ReoNa Makes Her AFA Thailand 2026 Debut With Seven Anime Songs


On June 1, 2026, Sony Music Labels reported that ReoNa made her first appearance at Anime Festival Asia Thailand 2026 in Bangkok on May 31. The set was built around seven songs and traced a clear path through her anime and game catalog, from Shadow House to Sword Art Online and Shangri-La Frontier.
What Was Announced
The press release says ReoNa opened with “Nai Nai,” the ending theme for Shadow House, then moved through “Seimeisen” from Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- and “Alive” from Arknights: Prelude to Dawn. She also performed “forget-me-not” from Sword Art Online Alicization, “Niji no Kanata ni,” “Gajumaru ~Heaven in the Rain~” from Shangri-La Frontier, and closed with “ANIMA” from Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld.
The same report notes that the audience responded with loud singalongs and that ReoNa greeted fans in Thai before ending the set with a promise to meet again. That combination of language, repertoire, and crowd response is what made the appearance feel like more than a short festival slot.
Why It Matters
This is a good example of how anime music now moves internationally. ReoNa did not arrive with a generic pop set; she arrived with songs already tied to specific titles that fans recognize. In one live block, the Bangkok audience got a snapshot of the way anime, games, and soundtrack culture overlap in 2026.
Context for International Fans
Anime Festival Asia Thailand is one of Southeast Asia’s major pop-culture events, so the appearance matters beyond the local stage. For overseas fans, the interesting part is how easily the setlist doubles as a map of ReoNa’s work. If you know her through Shadow House, Arknights, Sword Art Online, or Shangri-La Frontier, this performance connected those worlds in a single room.
It also shows why anime-song artists matter as live performers. Their concerts are not just promotional appearances; they are a place where a specific series, a specific ending theme, and a shared audience memory all meet.
What Happens Next
The release also pointed to ReoNa’s digital single “CLUTCH!,” which was scheduled for June 8, 2026, along with a 2026 tour cycle and a two-night arena concert in March 2027. In other words, the Bangkok stage was part of a larger run of live and release activity rather than a one-off guest appearance.
