The voice actor live event for the music-based rap project Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- is returning with a brand-new show. Titled Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- 12th LIVE ≪MIC AS ONE≫, the concert will take place over two days on October 3 and 4, 2026, at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama.
This marks the first time since the 10th LIVE in April 2024 that all seven divisions — Ikebukuro, Yokohama, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Osaka, Nagoya, and Chuo — will gather on one stage. Fans have been eagerly awaiting a full-division lineup, and the 12th LIVE will deliver exactly that, featuring 21 cast members in total.
Ticket details have also been revealed. Reserved seats are priced at 13,500 yen (tax included), with a limit of two tickets per person. The fastest advance lottery for tickets opens on July 10 at 21:00 JST exclusively for members of the official fan club HYPSTER, and will remain open until July 23:59 on July 20. Pre-orders for official 12th LIVE merchandise will also begin at the same time.
In addition to the live announcement, it was confirmed that Blu-ray discs for last year’s Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- 11th LIVE ≪Final D.R.B≫ will be released simultaneously on September 30, 2026. The 11th LIVE was held in September and October 2025, with performances structured around the matchups seen in the interactive film Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-. That film, released in 2025, became a massive hit, drawing 1.12 million attendees and earning over 2.7 billion yen at the box office.
Three separate Blu-ray volumes will be released, each covering the two-day performances of specific division pairings. The volumes are:
- Fling Posse & Matenro (KIXM-675, 9,000 yen tax included)
- MAD TRIGGER CREW & Dotsuitare Honpo (KIXM-676, 9,000 yen tax included)
- Buster Bros!!! & Bad Ass Temple (KIXM-677, 9,000 yen tax included)
Each Blu-ray includes the full Day 1 and Day 2 concert footage, with setlists featuring division anthems, group performances, and the finale number “MIC AS ONE.” DJ U-ICHI also appears on all discs.
To celebrate the Blu-ray release, a series of advance screening events called “11th LIVE Advance Screenings” will be held on three separate dates. Each event will feature an early viewing of the corresponding Blu-ray footage, followed by a talk show with one cast member from each of the two divisions that performed. The scheduled guests are:
- September 9: Ishii Haruki (Ikebukuro) and Takeuchi Eiji (Bad Ass Temple)
- September 17: Komada Wataru (Yokohama) and Iwasaki Ryota (Osaka)
- September 28: Shirai Yusuke (Shibuya) and Ito Kento (Shinjuku)
Additional store-specific bonus items for the Blu-rays have also been announced; details are available on the official website.
