WITH ALS Releases Report Video of 10th Anniversary Special Performance of ALS Awareness Music Festival 'MOVE FES.2026'

General Incorporated Association WITH ALS (Representative Director: Masanobu Muto, Minato City, Tokyo) has released a report video of the 10th anniversary special performance of the ALS awareness music festival 'MOVE FES.2026,' held on Saturday, June 20, 2026.

The video is approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds long. Centered on the 'body-extended live' performance that fused music, physical expression, and cutting-edge technology, it condenses the entire day of MOVE FES.2026 into a digest format, covering live performances, ALS TALK SHOW, latest research, and the charity pop-up store.

MOVE FES.2026 Report Video

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, MOVE FES.2026 was held under the theme 'THANKS X RESPECT. 10 Years of Gratitude and Respect.' The venue welcomed many attendees and was streamed nationwide, including online and via the metaverse.

The report video begins with reception and venue scenes welcoming attendees, then follows the full day's flow—live performances, ALS TALK SHOW, technology experiences, and the finale—offering a re-experience of the event. Viewers can enjoy not only the intensity of the live acts but also the atmosphere of the venue and the shared moments created by performers and the audience through the footage.

EYE VDJ MASA's Collaborative Stage Where Music, Body Extension, and Technology Intersect

A major highlight of the report video is the one-night-only collaborative stage created by EYE VDJ MASA with a lineup of guest artists.

The stage began with a solo performance by EYE VDJ MASA.

In addition to DJ and VJ operations via eye-tracking input, he performed live while controlling a robotic arm with brainwaves. Raising the robotic arm as a 'third arm,' he energized the audience and instantly heightened the venue's excitement.

He also incorporated Japanese and English calls using 'Project XrossVoice,' an AI voice synthesis communication service that recreates his past voice, delivering a unique MOVE FES-style live performance where music and body extension technology converge.

Next came wheelchair dancer Kanbara Kenta, who has performed at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Opening Ceremony and NHK's Kōhaku Uta Gassen. In his new song 'SPACE DANCE,' he collaborated with Muto, who danced as a digital avatar using NTT's latest dance motion generation technology—a first-of-its-kind attempt.

As an ALS patient, he delivered a body-extended live performance combining eye-tracking, digital avatars, brainwave-controlled robotic arms, and AI voice, embodying the message 'NO LIMIT, YOUR LIFE.' on stage.

Robotic Arm Dance Motion Technology

Later, in collaboration with M++DANCERS, an immersive and fantastical stage was created using MASA's VJ work depicting rain and thunder alongside an umbrella dance integrating LED and video technology, making it feel as if rain was falling inside the venue.

In a session with HOME MADE Kazoku and KURO, they performed the co-created song 'CRAZY LIFE,' captivating the audience with KURO's emotionally powerful rap.

With Celeina Ann, they performed 'DIFFERENT,' her transparent and gentle vocals softly enveloping the venue.

Following an impressive performance with SOME≡LINEZ, the 10th anniversary anthem 'MOVE' with NOBU featured call-and-response in Japanese and English, uniting the audience and echoing the chant of 'MOVE' throughout the venue.

In the latter half, Naotaka Uchizawa (androp), a long-time collaborator of EYE VDJ MASA, performed four consecutive songs. In collaboration with VR artist Aimi Sekiguchi, real-world and VR art merged. As the lyrics of 'EVERYONE, CHALLENGER.' sang 'Let's bloom,' flowers bloomed in the VR space, creating a unique, three-dimensional artistic expression that overlapped with the live performance—an ethereal stage experience possible only at MOVE FES.

Next, together with Yui Wago and FLY DANCERS, they performed 'FLY,' marking its fifth year since the collaborative release. Their flexible and dynamic dance performance embodied the song's world through their entire bodies, creating a dreamlike stage.

Finally, in the finale, they performed 'YOU,' EYE VDJ MASA's first-ever love song, recently released, accompanied by LED ribbon performances by M++DANCERS. The heartfelt message of love and gratitude composed via eye-tracking input was enveloped by Uchizawa's vocals and the fantastical LED ribbon visuals, concluding the 10th anniversary special performance.

With different expressions layered for each song, music, dance, XR art, and technology came together as one unified work, symbolizing MOVE FES.2026.

Capturing Everything from ALS TALK SHOW to the Latest Technology

The ALS TALK SHOW featured Masanobu Muto, Orii Yoshito, Kouta Minamizawa, Mariko Nakamura, Mikito Ogino, Kuriko Kurokawa, and Aimi Sekiguchi. Under the theme 'THANKS X RESPECT. 10 Years of Gratitude and Respect,' they discussed the changes over the past decade and the future of ALS treatment and body extension technology.

The video also includes the public experiment of 'BRAIN DRONE,' which is controlled by brainwaves, and the 'MOVE FES.2026 ESPORTS CUP' using electromyographic sensors. Viewers can experience the unique world of MOVE FES, where research, welfare, and entertainment intersect.

At the pop-up store, items from the apparel brand '01 BORDERLESS WEAR,' produced by Masanobu Muto, were sold. Remote customer service was provided via the avatar robot 'OriHime,' realizing a new retail experience free from constraints of disability or workplace location.

The report video includes scenes not visible in the live stream, such as attendees becoming one with the stage and experiencing the latest physical expression by holding M++DANCERS' LED ribbons. Including participatory content unique to MOVE FES, viewers can fully enjoy the atmosphere of the venue beyond just the live performances.
