Kisara Sets Halloween Premiere for Eight-Person ‘Bad End Night’ Cover She Organized

NIJISANJI — Kisara, a Nijisanji streamer, said Thursday that she will premiere a cover of “Bad End Night” with seven other singers at 8 p.m. Japan time on Oct. 31, Halloween. She organized the project herself, inviting the cast and arranging the recording, and described it as the large-scale collaboration she had wanted to do this year. She made the announcement on a drinking chat stream, an *inshu zatsudan*, with a Japanese plum sour in hand.

Kisara said she has released a Halloween song every year of her three-year career and chose the song because she associates big collabs with the old Vocaloid chorus pieces. She said she also wanted viewers who do not know it to hear it from Nijisanji’s younger talents. The thumbnail hides the singers’ faces so that viewers will watch the video to find out who they are, and she said she attended as many of the recording sessions as she could. The cast exceeded what she had pictured, she said.

“I was so nervous all day that nothing would go down my throat.” — Kisara, on announcing the collaboration

The same group will play Wolf Knock on Kisara’s channel at 8 p.m. on Oct. 30, the day before the release. She described it as a party game in which players must give matching answers while a werewolf-style hidden role is among them, and said she picked it because it sits close to the world of the song. Kisara also said she will enter a Splatoon tournament on a randomly assigned team of four, and she was still weighing which weapon to use.

Between announcements she opened packages on camera: new merchandise including a hoodie, which she said had already sold out, a tote bag, stickers and an acrylic charm; a Zelda-themed Switch 2, which she said she plans to keep connected to her TV; and Pokémon Christmas goods. From three blind-box Flocky Pikachu figures she drew the Santa version she wanted most, along with a present-holding Pikachu, and a blind-box Sweet Craft figure turned out to be Sylveon.

She then played two of her voice recordings, a “secret request” voice and a yokai parody voice, in a shared listening with viewers, counting down so everyone pressed play together. She said she found them embarrassing to hear and would try to hold another listening near the end of the month if a chat stream fits. The broadcast moved to a second stream after the first would not start properly, and it ended after about two hours with Kisara reading six Super Chats, well short of her usual four to six hours, which she attributed to having so much news to share.
