Kanae Throws Kuzuha a Birthday Party With a Whole-Melon Cake and a Piñata
The ChroNoiR stream ended with a bath towel, a cap and a matching jersey set picked out for Kuzuha’s live practice.
NIJISANJI — Kanae hosted a birthday party for his ChroNoiR partner Kuzuha on the duo’s channel on Nov. 9, setting everything up before Kuzuha arrived and opening with a whole-melon cake. The stream, titled as a 2026 birthday celebration for Kuzuha, ran about 41 minutes.
Kanae said he was returning the favor after Kuzuha threw a party for him. That party’s cake was made of meat; this one was a Ginza Fruits whole-melon cake built from Shizuoka musk melon and domestic strawberries, chosen because Kuzuha likes both fruit. Kanae sliced the lid off a real melon on camera to reveal the cake inside, and Kuzuha dug in with a spoon, praising the melon and the cream. Kanae also brought a bouquet with a single red rose among black-to-red blooms, which Kuzuha called stylish.
“It was just a happy time.” — Kanae and Kuzuha, as the party wound down
Because Kuzuha has been busy preparing for a live show, Kanae added a set of gifts meant to help him unwind. Kuzuha swung a stick at a piñata that Kanae had filled with snacks he thought Kuzuha would like, including Young Donuts and a large number of Morocco Yoghurt candies, and sweets flew across the room. Kanae then strapped on Gorilla no Hitotsukami, a calf massager that squeezes the leg in stages, and Kuzuha tried it on his right leg and called it strong but good. A Shakti mat, a spiked acupressure mat, drew pained shouts from Kuzuha, who said it hurt but felt good once he stepped off.
Kanae called those items the warm-up and said the real presents were ones he had bought himself, with no one else knowing what they were. Kuzuha unwrapped an oversized bath towel, a cap and a jersey set, each tied with ribbon he struggled to undo. Kanae said Kuzuha could wear the cap and jersey for dance practice before the live, and a matching set was meant for the two of them. Kuzuha said he would wear them until they wore out.
Chat filled with congratulations during the toast and again at the close, and viewers called the pair’s exchanges more than they could take in. Kuzuha ended by saying he was so happy he could die, and the two asked viewers to leave their thoughts on the party in the comments.
