Franchouchou's Grand Return: The Yokohama Two-Day Apocalypse

The long-awaited live event, "Zombie Land Saga LIVE - Franchouchou Yume Ginga Festival", finally took place at the Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa on April 4th and 5th, 2026. It was a massive moment for fans of the Zombie Land Saga series, as the girls returned to the stage after a very long break. The atmosphere was absolutely electric, and you could feel the excitement in the air even before the first note was played. This particular report focuses on the high-energy performance from April 5th.

The stage featured the full cast of Franchouchou, bringing their beloved characters to life. The line-up included:

Kaede Hondo as the heart of the group, Sakura Minamoto
Asami Tano as the fiery Saki Nikaido
Risa Taneda as the legendary Ai Mizuno
Maki Kawase as the soulful Junko Konno
Rika Kinugawa as the elegant Yugiri
Mika Tanaka as the adorable Lily Hoshikawa

First Live Show in 5 Years: A Night of Firsts

It has been almost five years since the last time the group performed together like this, so the stakes were quite high. Fans were naturally worried if the spark would still be there, but those doubts vanished the moment the lights dimmed. The concert was a non-stop celebration, featuring several songs that were performed live for the very first time. Hearing the Revenge era tracks in a massive arena setting was a completely different experience compared to just watching them on a screen.

One of the highlights was seeing how the choreography has evolved. The voice actresses clearly put in a lot of hard work to match the energy of their zombie counterparts. From the heavy metal vibes to the more traditional idol pop sounds, every single transition was smooth. It really makes you realise why this idol anime with a twist has managed to stay so relevant after all these years.

Operation Franchouchou: Reckless and Cool

The theme of the night was "reckless but cool," which perfectly captures the spirit of the Saga girls. They didn't just sing; they told a story on stage. The interaction between the members during the talk segments felt very natural and human, with a few small stumbles here and there that actually made the show feel more authentic and special for the live audience.

As the "Operation Franchouchou" segment began, the crowd went totally wild. The setlist was carefully crafted to balance the high-intensity bangers with more emotional, melodic pieces that showcased the vocal range of the cast. Seeing all six of them together again was a truly bittersweet moment for the long-time followers of the series.
