NAGANO ANIERA FESTA 2026, Nagano Prefecture's largest outdoor anime song festival, has revealed its key visual.
The key visual's illustration was created by Mai Yoneyama, an illustrator from Nagano Prefecture. Art direction and design were handled by innerroom creative, completing a visual that symbolizes the 2026 edition of the festival.
Take a look at the new key visual, which builds anticipation for the festival.

"SAKUNOHANA × ANIERA" Special Collaboration Sake Debuts
This year, a special collaboration has come together between SAKUNOHANA Sake Brewery, a sake brewery in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, and ANIERA.
Two sake varieties with NAF26-exclusive labels will go on sale:
- "Junmai Daiginjo Kinmonnishiki"
- "Junmai Daiginjo Takanenishiki"
The packaging features original artwork drawn by Mai Yoneyama, who created this year's key visual. The result is two special bottles that merge the world of NAF26 with sake brewed in Saku.
Junmai Daiginjo Kinmonnishiki
Alcohol content: 15% / Rice polishing ratio: 49% / Rice: Kinmonnishiki (grown in Saku City)
Brewed using the sake rice varietal Kinmonnishiki, grown in Saku City, together with a new yeast re-selected from Nagano D yeast. The result is a sake with a gorgeous aroma and a deep, rounded flavor that doesn't tire the palate even with continued drinking.
Junmai Daiginjo Takanenishiki
Alcohol content: 15% / Rice polishing ratio: 49%
Aged in the maintenance corridor of Yochi Dam, a prefecture-operated dam in Sakuho Town. Brewed with M310 yeast, used exclusively by SAKUNOHANA Sake Brewery, this easy-drinking sake balances an elegant aroma with the natural umami of rice.
Enjoy a special drink you can only find at NAF26.
