Singer Kiyoshi Hikawa + KIINA. appeared on August 29th, the first day of "Animelo Summer Live (Anisama) 2025 'ThanXX!'", a large-scale anime song live event currently being held at Saitama Super Arena (Chuo Ward, Saitama City). This was Hikawa's third appearance at Anisama, six years after 2019.

Looking back on his last appearance at Anisama, Hikawa expressed his joy, saying, "It was six years ago, but I appeared at Anisama and received such enthusiastic cheers and applause that it completely changed my life. I sang 'Limit Break x Survivor' and everyone's passion gave me the energy to sing and live. That's why I'm happy to be back. It's the best! Everyone's the best!"

After the MC, Hikawa left the stage and changed from the long skirt-like outfit she wore when performing "Party of Monsters" to a black see-through outfit, applied bright red lipstick, and returned to the stage. After delivering a stunning long "Yeah...", she passionately sang "Limit Break x Survivor", the opening theme for the second season of the TV anime "Dragon Ball Super".

Anisama is an anime song festival that began in 2005 and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. This year's event will be held from August 29th to 31st, with a total of 50 artists appearing.
