NCHIVE
The young group NCHIVE is going through a period of contrasts, between celebrating its 700th day since debut and the unexpected announcement of a major performance cancellation in Japan.
As the group was preparing to fly to Osaka, news tempered fans’ excitement. Agency AUBE MOON STUDIO released an official statement announcing that NCHIVE would ultimately not be able to participate in the “LIFE 4 CUTS MUSIC FEST 2026“, scheduled for March 22 at Zepp Namba. Citing “complex issues,” the agency expressed deep regrets over this forced absence, while promising to work hard for the group to return to the stage soon with better performances.

“Hello. This is AUBE MOON STUDIO.
First, we would like to apologize for having to announce sad news to fans who sent so much anticipation and love ahead of NCHIVE’s performance in Japan.
We inform you that due to complex issues, NCHIVE will inevitably not be able to participate in the “LIFE 4 CUTS MUSIC FEST 2026” which was to be held at Zepp Namba in Osaka, Japan, on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
We are deeply sorry and regret causing great inconvenience and concern to fans who were awaiting this appearance.

In recent days, the atmosphere was festive for NCHIVE and its fandom, the SAVEs. The group celebrated their 700th day since debut, marking a significant year of growth. The members shared multiple thank-you messages and special content on social media to express their gratitude toward fans who have supported them since the start of their career. This symbolic milestone was meant to be crowned with a meeting with the Japanese public, but fate had other plans.
Despite this logistical disappointment, the strength of the relationship between NCHIVE and its fans remains intact, fueled by the positive energy from their recent anniversary and the promise of upcoming projects.
