Voice actress and artist Yui Ogura brought her inaugural fan club tour, «Yui's＊Company. LIVE TOUR 2026 SUMMER ～Utakata no Mermaid♡～», to a triumphant close on September 6, 2026, at the Yokosuka Arts Theatre. The final performance drew an enthusiastic crowd of fan club members—affectionately known as employees—who filled the venue with palpable energy from the moment the doors opened.
Kicking off the set with energetic renditions of «Platinum Passport» and «Hop Step Jump!» accompanied by her backup dancers, Ogura immediately captivated the audience. Throughout the evening, she performed a diverse catalog of fan favorites, including «Happy Strawberry», «Himitsu♡Melody», «Q.E.D.», and the tour's title track, «Utakata Mermaid». Between musical segments, screening interludes showcased footage from her recent trip to Okinawa, highlighting personal moments like sea grape harvesting and shisa pottery painting, which also served as an homage to her tour visuals from a decade prior.
The emotional evening reached its peak during the encore and double encore sessions, where Ogura performed tracks such as «Eien Shounen», «Wakuwaku Shampoo & Rinse», and «Tokimeki Weekend!». Teary-eyed and deeply moved by the reception, she expressed heartfelt gratitude to her supporters before announcing major future projects. These include her first-ever symphonic concert, titled «YUI OGURA SYMPHONIC CONCERT 2026 Once Upon a Melody ～Mahou made no 12-ji～», scheduled for November 29, 2026, at the Matsudo City Cultural Hall, as well as a special fan club event slated for February 2027.
