NiziU Takes Over Japan's 'Mezamashi TV' Live Broadcast, Teasing Summer Queen Return with 'LOVE BEAT' Premiere

The group NiziU appeared on Japan's flagship morning show, opening up the island nation's morning with their signature refreshing vibrance.
On May 21, a group photo capturing the lingering excitement right after their stage was uploaded to NiziU's official Instagram channel, captioned: "Thank you for watching our live appearance on Mezamashi TV! We finally got to perform 'LOVE BEAT' for the first time. We delivered loads of positive energy early in the morning alongside Kana Nishino! As the official theme song for 2026, we will keep the energy going strong all year long."
In the unveiled photo, the members of NiziU (MAKO, RIO, MAYA, RIKU, AYAKA, MAYUKA, RIMA, MIIHI, NINA) are lined up side-by-side on a flashy set, sporting coordinated outfits in lovely yet sporty pink, blue, and white tones. Every member is flashing a bright smile while directing a sweet hand heart toward the camera, sending a burst of wholesome energy to onlookers. Notably, their matured visuals and trendy styling—which mixes denim, sequin skirts, and western boots—instantly captivate global fans.
During their live broadcast appearance on Fuji TV's Mezamashi TV, NiziU announced a special collaboration initiative with renowned local singer-songwriter Kana Nishino and staged the very first live performance of "LOVE BEAT," the official program theme song for the 2026 fiscal year. Piling up accolades, the group charmed the eyes and ears of viewers with their unyielding bright energy, further upgraded synchronized choreography, and highly addictive melodies.
International fans who caught the broadcast and the update poured out passionate praise, leaving comments like, "Watching NiziU's legendary stage so early in the morning is going to fuel my entire day," "The melody of the new song 'LOVE BEAT' is so crisp and beautiful—I smell a massive hit coming," and "A collaboration with Kana Nishino? No wonder the entire country is buzzing."
Meanwhile, NiziU—who has firmly established themselves as a top-tier global girl group by sweeping major charts, including Japan's Oricon chart, with every musical release—plans to use this Mezamashi TV 2026 theme song milestone as a springboard to navigate diverse online and offline stages and global projects throughout the year, keeping their unmatched syndrome alive.
