Root, of the 2.5D idol group Strawberry Prince, is bringing his solo live "Kimi to Boku no Yakusoku in Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium" to ABEMA PPV as an exclusive stream on September 11, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Viewing tickets for the pay-per-view broadcast went on sale September 8, 2026, at 6:00 PM.
The concert was Root's first solo live in around six years, held over two days on February 28 and March 1, 2026, at Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium — the venue he had once said he dreamed of standing on. Root handled the show's overall production himself, building a story-driven set around his second full album, Kimi to Boku no Yakusoku, released in 2026. The stage featured newly introduced production ideas and performances, along with appearances from special guests 莉犬 and ころん.
The final performance of "Kimi to Boku no Yakusoku in Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium" is now set to stream exclusively on ABEMA PPV. Viewers will be able to experience the music, staging, and message to fans that Root delivered at his first solo live in roughly six years.
Everyone who purchases a viewing ticket also receives a bonus: an ABEMA-exclusive video titled "Root's Live Behind the Scenes." Alongside the main concert footage, it offers a look at Root's side of the stage that audiences don't normally see. Additional details are available on the official viewing page.
