On September 7th, idol group Nogizaka46 held the final performance of their "Midsummer National Tour 2025" at Meiji Jingu Stadium (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo). The "kiss" between popular members Sakura Endo and Haruka Kaki attracted a lot of attention.
During the second song, "Jikochuu de Ikou!", Kaki asked Endo for a kiss on the cheek, but Endo responded by kissing him on the mouth over the palm of her hand.
Fans were thrilled by the exchange between the two, who are known as "Kakisaku" by their peers. Viewers of the stream also shared their excitement on social media, with comments such as "Wow wow wow wow wow," "Saku-chan...that kiss was crazy," "Saku-chan was aggressive," "They're doing Kakisaku!", "Kakisaku...(ascension, death)," and "Kakisaku interaction was definitely the winner this summer!"
