Japanese girl group 9nine, who has been on hiatus since April 2019, will reunite for a live performance at the Okinawa Animation Festival 2027.

The festival will take place in Naha, Okinawa, from January 29 to 31, 2027, with 9nine scheduled to perform on January 30.

Formed in September 2005, 9nine had been active as a four-member group consisting of Kanae Yoshii, Hirona Murata, Uki Satake, and Sayaka Nishiwaki since July 2016. The group announced a hiatus in 2019 to allow each member to focus on individual activities and personal growth.

9nine has performed theme songs for several anime productions, including Star Driver and Star Driver: The Movie. Satake has also done some voice acting, voicing Tsubomi in Mob Psycho 100 and QT in Space Dandy. All four members previously appeared as voice actresses in the anime The Reflection.

Regarding their upcoming reunion, the members commented, "We are all preparing to give our best and make the most of this opportunity. We hope you'll continue to support us and let us hear your voices once again. We're looking forward to seeing everyone after such a long time!"

Ticket information will be announced at a later date through the festival's official website.
