packed with duo performances that showcased each character's personality — from the sweet-and-dark dynamic of Miruki × Remon to the high-energy chemistry between Mjamu and Chimmu. Several songs made their live debut, including My Miracle Stage and Change-Up Trigger, where Kyaron poured her feelings for Remon into a standout solo moment.

But the emotional peak came midway through the show. After the cast reunited using their "Watcha" power, the screens cut to Episode 50's iconic farewell scene — the sunset beach moment between Matsuri and Mjamu — performed as a live dub (アフレコ) right there in front of the audience. It was a moment many fans couldn't watch without tears. After the dub, Matsuri stepped back on stage in a brand-new "Love Elements" costume, and Mjamu and Matsuri closed the segment with Magic·Watcha Parade, bringing the crowd to its feet.

The finale saw the entire cast descend into the audience for a final bow. Mjamu's voice actor, Riko Koike, was moved to tears as the cast called out their final "3, 2, 1 — Watcha!" "PriMa!" response together. A livestream archive is available until September 13.

Event Details:

• Venue: Shibuya LOVEZ, Tokyo
• Date: August 29, 2026 (Day & Night shows)

It's rare for a 5-year-old anime to finally get its own solo live — this was clearly a deeply meaningful event for the cast. The live dub of the finale episode was a brilliant touch, and Mjamu crying while walking through the audience is exactly the kind of emotional payoff that makes anniversary events special.
